It's not recommended to leave your pool vacuum in the pool overnight as this can cause the vacuum to break.
Robotic pool cleaners are effective at picking up algae from pool surfaces. Algae are small, plant-like organisms that can range in color from green to brown. Algae can quickly grow in pools where there is little to no circulation. Robotic pool cleaners can help to remove algae from pool surfaces and help to keep pools clean and clear.
Most people don't turn their pool pumps off when they vacuum their pool. However, there are a few reasons why you might want to turn your pump off. If your pool has a lot of debris in it, turning off the pump can help to prevent the vacuum from getting clogged. Additionally, if you have a lot of suction power, turning off the pump can help to prevent the vacuum from pulling up too much water.
If you have a pool, you know that it can be tough to keep it clean. One of the hardest parts is getting dirt off the bottom. If you let the dirt build up, it will be harder to clean and your pool will be less enjoyable. Here are a few tips to help you get the dirt off the bottom of your pool: 1. Use a pool vacuum. This is the best way to get the dirt off the bottom of your pool. Just attach the vacuum to your pool's filter system and turn it on. The vacuum will do all the work for

Before recently purchasing the two wheeled version of the "Hayward Poolvergnuegen 896584000-013" for which this review was written, I possessed a four wheeled limited addition model comparable to the "Hayward Poolvergnuegen 896584000-525" for nearly 6 years. To regulate the suction, I combined both units with the Pentair R211100 Vac-Mate Pool Cleaner Dispenser Box. Depending on the time of year and the anticipated amount of trash in the pool, I also use either the Hayward W530 Large Capacity Leaf Canister with Mesh Bag or the Hayward W560 PoolVac Navigator Standard Leaf Canister.My old four wheel unit, which is over 6 years old, broke after some young children tried to ride it in the water, breaking some of the internal gears, which I now rebuilt and got my old four wheel unit running flawlessly again. This is why I bought a new two wheel type. However, my pool guy suggested that I switch it out for a two-wheeled unit, which is comparable to the four-wheeled one I already own, in order to save money as the two-wheeled unit is less expensive to buy and should provide the same level of cleaning. I chose to return the two-wheeled item after trying it out and ordering new parts to replace the ones that the kids had destroyed while trying to ride my older four-wheeler (parts I replaced Poolvergnuegen 896584000-112 Front Right Gear Drive Assembly Replacement for Select Pool Cleaners, and Poolvergnuegen 896584000-136 Steering Slide Assembly Replacement for select Pool Cleaners).Reminder to self and others: Remove pool cleaner before allowing children or others to enter the water. You'll save money, hassle with maintenance and components, and downtime.This review contrasted the two-wheeler I just bought with "my previous six-year-old four-wheeled model," the results of which I have seen firsthand. According to the manufacturer's website, the two-wheeled type is made for smaller pools because it is made to move quickly, turn or spin, then quickly move again, and so on. The two wheel version, I saw, was not stable enough to climb the sidewalls of my pool, either at the deep end or the shallow end, as it would come off the wall and remain at the bottom. I would describe my pool as a giant swimming pool that is 10 feet deep, has a bowl-shaped bottom, and radiused corners almost all the way around. The cleaner does go around the square bottom corners that I have near my steps and seating ledges, but it does not climb up and over them. The four-wheeled variant, which the manufacturer recommends for larger pools, travels farther through the water before turning and is stable enough to climb all sidewalls, including those at the deep end, for better cleaning and to avoid algae/slime growth. In reality, if the suction vacuum is set too high, the four-wheel unit creeps up the sidewalls and emerges from the water sufficiently to draw in air, which produces a very loud sucking sound that can be frightful when your family and friends are nearby and that resembles a viscous creature. When guests arrive at night, I adore cranking up the vacuum so when it growls and slurs, they almost jump out of their skin...LOL! The two wheel unit in my pool would sway back and forth while remaining on the bottom, which forced me to go out my pool brush and clean the sidewalls. The two wheel type covers considerably less ground before turning or spinning to move in a different direction. The type with four wheels travels much farther before turning or spinning to move in a different direction. The two wheeled unit only spent a few days in the deep end of the pool and never touched the small debris on the other 2/3 of the pool because it had trouble navigating the sloped upward contours of the pool. I watched both units for hours, but the two wheeled unit only covered 1/3 of my pool near the deep end the entire time. About 98 percent of my pool is beautifully covered by the four wheel version. As I already indicated, it cannot maneuver around my stairs' squared corners or the sitting ledges, for which I have not yet encountered a pool cleaner that can do so.In conclusion, whilst two wheel vehicles could not navigate my pool's high slopes or barriers, four wheel vehicles could. The four-wheeled unit travels the whole length of the pool and provided far better coverage than the two-wheeled unit, which turned more frequently but covered less of the pool. It was suggested that the two wheeled model I used might have a flaw, but without buying another one, how can I confirm my observed results?I should also mention that Amazon handled my purchase, delivery, and return all flawlessly and professionally. I want to express my gratitude for enabling me to return this unit after using it, and I hope that my review will assist others in selecting the unit that will work best for their particular pool situation.

