Can this be used on a above ground pool? We upgraded to a large pool, bigger than many in ground ones.

Probability not. It would work on the bottom but it needs a gradual curve from floor to sides in order to climb up the walls. Above ground pools usually have a sharp angle transition from floor to walls. I had my in ground pool built with rounded edges to accommodate the Polaris.

Not at all. As a matter of fact this system will clean a above ground pool 15 x 48 very well. I have a 15 x 48 and love this system. This system will clean this size pool, but any pool bigger than this needs a larger filter sysyem. Hope this helps. Sheri G.

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.

I use mine in a 10,000 gal above ground pool. it would work great. You can get the remote which is connected by a telephone cord, to turn it off an on.

Ours is used on our above ground pool. We have a 52 inch deep pool. I went down it once just to see what would happen at my weight of 165. I didn't hit bottom. I don't let the kids go down head first. I am not sure if it is rated for an above ground but it works for ours. The hose that they sent with it was not very good and we had to buy a new one that was larger and longer to fit to the filter.

Yes. We use it on an Intex above ground pool & it works fine. You will need to purchase pole & hose separately, since it does not come with vacuum head.

We have ours immersed in the 3 foot deep area of a commercial inground pool. I do not think they are designed for an above ground pool.

This unit is designed for In-ground pools, but there is no reason it can not work in above ground pools as well.

Yes. My pool is below ground level and it works fine, even around steps. Above ground pools are an issue because of the ladders.

Good question, as I had the same concern (most seemed to be for in ground pools). I have an above-ground pool and this works great in it.

Not if the bottom of the ladder is at the same height as the bottom of the pool. The ladder would have to sit on a deck where the deck was at the top of the pool. As it sits now, the top platform of the ladder is 2" above the top ring of my above ground pool, where one side of the ladder is in the water- it straddles the top of the pool.

If you have a deck at least three feet around the above ground pool, then yes it would work.

Don't believe so, it would have to be elevated above the lip of the above ground pool, and then the pool would have to be at least 4' deep. The restrictions on this slide pretty much recommend ONLY on pool decks. I have mine mounted on a floating raft that I can move to deep water.

No, theses pumps are for above-ground pools only and in-ground pools require a different type of pool pump. The pumps are designed differently, above-ground pumps sit below the water level where it is easier to move water through the pool plumbing. With in-ground pumps sitting above the water level, they are required to draw the water up from a lower level than the pump itself and then move the water through the pool plumbing. A in-ground pump could be used with above-ground pools but a above-ground pump can NOT be used with in-ground pools.

This is the above ground version and is a suction side device. Im not sure but I would guess that this could be if connected through your skimmer as it is made to do for the above ground pools.

I would honestly have to say no, the box stated for above ground pools. We do have ours roof mounted, but they can also be placed on the ground. We also only have 10,000 gallons of water and we have 2 panels. They do sell a similar ones specifically for in ground pools. Wish I could be more helpful....

I believe this product is intended for above ground pools only. The electric cord is about 20 - 25 feet long, so it may not be long enough for a deep pool.
