Has anyone tried this with a wrinkled pool liner? Ours is fairly wrinkled and I wonder if it will work.

Yes, it should work fine. The top piece (pictured) is what floats on the top and is propelled by the water pressure. The bag is connected to this piece by a hose and is pulled around the bottom. The only potential problem I see is if the "wrinkles" hold the debris it may not get picked up in the bag. The cool thing is the hose that connects the bag also provides a jet which displaces the debris and usually blasts it into the bag.I hope this helps.

The wrinkleing really does not matter . I have had 4 of these . The last 2 were not assembled correctly . The gears inside are designed to change the port direction so the unit will sweep across the pool in various directions . Because of the assembly problems the unit would wind itself up in a constant left or right turn and get stuck in a thight wound position . They work well when assembled correctly .Quality control ,not so good .

I purchased two of these and one of the turtles this year. I ended up returning them all - I had one that worked on the wrinkled pool liner for many years, and when they work they work great. Not sure if they changed the products, but each of the three bought this year just wrapped around the hose near the connector point on the wall. I even took a picture and sent it to the manufacturer who bluntly quit communicating with me - it was not hose memory as they would work for a day up to 5 days. I really wanted to get the top of the line model, or something that would work, but ended up having to look for a different cleaner (which gets delivered today). Good luck with your purchase!

Works well in our pool. We don't have any wrinkles on the bottom, but it uses water squirting from the Polaris to force loose debris into the attached bag. Great for leaves, hair, insects, etc. It will not lift or scrub any mold or algae from the pool.

It probably would because it blows the debris up to be caught in the bag. I don't have wrinkles but do have a couple sink holes and it still works well.

I can not say for sure since our vinyl is not wrinkled. What I can tell you is that it cleans very well. We have a dolphin commander before the Polaris and the Polaris wins hands down

I used it with that exact pool. It worked great. You set up the pool and let it fill. Then screw the braces on the side right above the pool ledge. Wait til it's full. Otherwise, the frame sinks a little and the braces aren't sitting on the ledge. I am using it with an INTEX 20ft X 52in and it works great with that, I just moved the braces.

Mine is on canvas, and since it came folded there are creases and wrinkles in it. I steamed the back of it and then used clamps to tighten it and get the wrinkles out. I plan on rolling it up to avoid the wrinkles in the future.

I hope you are talking about the fold lines and not wrinkles.If you use an iron it should be on very low setting. I also suggest using a spray bottle of water and after you spray the wrinkles hold the table cover on one side and tug the other side.Just remember heat can melt the fabric. The fabric is not paper. Thank you.......

I hung mine from just the top for a while and it worked fine, almost no wrinkles. It has to be a very straight and tight rope in order for it to work and remain wrinkle free, but I think it should be possible.

I sprayed with water (misted it) then ironed it. Most wrinkles came out and what did not, eventually came out from the steam of the shower. Good- luck

Yes, it will get wrinkled by nature of folding it up. It is also a thinner material which lends itself to wrinkle. I only used the black backdrop and there were definite wrinkles. I recommend steaming.

You have to cut a hole in the liner. I did not want to do that, so I sent it back. Looked like it would work good, if you don't mind the hole.

I did not have this problem. Mine lined up perfect with .the liner I used. Try another liner, if this does not work return the curtain.

I also have the shower curtain, which I love and I don't remember it being so wrinkled. I would give it time and eventually the wrinkles will go way from the steam when you take a shower. Plus, the fabric in that shower curtain has more of that wrinkled look which I think gives it that cool shabby chic gypsy look!! Hope that helps

I used vinyl pool repair kit make sure you apply adhesive to patch, both sides of vinly were smooth ours was under water so fold it upon itself until you reach the area to be patch then open and place patch.hold for a few seconds. still holding this year. PS I would put adhesive on rough side.

My pool is in Florida, so I have no idea how the vinyl liner would hold up under a lot of freezing temperatures. I would check out vinyl lifespans under extreme temperatures. As for maintenance. I have no deck around the pool and believe maintenance is easier without a deck. I believe kneeling down to scoop leaves off the bottom or surface is more stressful than standing. I do not plan on a deck for my pool.

We didn't....the floater needs to float. We had an issue where the floater broke and it ended up at the bottom, discoloring the liner.

Thank you! My pool cover rests on top of the water, so I'm not sure if the dispenser will still move. I keep the cover on except when using the pool. Perhaps it's okay to have it stationary for awhile. Thanks for taking your time to answer.

If you mean the long poles are stuck in the actual plastic pool liner, we sort of had the same issue. We just worked it through with a long screw driver and it seemed to loosen as it went along. The liner is pretty durable but we didn't jab at it either so no rips or tears in the process. Good luck.

Hello! Did you have any response or personal experience using avent pump with liners? I am in the same position and cant find an answer to that. Thanks a lot!
