I use an automatic claeaner once a week, do I need to remove the solor fish before I put my auto vac in the pool?

I use a pool service and the solar fish is always in the pool and we have not had any problem. I don't know if the auto vac would be able to glide over the fish and suck it in; remember the fish is lying flat at the bottom of the pool.

I don't know if anyone has answered this for you or not. The treating you do to the water is to remove chlorine from it. Chlorine will not instantly kill your fish. I usually put in the dechlorinator after my tank is refilled. I put it directly into the fish tank. 2 years and I haven't had a problem yet :) I have a 30 gallon tank.

I don't have the Polaris vac, I have the Hayward. It didn't work well with the Hayward. It hardly grabbed the floating debris. But it probably has to do with the pump settings. We have an EcoStar inverter pump set at a medium speed to save energy and have it set for 8-hours a day because it's a salt water pool. I'm not sure if it would work on a regular pum set at a higher speed, it may go too fast to catch any debris also. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you want to try it and see if it works for you.

I leave mine in for an hour or two and then I get him out. I don't have a huge pool so that about as long as it needs. Im not sure how long is too long. I have had no problems with my little robot. Hes great!

Hi, in automatic mode about 2-1/2 hours. In c- mode. I let it run for about 3 hours, my pool is 18 x 33. When it slows down to a crawl speed , before the 3 hours is up, I take it out of the pool and clean the bag. Then put it back in the pool for the remainder of the time. The fine mesh bag picks up even the finest silt on the bottom. The only thing is you just have to mess around with the steering system pin location until it works best for your pool! Enjoy :)

We don't use an inline suction filter. What the PoolCleaner sucks up goes into the pump basket and we clean it from there. That's what its supposed to do and our pool always looks great.

I was trying to clean mine when I cracked the manifold. I'm going to say, since this is your first time. It will take all day, because when you take the filter apart to clean it. It isn't that easy to get back together. The first time I got it back together, it was letting the some of the DE get thru the filter, you could see it coming out the inlets in the pool. So I had to take it apart again and put it back together, that's when I cracked my manifold. Anyway I sent off for the new Hayward manifold and finally got it back together and it works fine. I would suggest that you go on line and watch a Utube video on how to clean your Hayward DE Filter. Good luck, hope this helps. I was trying to clean mine when I cracked the manifold.

it will suck it up, but when pulling the Vac out of the pool let it drain over the side as the filter does Not retain the algae, it will fall back into the pool.

It does need to be cleaned every week. The filter will get clogged with hair and food particles if you do not clean it regularly. Maybe it will start working again if you clean it. Also, it is important to never let the surface of the water get too low - if it does, the pump will stop working...permanently. The pump should always be submerged by about 1 inch of water. I try to top it off in the morning and the evening with water. It will start by making a louder than usual sound. If you are lucky enough to cover it with water in time, it will keep on working.

It's totally up to you. If you don't like spending time with a net hand cleaning, the skimmer does the surface cleaning and it picks up tiny gnats and pollen better then a net. I found I needed two different size hoses because, even though the adapters are the same size and fit the pool outtake port, the vacuum and skimmer hose connections to the adapters are different sizes.

No. My pool has an average amount of dirt at the bottom. I use it daily. And I only clean it weekly. My only complaint is that the cord tools around on itself.

I would not use an "automatic" pool cleaner. Get it out, or nearly all, "by hand." Otherwise you will ruin pumps.

all you have do is remove the clam shell off.. use clorex wipes on the blades.. and inside the clam shell to remove the dust.. too difficult to use vaccum cleaner.. .. I do it about every 2 months to keep it going.. it works great for me so far. Ok? oh by the way, I keep this fan in living room... not in garage.. hope this issues helps u guys to clean out..

Don't know if it is necessary to empty the water after each use, but it is a good practice. Water in a closed container can harbor bacteria. If you remove the cleaner the batteries are are not making contact with a source so you don't have to remove them. Hope this helps

It works well for me also. Our pool is 55,000 liters, Use approximately 3 chlorine tablets a week in the skimmers and auto fill. If you don't use your autofill, make sure you put tablets in it. Also, we have a sand filter, tough for the floatron to keep up if that needs to be changed.

Yes, use toothpaste (or any cleaner with pumice) to remove the protective film when you first get it. Then defogger before each dive.
