Answer
The only place I have seen this cleaner is on EBay. The seller claims it is made by Zodiac. It appears there is little if any difference between the G3 and Kontiki, except the color. Zodiac does not mention this model on their site but they do have a troubleshooting guide that discusses the G3. You may want to look at this guide to help determine if you can make some adjustments http://www.baracuda.com/tech_help.htm . The EBay seller also lists a 1 year warranty on this cleaner.

Above ground pool vac.?

Karen M

I have been looking at automatic above ground pool vacuums and i was wondering what one you would say to be the best. I have seen the Zodiac Baracuda Zoom and Ranger and they seem like good machines but i havent been able to find any reviews on either of them and for that hefty a price i would like to know what i am really getting. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
My mom's colleague has a Baracuda Zoom and she said its the best thing she ever bought...she just lets it go and wah-lah, your pool is CLEAN!!! I would recomend it to you.

My swimming pool "Kreepy Krauly" automatic cleaner doesn't work well...?

jagercrow

Just bought a house with a pool. Got everything under control except for the "Kreepy Krauly" in the pool. I can get it to work, however, 1.) It sometimes won't stay suctioned flat on the pool surface. The back end will start to lift up. Is that normal? 2.) It will usually work for 5-10 minutes and then just stop dead. I make sure the filter is completelty clean. Why would it just stop? 3.) It seems like it is very repetitive. It sometimes just goes over the same area it already cleaned. Isn't it suppose to be "random" and clean the pool in its entirety? I don't want to have to fork out for some pool guy to come out and really want to try and do this pool thing on my own. Any help would be appreciated!!

Answer
Either get it looked at/repaired, or get a new one. Yes, it should randomly move around the pool, but it sometimes goes over the same spot multiple times. Also, sort of random, those things creep me out :). I refuse to go near them in the pool.

what cleaning pads can i use to clean my swimming pool?

Answer
There aren't really any cleaning pads designed for swimming pool use. To clean your swimming pool, you need to have balanced pool chemicals and an automatic pool cleaner. You can also use a brush designed to scrub pool walls.
