No floaties if you clean it once in a while...

I haven't had any issues at all with it.  I do take a minute or two to take it apart once a week and wash it with warm soapy water and rinse well,  Rinse the filter out with cold water a couple of seconds and shake till I hear "sand" moving inside.  Then top it off the rest of the week.  I have not had any problems of the filter not filtering and I have no residue floating at the bottom.  I will buy another smaller one for the camper.  I love it, the water tastes better than bottled water to me.

works well - my second - after a couple of years the float tends to stick so have to replace the unit - but this was the same with the previous type I used

It' a great pool floatie float! Big enough for me (1m93) to relax. The only downside is that it deflates a bit after a few hours...
Other then that, there is a stripe and a few dots of orange on the swans neck so that's a bit of an issue...

My tank glass was quite dirty when this arrived.  After a rinse in some warm water, it was in the tank cleaning in no time. The cleaning surface for the inside of the tank is similar, if not the same material as the rough/hard portion of Velcro (hook portion I believe). Outer portion that contacts the glass is a soft material that glides across the glass nicely. The inner portion does float if you get aggressive and it detatches from the glass, making it readily retrievable. My only gripe is that the magnets are not as strong as I'd like. I can't get moving too fast with the cleaner, other wise, I break the magnetic pull and have to go to the top to retrieve the cleaning portion. Cleans well, just can't be aggressive/fast/impatient while cleaning, or else you'll be retrieving the floating portion often.

it did come with a small leak , we patched it and it worked fine. I know that this is common with
any air float. loved it on the water .

Dang, this is awesome and totally waterproof with a better construction than other LED balls, but the dang thing doesn't float!  What's the point of it being waterproof if it doesn't float?!  Kind of floats now and then, but I lost two already in fresh water where it maybe got stuck in the mud and didn't have enough flotation, and it takes forever to float to the surface in clear water, likely with trapped air bubbles rather than actual flotation.  Bummer!!

It's too bad that they didn't figure out how to get the suction cups to work well because this mat is perfect (though not quite big enough for my tub, but that's my problem).  I'm actually wondering if it wouldn't work better if it didn't have the cups on it because it doesn't slip. I think the only problem is that it would float. The mat is really comfortable for bathing our two 8 month old girls and it works perfectly to keep them from slipping.  I wish they had a wider range of sizes because we really would have to use 2 of these to cover the bottom of our tub.

The mat dries fast and after a couple months it still doesn't smell at all, though probably because we hang it to dry between baths. I'd recommend finding a place where you can suction cup it to the wall or a window to dry it.

This is a very sturdy and comfortable float for my 6', 225 lb. body.  I've only had it part of one season so far but it seems like it will last a few years at least.

we've been using this for two years now. our gold fish have been doing well on it. they don't have to gulp down air as with those floating products.  won't get easily sucked into the filter intake as the flakes did. no mess in the tank and we can go longer before having to change the filter.

This product is great!  I was a bit worried when it only held 3 chlorine tabs but we are filling it less than we filled our standard 6 tab floater.  The unit will float to the top when it is empty.  I thought for sure it was broken as 2 months had gone by without it coming up but sure enough there was still chlorine in it.  Definately worth the cost due to the decreased amount of wasted chlorine.

I've had my Floatron for just this season.  It's done a fantastic job.  I just let it float all the time.  [I do clean (scrape the residue off) the inner core every other week, to make sure the Floatron is operating at full strength.  Even so, I know I will *at least* get into next season before I need to replace the core.]

I have an 18'x36' in-ground pool with steps.  I also have four large outdoor dogs that use the pool steps to cool off, although they don't go beyond the steps (I don't have the heart to block them from the pool given the mid-to-high 90s temps and high humidity in the summers here.)

Last year, I had to use a lot of chlorine (6-8 3" tablets a week) and clean the pool at least twice a week, and I still had to clear out algae at least every other week.

This year, I've had no algae even though I'm using a lot less chlorine (2-4 3" tablets a week) and only clean the pool once a week.  Chlorine and baking soda are all I've needed.  The water is also much easier on the eyes and much more enjoyable to swim in.

I haven't had problems with any green/staining, but, come to think of it, my friends don't have blond hair, so that could still be a problem for some.

Overall, I highly recommend this product; it's definitely worth the cost.  It allows you to avoid the cost of dealing with algae, in terms of both chemicals and frustration.

For those with slippery bathtubs, this item is a must have.  Feet really grip well onto the surface of the mat..  Only negative thing is that it needs to be washed maybe once every month or so..  if not it develops a slimy surface on the top and bottom..  did a quick wash with normal bar soap and a scrubber and it was good as new.

This float is a very comfy. It keeps you high and dry. The only bad thing was after 1 month of use, the float got a hole in the seam between the seat and arm. There was no patching it because of the area and it's a main stress point (There was a patch kit that came with it). Needless to say, all we have is the u-shaped arms left. I thought about buying another one, and then when I read reviews that it may be the chlorine breaking it down,I decided to wait.

Holds my container of floatant very well.  There is little to no chance of it popping out.

This does a nice job but if you don't go slow it drops off and it doesn't float.
I have the Long model for my display tank and love it, thats why I bought this one.
The front and back round nosing falls off on mine. Just doesn't seem like the quality
I have in the Long model but still a nice cleaner

This is great. It doesn't float away from the tub, or cling to me. I'm using it as a liner for my other fabric curtain. I can't report on mold as I haven't had it that long. but I am not seeing anything so far.