Let me begin by saying that I am a local of the Phoenix area. For the past two years, I have used pop-ups to remove trash from the pool floor. I made the decision that I wanted to take action to make the pool a little bit cleaner before the summer season began. On at least a dozen various suction cleaners like this, I conducted extensive study. I named this fish in my little tank my zodiac barracuda, and it is AMAZING. The package was fantastic, the instructions were quite simple to follow and included colored illustrations, all while being a high-quality product. Nice rubber, not the cheap stuff you see on other items, makes up the wheel tracks. The actual cleaner is robust and nicely made. The bottom of my pool had a lot of mesquite tree leaves and was quite unclean. It goes without saying that I was generally ashamed of the pool—not now! There is not a single piece of detritus in the entire pool, and the water is perfectly clear. What a tank, this little guy is! The unique hose adapters are really cool. I have three extra hoses and a 15K-gallon play pool, so I wouldn't recommend buying more unless you had an Olympic-sized pool in your backyard. I also purchased the leaf catcher that was promoted with this cleaner, and it performs equally well. You won't be disappointed if you get this cleanser right away and put an end to it.

To replace my Hayward Navigator, which I was able to keep running for 17 years, I bought a Baracuda G3. Nearly every year, the Navigator required new parts, and I eventually became weary of spending $100 to $200 a year to keep it running.I read in a few reviews of the Baracuda that it would run for a while before ceasing to operate. I believe I've discovered the answer to this issue.This was the cleaner's first cleaning of the calendar year. As expected, this spring's murky waters were home to terrible things. A roofing shingle that had fallen into the pool during renovations this winter was sucked up by the Baracuda. The debris was able to snag a hold of the diaphragm of the Baracuda. Therefore, it was already time to disassemble the cleaner and see how it operated.I cleaned up the mess, put everything back together, and reconnected it. It initially functioned well before stopping. I checked the hoses, the suction, adjusted the weight, and looked for any additional problems as usual. After a while, I began to consider how this cleaner moves along on its own. The cleaner appeared to be able to wobble and propulsion itself around the pool once again if I released the inner sleeve holding the diaphragm.Well, that worked nicely. Don't overtighten the inner sleeve holding the diaphragm when reassembling the Baracuda. I've discovered that turning it till it stops and then backing off little is the best technique. As a result, the cleaner might move and the diaphragm can sway. The tightening of the outermost sleeve is necessary for the rubber gasket to form a seal.I haven't read the instructions, so I'm not sure if they include this.

I purchased mine in May 2014 and have been pleased with it ever since. The price of name brand pool cleaners, which in my area ranges from $350-$400, as well as the cost of the parts, which are all made of plastic and rubber, has never made sense to me.The cleaner itself, the hose sections, the hose weights, and the pressure regulator that enables you to regulate the water bypass at the skimmer connection were all included in the box. The hose pieces are the same size as those you can purchase for a Kreepy Krauly or Barracuda at your neighborhood pool supply shop.If you assume that they (the name brand ones) only last approximately two years, you would pay roughly $175–$200 every year on average, according to a man at a pool store. I estimated that I could purchase one of these for roughly $80-$85 each year if necessary and still save money.However, I did have one issue that took me some time to resolve. It might have been a coincidence, but once the water became cold, my regular Kreepy Krauly stopped moving when the pump turned on every day. The flapper appeared to become caught up against a wall. The flapper would run for several hours until my pump cycled off if I reached into the water and fiddled with it with my fingers to get it moving once more. However, when the timer began the pump again the next day, it wouldn't operate until I manually turned it on.I made sure the pool was backwashed and that the pressure was appropriate, among other standard improvements. No debris was present in the cleaner's interior, exterior, flapper, head, or any other component. There was plenty of suction; clearly, that wasn't the issue because once I manually began it, it would function perfectly.After considerable trial and error, I eventually discovered that the flapper was being prevented from moving by the baffle plate just slightly touching against it. It always got caught up against the same side of the baffle plate where the screw is attached.I can only assume that the flapper is primarily made of rubber and has very little inflated as a result of the cold water.Two tiny protrusions from the baffle plate that fit into holes in the cleaner head hold the opposite side of the plate in place while a screw holds the other side to the baffle plate on one side. On one side—possibly just by an eighth of an inch—the holes allow the baffle plate to slide up and down, but not on the opposite side, which houses the screw.Although I attempted to unscrew the screw, the suction just served to push the plate up against the flapper. Finally, I came up with the idea of placing a little washer under the baffle plate and screwing it in place. By doing this, the baffle plate is slightly raised, preventing it from rubbing against the flapper.To prevent rust, I purchased a stainless steel washer from my neighborhood hardware store. The Kreepy Krauly's included screw is made of stainless steel as well. I've included pictures of the fix along with this review in the hopes that it will save someone else some time. For illustrational purposes, I haven't tightened the screw all the way down in the photo, but before re-immersing it in water, I did tighten it securely against the washer.January 2015Please read through the other users' messages and responses; there is a ton of useful information there. The first one of them lasted around 21 months, however I did purchase another one in February 2016. See the third image, which contrasts the new one straight from the box with the worn original. The slots that the baffle cover tabs fit into progressively grow larger as a result of wear against them. Therefore, my initial washer method was only effective when the holes were just starting to wear. The effort to prevent the baffle plate from contacting and impeding the movement of the flapper, however, increased as the slots grew larger.Since I received the new one four months ago, the slots have not gotten any bigger. It still functions flawlessly. Hopefully the plastic used by the manufacturer is thicker or harder around the tab slots.I am aware that there are some skeptics, but I still believe it is worthwhile. I recently looked at a national pool supply website, and the Baracuda G3 is advertised at $280, while the name brand Kreepy Krauly is priced for $350. (I won't ever buy another Baracuda; those rubber "throats" wear out too rapidly; I just visited the same pool supply website; they sell for $52!!)June 2016

