The robot goes on and only seems to shake all the dust that is at the bottom of the pool. Is there any technique I can apply so the bags work better

sounds a little as if the suction pump isn't running or even blocked, amazingly I have stones in my pool, birds drop them in. I should also add that if you've got heavy duty cleaning to do then the bags fill up pretty quickly, likewise algae just goes straight through as the mesh isn't fine enough.1. Check pump is running.2. Check inlet isn't blocked.3. Heavy duty or algae give manual vacuum.

This was a terrible bot, I returned it and bought a Dolphin. Twice the price but it's AWESOME!

I haven't had that problem. My only suggestion is to make sure there is plenty of suction, the bag is clean when you start and make sure the unit sinks all the way to the bottom and is level.

Hi, this is Steve from Aqua Products. This unit comes with both fine and mesh bags - at the beginning of the season any really dirty use the mesh and then go to fine. Thant should do it.

Francisco, Unfortunately it did a better job of sucking the money out of my pocket. Lasted less than a year. We have since gone back to Polaris.

Yes, make sure you are using the correct foot pads for your pool. As to adjustment, is this the suction adjustment (done with a suction gage at the connection in your pool) or adjustment on the vac itself? Did you check the actuator inside the vac that activates the pods? If this part is not properly seated or excessively worn, the pods will not respond to full capacity. Hope this helps.

1) Attach the weights that were included in the package to the hose as shown in the directions2) If the weights are on, try moving them closer to the cleaner head3) Reduce the vacuum pressure to the cleaner by turning down the flow to the cleaner. There's usually a set of valves by your pump and filter assembly. This should be the first step if your cleaner is making a very loud thumping noise! NOTE: It will always make some noise.Good Luck!

One time I looked at my sweeper bag and the dirt was all in the bottom. So I loosened it up. Also when I use attachments and the hose is not connected to the sweeper, dust comes out. So I just put a rag in it and it seemed to take care of that.

Same problem on my in ground plastered pool. Tried different weights on hose and used the swivel attachment. Tried different lengths of hose also. Nothing works.

My vacuum picked up everything, and it was using a hose that was much longer than 25'. I was so pleased with how well the bag worked at not letting little particles back through. You can always buy a brush to scrub the walls if you think they are starting to be slimy, but using enough chlorine is the best way to keep the water nice & clear. Also, run your pump as many hours as it says to for the amount of water in your pool. Then evaluate--do you need more chlorine or to run the pump more? Don't wait until you have a mess on your hands. Keep a critical eye on what is happening with your water, and use your test kit. My vacuum picked up everything, and it was using a hose that was much longer than 25'.

I connect the swivel end of pool hose to the vacuum then connect the non-swivel end of the pool hose to the skimmer. It works good except it's not heavy enough to roll high up the pool sides without floating up.

I LOVE my robot!!!!!!! I don't know the answer but, I don't know why not!!?? Good question and I must think about that!! I have just covered my pool because of the leaves & acorns. Good luck.

I am using it right now. I am using a brush to get everything loose and also using shock to get it started. Keep an eye on your generator to make sure that there is plenty of salt in your pool.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

Oh no, you must still run your pool pump. The rover only vacuums the bottom of the pool.

On the i-robot website they said that the solution must have a certain electrical conductivity to work correctly (water would not work). They suggested white vinegar and water as an alternative (provided its safte for you floors)

I have been reasonably satisfied with our Aquabot Jr. I picks up all kinds of dirt and debri (we just opened the Pool). It does climb walls and angled surfaces. My complaint is that its program doesn't move it around the pool as I have to reposition it on occasion.

I turned my vacuum hose around to blow the air into the pool or you might have to buy a small electric air pump they sell them on Amazon.

Jim, mine is on the vacuum line to the pool sweep. It gets anything on the bottom including bugs. The skimmer gets anything floating on the surface. Charlie K. Anaheim Ca.

This robot is not very good. Does not clean my whole pool(24 round). Not very happy.
