Does anyone know if this is safe for an in-ground pool with a liner? I want the wheels - but all the liner vacs seem to have brushes.

I use it in mine. I think it is all suction. I don't recall any brushes, Why not go to a pool store and just look at the ones they have on display.

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.

Yes, I was worried about this also and was ready to order one but decided to wait. Glad I waited! The bag is small and I had to clean it out a lot when I first started my pool up from the winter slug. After that, I can vacuum the whole pool without stopping. Hope this helps.

That's how I have mine set up and it works great. I am a big fan for this vacuum. My pool has never been cleaner.

Pool vacuum heads with wheels are generally meant for painted or tiled concrete pools. They will not be as effective on a vinyl liner, and there may even be a chance of damage with the hard wheel edges.Vinyl pool vacuum heads ride on brushes which are meant to sweep off invisible debris stuck to the surface. These will do a much better job and won't do any damage.

The system that came with the pool has held up well, but it is not strong enough to pull the vacuum system. I have an self propelled crawler for cleaning the bottom.

It was specifically designed to work with a pool vac and the Skimmer skims the surface. Despite being listed as unsupported I have had success with my Barracuda G3. Although it took an adapter that i rigged up from supplies at local pool supply store. You could try shooting a message to the seller. They've been very responsive to any questions or problems. The best thing I did was to trim the trees around the pool which was providing my need for the SkimmerMotion.

Don't know, but it's heavy. Once you have to grab the handle, I find that I have to roll the wheels over the edge of the pool. That might mar your liner. Do you have tiles above your liner and/or edging that protrudes over edge of pool, that might keep the vac away from the liner. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I preferred to the iRobot Verro to the Mirra. Larger roller (compared to wheel) to "rub/scrub" pool. I don't see how water saltwater vs chlorine would make a difference.

yes, it's safe just don't leave it in the pool between cleanings, I'm only saying this because if the bristles are rusting like from the other comment it's most likely the chlorine is attacking the bristles from extended time in the water

No issues from me. This vac is great. I have had it fully under water at least 100 times. Disassembles easily for cleaning also. The fish don't mind it either, they come over to check it out while I'm using it.

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!

This vacuum is made for in ground plaster or fiberglass pools but you could use it on a vinyl pool,just be very careful not to tear your liner.I run a pool service in Florida and use this vac head several times a day,works very well for me.

Honestly, I don't know what kind of pool that is, but mine is an above ground with a vinyl liner and the Pool Rover Junior is cleaning it really well... It is very gentle when it goes from side of pool to the other, but I believe I would check with the manufacturer first...

Hi Linda, I've been pretty pleased with this pool cleaner so far. I don't get rocks in my pool, but I would think it shouldn't be a problem picking them up. The only issue I've had is, it will get hung on the main drain. I'm going to install a low profile drain when it gets warmer. I had a Polaris for years, which worked really well, but I got tired of replacing the expensive booster pumps.Hope this helps.

Good afternoon Susan, thank you for your enquiry regarding our Voyager Cleaner. The Voyager will work with the Vinyl liner however depending on how old your liner is we would not recommend to use the any suction pool cleaner in a vinyl liner older than 10 years as if the cleaner gets hooked on a certain spot of the pool the liner might tear. We would not take responsibility for the liner tearing, it is not the suction pool cleaners fault but the age of the vinyl liner. I hope this answers your question? Should you require more information please let us know? Kind regards Katja

Yes this tool can be used with an above ground pool. However, most above ground pools are round. If that is the case for the one you own, you may have issues getting sand and debris from near the edges of the pool. Using this tool in conjunction with a triangular shaped brush such as this one Blue Devil B5603C See-Thru Vinyl Carded Vacuum, 3-Pound would be more effective. Or just opt for a triangular vacuum head by itself.
