I was wondering if this is an actual vacuum and if it will clean the dirt in the pool?

The tool is not a vacuum itself. You attach the suction hose from the pool pump/filtering system to the top of the tool and that provides the suctioning power. I have found that this picks up everything that can fit through the hose and will get all loose dirt up. Just keep in mind that whatever is sucked up goes into the pool filtration system, so if the pool is really dirty you may have to clean the filtering system later.

It is an actual vacuum head that along with vac hose, extension pole and your elbow grease will clean debris from the pool. Be aware this product doesn't last very long. It uses very cheap material that probably should never come in contact with chlorinated water. I always rinse my pool tools with fresh water after use yet the metal parts rusted and the plastic disintegrated quickly. Since writing my review the plastic parts completely crumbled making any additional fixes impossible.

I don't use this anymore exceptwhen I have a handyman around. Now I use the auto vacuum cleaner like the Hayward TigerShark. Drop it in the pool and let it work. I brought it from the internet.

Hello Maynard. I bought the aquabot, but sent it back because it did not pickup the dirt like our current model. The model do have brushes. Regards eh

This vacuum does not rely upon the pump at all. It does not work using the pump, electricity or battery. It is attached to a regular garden hose and the pressure of the water is what pushes the debris into the bag. I love this product because of all these reasons. Also, with the help of a bag well known and made by Handy, who posted a great review on Amazon, it works much better. Need the instructions and pictures of how Handy made it I can send them to you. I think the pictures are now also posted on Amazon.

No it doesn't. The vacuum doesn't even move. We had to take it apart and swim to the bottom of the pool and manually do it with the hose. The vacuum does not work.

not really, it will pickup debris ( hair, leaves etc. from the bottom) you usually will need a sand and dirt filter pump for that, or keep cleaning and refilling the pool when too much sand and dirt accumulates in the bottom.

I net my pool before I place my vacuum in the pool I would suggest to try and remove all larger objects but this vacuum does a wonderful job totally love it !!!!!! Hope this helps.

I wouldn't try using this pool vac in an above ground. It's extremely heavy and large and will probably tear your liner. I have a concrete inground and I've noticed some chipping in my concrete which could've come from the vacuum, but not sure. Get a vacuum specially designed for above ground swimming pools. Good Luck!

Yes it will. It is not a "powerful filter" however it does it's job. My friend has one. Its very quiet. His only issue is that it takes a little longer to vacuum the pool due to suction issues. Other then that he says its worth the money

I have used mine for 2 years and have never experienced that problem. Have you checked to make sure the cloth filter doesn't need cleaning? I love mine, I never have to vac my pool. It was well worth the money. I would recommend this rover to anyone. I'm a widow, so it's just me to keep my pool clean. I have 4 grandkids that help mess it up...lol lol

Hi, this is Steve over at aqua Products. The Aquabot Jr. will clean, vacuum and scrub all pool floors, coves and partial wall. It will not clean up to the waterline. For water line scrubbing look at the Aquabot Classic or Aquabot Turbo Classic.

This is not a pressure cleaner. The poolcleaner acts as a vacuum. It connects to your intake valve inside your pool (either the pool skimmer, or intake valve located on the inside of your pool). The suction of the intake value powers the Poolcleaner, which moves in every direction on your pool floor, picking up leaves, and debris. As a pool cleaner, I highly recommend this product.

it's an excellent vacumn. I have owned two over the 14 years we've had the pool and it keeps my pool clean with very little work on my part other than putting it into the water. We don't have a lot of leaves however so my pool isn't inundated with falling leaves but it picks up most everything that sinks to the bottome and is definitely good picking up sand and light dirt.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up. Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

No it does not run the cleaner not enough horsepower. I had bought the pool rover he does a good job but does not scrub the bottom. I would recommend buying a cleaner with scrubber on it.

I think your question is a silly one! If you have a pool any vacuum will work! This will brush and suck up just like any vacuum. Maybe I don't understand the question!

It is a bottom dump. You just open the trap and release the debris. No filter cleaning unless you're super ambitious. I've used my vacuum quite a bit and just looked in the filter...it was very clean.
