how does an above ground automatic pool cleaner work??

Hugeez

Answer
Not well enough that you won't need to still remove leaves and other big items. I thought installing one would work. I even got one of those bottom cleaners, and still I have to have the pool guy come once every month!!! There is no real cure for the pool cleaner!!!!
Sorry, I thought you were talking about built in pools......

keeping a above ground pool clean?

christmas

Hi, about two weeks ago we purchased a above ground pool for my kids. It is a pain trying to keep it clean. I shocked it on Monday of this week & it is already turning green. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I keep the filter on during the day & turn it off at night. What do you buy & do to keep your above ground pool clean? Thanks

Answer
If its getting green that quickly you're probably not keeping enough chlorine in the water. Get a test kit and check the chlorine level daily until you know exactly how much you need to put in every day to keep it right. Or get an automatic chlorinator that feeds chlorine into the water whenever the pump is running.

what is the best above groung automatic pool cleaner?

chris j

what do u guys and gals think the best above ground AUTOMATIC pool cleaner is the best. i have a baracuda zippy now it did ok for a while now its just dead. please give me some SERIOUS answers. i know my kids can do it. im looking for some advice. thanks you in advance.

Answer
I do realize you said serious advice ... but I can't help myself. Actually I have a "spider" cleaner that I sometimes have used in my above ground pool - BUT ... in all seriousness - I now have a "pool boy" ... not the speedo kind - but a gentleman that comes weekly from my pool chemical supply place for a cost of only $35 weekly + chemicals. Money well spent! Just wanted to let you know to check into it because it is probably more affordable than you realize. The fellow brings chemicals and adds them as needed and that cost then is added to my charge ticket.

It is nice to not have to worry about time consuming (although relaxing) cleaning. It never gets out of hand due to weather or heat etc. All we have to do is come in from work & enjoy the water.

Good luck.

what is the best above ground pool automatic vacumn?

buddysher3

i have a 24 round pool what like some feedback on automatic cleaners there are so many choices

Answer
Have you tried doing the "sneaky" thing... call around to pool cleaners and ask them what equipment they use to clean the pools? If they have any recommendations for automatic vacuums? Trust me, as a house cleaner, if anyone calls me and asks for my advice as to what equipment I think is best, I wholeheartedly give them my recommendations.... both pro and con! I'm sure you can find some leads if you ask!

Good Luck!

does anyone know how to fix a robo Kleen above ground pool cleaner?

IBnkc

My Robo Kleen automatic above ground pool cleaner worked at first, then it began running a little forward and a little backwards then it stopped altogether?

Answer
Is this the one that runs on pool suction ? I had one that ran that way and it would clog up if leaves or debris got in it.

Asking price for a 27 foot above ground swimming pool?

Dain K

I have a 27 foot above ground swimming pool (3 years old) that I am trying to sell. It is in very good condition with a pump/filter, solar and winter covers, and accessories such stairs and automatic cleaner. The liner is fine now, but it may need to be replaced when torn down, but no idea. Is $1500 too much to ask? $1000? $500? I'm clueless on this.

Answer
Dain, i already answered your question on this with your other question when you referred to your pool as a 24 foot Round pool.

I gave it a second thought after posting, and seeing this message, IF you want to sell your pool, or get rid of it, you might want to post an ad for used pool equipment. A Pump/motor usually goes for 3-400 bucks, and the filter could be a few hundred more, but the equipment is used, so if you get someone to buy it for 500 dollars you should consider yourself lucky. Place an add for the equipment, and as a bonus they can have the pool for free. you might get a taker, But refer to my other message where i talked about liability. You don't want to be held responsible when the pool leaves your yard, so should something happen in 2 weeks, whether it is faultyequipment or improper installation, just make sure you dont get caught up in it.

It makes no sense to try and make a few bucks back on your pool that is 3 years old, and then by some string of bad luck, have someone come knocking on your door looking for damages because the ladder or steps failed and someone got injured. Sure it could be from the new owner installing equipment improperly, and you have no control over it, But is it really worth the hassle? Sell your used equipment, people will buy it. Especially now where people are going to have equipment failures and problems from the past winter, and dismantle your pool and put it on the side of the road, i guarantee someone will load it and take it away, even if there is no equipment.
