I have a above ground pool which has a 6 foot drop in the center and the vacuum I have can not climb out, will I have the same issue with this one?
1832073
Definitely should not! Mine climbs the drop and all the walls, even to the top, of my in-ground pool with no trouble at all!

My pool goes from 2inches of water to 8 feet in the deep end and I've not had any problems with it not being able to "climb out".

My vacuum routinely climbs the walls so I believe that it will be able to climb out of your drop in the center of the pool.
1832076
If it will work at all which is doubtful I could not get it to work in my pool which was an in ground
1832077
Probably so I threw mine in the trash best way to clean it is a manual vacuum clean it yourself best one out there

absolutely not it may go under a foot. also to replace the brush roll costs as much as the vacuum itself

You have to make sure all the air is out of the hose for it to work properly, so if you disconnect it, you'll probably have to pull the sections of the hose apart to ensure there is NO air in them. If I'm doing this by myself, the easiest way is from in the pool, keeping the hose ends under water. If you have help, it's possible to do it from outside of the pool.

I don't know if you have an above ground, or in ground pool. We have an in ground pool, and it hooks up where our pool vacuum hooks up. Sorry if you have an above ground pool, I am not sure where you would use it. Try asking the company that makes it. We love ours, so hope you can find a way to use one. It can not be used for leaves and large stuff. But it removes any small, float on top of the water stuff.

I have a vacuum line and that's what I attach it to. I don't use the skimmer for the vacuum.

Truthfully, I find it slightly annoying in my above ground pool. I tend to have to put more pressure on the vacuum head to get it to work properly. However, it has been a great vacuum with the brushes all around. Sometimes I have to lift when the brushes tend to push away the debris to get it to be picked up.

I don't think you can, a vac store can probably repair it for you. Look on the shark website.

Don't know, but it's heavy. Once you have to grab the handle, I find that I have to roll the wheels over the edge of the pool. That might mar your liner. Do you have tiles above your liner and/or edging that protrudes over edge of pool, that might keep the vac away from the liner. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes this tool can be used with an above ground pool. However, most above ground pools are round. If that is the case for the one you own, you may have issues getting sand and debris from near the edges of the pool. Using this tool in conjunction with a triangular shaped brush such as this one Blue Devil B5603C See-Thru Vinyl Carded Vacuum, 3-Pound would be more effective. Or just opt for a triangular vacuum head by itself.

Scott, the Aquabot Jr. will indeed work in above ground pools. The secret is to only place enough cable in the pool to reach the other side. Note: Some units that climb have difficulty in above ground pools due to the steep angle.

I don't know. I also have a salt water pool, but the unit is time consuming for a large pool. It was easier for me just to use my vacuum.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. The S2 line-up is designed to vacuum pool floors and if there is a pool floor to wall radius of at least 6" it will climb and clean the cove and partial wall. Note: Most above ground pools do not meet this standard and the cleaner will focus on the pool floor where the majority of the debris settles.

The pump runs on our pool while the cover is on. I'm not sure about a vacuum.

Hi I'm not sure what's the problem but do you have enough hose to it? I have Diver Dan an he works fantanstic. Are you using this in an above ground pool or in ground? I have a 24x 52 above ground? Have you checked to see if it has any sticks or leaves inside of the whale? Let me know also if you have your hoses wound in circles might be the problem they are suppose to be memory hoses an not to be wound up? Hope this helps.

Yes, I cannot vacuum the deep end of the pool with the head laying flat, it has to be tilted. I have tried switching the position of the weights, but have had no luck in correcting the problem. I have an old Hayward cleaning head, and it never gave me this problem.

Mine is above ground. I thought about building a deck around it but the drain on this pool is toward the bottom so putting it in ground or building a deck around would require a hose attached and fed out somewhere for better drainage so that you can clean it. Even at that, I normally dump out about an inch of water that doesn't drain and being in ground would make that difficult. I love the pool and someday I may figure something out but I like to clean mine regularly and so far I have not found a way to incase it in anything that would still allow me to clean it well.

My pool is 6' in the deep end. It does ok. My previous Aquabot functioned better however I paid allot more money for it. It's repair costs were prohibitive. This device has fewer parts and should hold up better. This device has a (1) hour setting and (3) hour setting. It will take longer to clean your pool so once it shuts off, turn the switch off and on and it will repeat itself. Good luck!
