Can this item be used on above ground pools safely? Meaning it won't tare the liner?

This rake is lightweight and plastic but the edges are semi sharp. I've already accidentally scraped my calf and I constantly scrape the wall of the pool and you can hear the scraping sound. I imagine it would not be good at for liner in your pool. Also, he protruding part that attaches to your pole just fell out of mine. The rivets are either missing or coming loose. We started using it late April and it's already broken. I'm sure my husband can rig something up for it to last a bit longer but now we will have to buy a new one long before this one should have broken. I'm VERY unhappy with this product.

It is all plastic and light weight. If you use it to scoop out leaves on the water surface it is fine. If you want to scoop out leaves from the bottom of a pool with a liner I think it would be safe if you are gentle and don't have any seams or ridges on the bottom. You could also sand the edges with black wet/dry #200 grit+ sandpaper to keep it smooth. I use it on and in ground pool and it does not mark the bottom, which is white plaster.

I use this product for 12 ft deep in ground pool and it works great, not sure about an above ground pool. This might depend on the material which the pool is made out of.

Yes it will work on above ground pools. However I suggest you do not buy this one. It only lasted three months and the light filled with water and failed.

I do not see any reason why you could not use it on the bottom. I will use this again for my next liner. I can see how it will make my liner last longer by keeping the liner off of the hot metal pool sides. If you use it be sure to get plenty of the glue. I did not realize it would take3 or 4 cans of glue. I hope this helps.

No, it is not for above ground pools. The slide is very heavy. However, if you have a very sturdy/permanent deck that surrounds the pool at the height of the top of the pool it would work once bolted to the deck.I wouldn't do it though, especially of the pool is smaller that 20ft. in diameter, the person sliding world and up crashing into the wall.

Definitely do not use on vinyl liner! This is ok for Gunite or concrete/cement pools.The bristles will put holes in a vinyl liner. Use a nylon bristle brush for vinyl liners.

I m not sure the brand of my above ground pool but it is a metal framed pool n the liner I bought worked great....I don't know if it matters the brand, what matters most I believe is the size ....just make sure u size it correctly so that u have enough liner to overlap the frame n so it ll fit right for it to go over the frame...mine sn 18ft pool n I bought an 18 foot liner and it fits over it perfectly. the gauge is also important as well, the higher the number the thicker the plastic and the better the liner will last .

this will work between any liner the magnates are fairly strong. I have two of them at each end of the 24x12 pool above ground pool they work great.

Scott, the Aquabot Jr. will indeed work in above ground pools. The secret is to only place enough cable in the pool to reach the other side. Note: Some units that climb have difficulty in above ground pools due to the steep angle.

Make sure the ground is level. Clear the area of any small rocks, sticks, or roots. We have used the provided tarp, sand, and old solar pool covers for under the pool, and all were fine. Very little else to worry about. The video is easier to follow than the printed instructions.

The Aquabot Jr is designed for in ground use, but yes it will work in above-ground pools. Only place the needed cable in the pool as excess will tangle.

I have a 16' X 4' round Intect soft side vinyl liner pool and use it for that. It works reasonably well; however, I found that since I have about an inch of sand under the pool's bottom as a cushion, footprints left from bathers make vacumming the bottom a bit tricky. The lumps left don't permit the head to glide smoothly across the bottom and multiple passes are needed at times to pick up the debris, etc. It would work well on a smooth bottom above ground pool.

I purchased one of these and am pleased with it... But isn't it designed for above ground pools?

I have a in-ground fiberglass pool that I use this pool sweep in...I have had it for about 3 months and it works soo much better than the more expensive pool sweep I had... It tends to gravitate to the deep end because it is made for a flat bottom above-ground pool, but that is small consolation considering how much cleaner my pool is now...I would not hesitate to use this in your pool...

I would not recommend this for anything except an above ground. An inground pool requires much more plumbing and the pressure has to travel a farther distance I do not think it would suffice.

Dogs will tear the liner in a regular above ground pool so i would certainly not trust an easy set pool to with stand more than a $5000 pool would, trust me had it happen

I can't respond to the specific brand of above ground pool - Intex - because we have a different brand of pool. Our pool is above ground, with rigid metal sides that are very sturdy - it was installed by a pool shop. The cleaner works very well in our pool.
