Can it be used in shallow water?

i dont believe you can, it should say in the instructions but i wouldnt put it in water you can probably skim over the water and it would work. it has worked very well on dry land

I don't think you can. Bought this as a gift for grandchildren who have used it at the beach but mom said not in water.

I'm not sure, they're all different. Google it. I haven't had mine out yet.

No it really doesn't do well near water. It continually beeps when near the water so it's kinda annoying.

Definitely. I have only used it for saltwater but it would serve well in freshwater too.

I use mine strictly for freshwater, probably could be used for saltwater but I would not recommend it.

You can but water ruins electronics! I don't know that much about it was a gift for my Grandson! He loved it! It will climb all over!

I would add some type of screen to the pump intake valve, but yes it can be used in standing water. I believe it will float though.

I haven't tried it, but I believe it would work in water of depths around one to two feet. Sounds like a fun time. Let know who it works

Sorry, for the late response. I will confirm it will sit in shallow water however, not sure if the salt water be harsh on the outer mechanisms. Moreover, it's hard cast iron I would reach to Zoeller regarding the salt water which could destroy most things if exposed for long periods. I hope this helps but performance wise GREAT!!!

It might not work too well for shallow water since the debris needs to be captured in the bag. The bag needs to have sufficient clearance to expand as the water jet pushes the debris into it. If the surface of the water prevents the bag from expanding, the debris won't be captured and will just fall back down through the vacuum. I'm also not sure if it will work well with a sandy bottom. I use it to clean a small pool and it picks up leaves and small particles, but anything smaller than the mesh flows through.

You could use it but it would be very powerful, as I use it to circulate 6500 gallons of water. Also it can not be submerged in water. I hope this helps.

Yes, he would be able to walk with it on...I'm assuming you mean walking in shallow water.

I have not tried it, but it is sealed with o rings, so it should be water proof to a point. i'm sure it was not made to use under water.

I suppose you could, if you had the holes on the right angle...but I am not sure you have to-or would want to. It works well in soil and is also used in the sand...good luck

I would think so, Dana, as long as it were located out of direct sun; I'd worry about the water temperature in that case. Otherwise, it should work fine for your purpose.

Yes. I have used it in an in ground pool (was gunite) for a year or so, resurfaced to a PebbleSheen surface, and still use it.

We have only used ours in a pool. If there were few waves I suppose it would be ok however in rough waters I wouldn't advise it.

I am not sure. I think so , but I have only used it in coastal waters off Florida.

I'm not sure it will be able to go from the deep end to the shallow end. It's made more for flat bottom pools. Works great there.
