Does this work under a solar cover?

I have never tried it but it should be no problem. But if you have a cover on the pool, it really shouldn't need cleaning.

I don't see why it wouldn't. Theres a chance the cord may pull against it as the bot makes its way across the pool if there isn't enough slack. But it should be manageable.

Yes I Have been using the aqua bot for about a month seems to get everything done

Unfortunately, I can't answer due to experiencing it running under a solar cover. Due to solar covers deteriorating so quickly here (OK), we stopped purchasing them. But the way that the Aquabot runs, there shouldn't be any problem with it being run while the cover is on.

It is working good for 1 and half years.I satisfied about this product.My popups cleaner is not covered every pool surface about 2%.But, this machine do it well.One problem is to fix twisted cable.

I have never tried that. My guess is that the cover would impede the progress.

Yes, I put mine on a window sill where sun comes in and it works just fine that way. Once charged full it will work indoors away from sun until the charge runs out. Great little device!

Yes. As long as you install it correctly. The panel is held in place by the fan. On another point, make sure the panel tracks full sun exposure from sun rise to sun set as there is no battery backup or ac DC converter.

Although I didn't, I do not know of a reason it would not work. My only concern might relate to the seal around the glass enclosure when it rains. I don't have to worry about that under the eaves, so I don't worry about the tightness.

The solar panel works well but only with direct exposure. You would have to clean the panel every so often to remove accumulated dust. Once installed, I would create a moisture barrier from your local hardware store since the rubber is not a waterproof fit. Although it will ventilate it just doesn't have the capacity to keep a med-suv car cool in the summer heat.

It does. I got it to install under a trellis shelter. The top is open so I had to put a makeshift cover over the top to keep rain out.

That's a good question. I THINK it works by either charging the connected device from its battery, or by charging the battery. There's an on/off switch that powers the USB connection. So that's a way to differentiate this from a true solar charger. With this you can charge and store, with a solar charger you have to leave the device connected to the solar charger and in the sun to charge.I could be wrong about that. I may ahve to test that the next sunny day.

Yes! I have it sitting in my office and it works great under the office lighting. It's not near the sun at all. I love it.

Bought 2 and both did not work under solar, I did notice when its charged 100% the solar light comes on

I am sure it can under cover as it definitely would NOT be waterproof. Otherwise very study and durable.

it should unless you have it raised up off the ground. in that case it would cover a little less. I use mine to create a tent to keep rabbits from eating my bean sprouts. the way I have the tent made the actual coverage is about 3'x20'.

No, the device floats on the top and is propelled by the tubes. The solar cover would inhibit movement.

Yes, I use it on my patio and under the eaves as well as inside. Works great!

Yes, if the solar area is completely covered by snow it would not charge. Of course, if there is that much snow why are you worried about underground pests?

We use ours with an 18 ft dia above ground pool and it works fine. The solar cover is 18 ft and when it is wound up the roll almost touches the water. I think with 33 ft of cover it may lay under the water, so you may have to lift one end to drain the collected water into the pool. It depends how far below the pool seat the water is. The rod is flexible but strong, so it should be able to handle 33ft.

The solar cover we have just rests on the water. It does a good job of helping to warm the water.

Unfortunately I haven't installed my solar panel yet. So I cannot answer this question.