I'm ecstatic with my buy! My friend's pool technician suggested this one because I have a sizable in-ground pool (15 x 40). Since it states for above-ground pools, I had my doubts that it would work well on a Diamondbrite ordinary pool, but he insisted, and I'm pleased I did. I made a ton of savings, and it's fantastic. To get complete coverage, the hoses must be correctly adjusted, but this is true of any cleaner. It's not the cleaner's fault that I had to add weights to my hose in order for it to pass underneath the line connected to my in-wall dedicated cleaning port.My port is approximately a foot below the surface, which presents a challenge for the cleaning hose to go around, but I figured it out after playing with with the weights. The steps also caught it in one corner, but after a small modification, it stopped doing that. Also, I am entirely covered. To ensure complete coverage, make sure the hose is long enough but not too long, and adjust the system.Most people who complain about the aforementioned problems either don't know how to make these COMPULSORY modifications or have pools that aren't designed to use any of these cleaners.

I am aware that it is too soon to write a review, but I don't believe this product will let me down in the future. I just got the Zodiac Cyclonic Leaf Canister today, and I started using it right away. I've had other Zodiac products, and I think they make excellent stuff.Installation: Before I begin, let me say that I am reasonably handy and already use a Zodiac pool cleaner (Barracuda G3).Installation was really straightforward and easy. Activate the pool cleaner. To eliminate air, submerge the container. Screw on the twist lock adapters. attach the hoses. Which end goes to the cleaner and which end to the pool pump is shown on the canister's top. After connecting all tubing, turn on your pump.Building: It appears and feels sturdy. excellent workmanshipFit: I believe that the majority of pool hoses are the same size. If not, a plug adaptor must be used (included in the box)Does it work? Absolutely, it does. The majority of the leaves in the pool were caught by the canister after I ran it for around 15 minutes. Check out the images and video I've included.I'll add my findings to this review once a month. I'm hoping I can use this for a while. I'll also be discussing the Zodiac Barracuda G3 that I just bought.

First of all, the customer service is decent. They reached out and made an effort to find a resolution.I'm adding two more stars because the device is now operational, despite the fact that it occasionally gets stuck and misses a few areas.1. To address issue #1, I purchased a "1-1/2 in Plastic Double Slip Joint Connector" from Home Depot. Even if the seal is not extremely tight, it still functions.2. I used a lot more force than I was used to and was able to join the parts exactly as indicated on the product image. It now operates.It cleans reasonably well, however my pool pump has to run virtually at full speed. When I activate the booster skimmer pump, the pool cleaner moves and cleans considerably more quickly.Can't utilize it due to two problems:1. On the "universal adapter," the suction side's diameter is too tiny. not wide enough to cover the pipe in my skimmer.2. The extension pipes do not fit tightly onto the cleaning apparatus. Either the package contains an incomplete piece, or the design is flawed.In the event that these problems are not fixed, I will be returning the gadget.
If you have a pool, you know that keeping it clean can be a challenge. One of the most frustrating things is when you get fine dirt in your pool that seems impossible to remove. The good news is that there are a few things you can do to get rid of this dirt without having to use a vacuum. One of the easiest ways to remove fine dirt from your pool is to use a pool brush. This will help loosen up the dirt so that it can be easily removed with a skimmer. Another option is to use a pool net. This will also help to
Suction pool cleaners are designed to last for many years with proper maintenance. However, the average lifespan of a suction pool cleaner is around three to five years.
A pool should be vacuumed at least once a week to keep it clean.
Pool suction is very strong and can pose a serious threat to swimmers if they are not careful. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and keep your head above water at all times when swimming in a pool.
A robotic pool cleaner is definitely worth the investment! Not only do they clean your pool for you, but they also save you time and energy.
There are pros and cons to both suction and pressure pool cleaners. Suction cleaners are less expensive and easier to maintain, but they can get stuck on obstacles and don't work as well on stairs. Pressure cleaners are more expensive, but they are more powerful and can climb stairs more easily. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what works best for your pool.
