Done with Manual Pool Cleaners!,
We’ve had our above ground 24′ round pool for going-on 3 summers now. We’ve used the vacuum attached to a pole until now. When my husband left on deployment he left detailed instructions on how to hook up the manual vacuum and it worked. The problem I had was that my arms weren’t strong enough to keep the vacuum on the bottom of the pool #with the pole extended# and so I could never get the entire floor clean.
Complaining to my neighbors #who have an in-ground pool and a service tech# he recommended the Polaris. Subsequently, the technician at our local pool supply store ALSO recommended it #even though they didn’t sell it#. I looked it up on several websites and did some price comparisons and finally decided to give it a try #Amazon Prime free shipping nudged me in the right direction#.
It took me 15 minutes to read the manual, assemble the few parts that didn’t come connected, and hook it up to the pool. Let me reiterate: I read the directions.
Dropped it in the pool and watched it for a few minutes, not actually seeing anything get “sucked up” like I did with the manual vacuum, so I walked away, keeping my fingers crossed that it was going to work.
An hour later I came out to find the floor of the pool spotless and it still humming away, gliding back and forth. Took me just a few more minutes to disconnect it, drain the water from the hoses, and put it away. I LOVE IT!
Just a few pointers that did NOT come with the directions:
The unit attaches to the OUTPUT of the filtration system. Use the LOW setting of the filter, otherwise the thing shoots across the pool like a submarine and the bag won’t set on the bottom of the pool.
Also, the store rep told me that the unit should be stored in its own plastic container FREE of debris like rocks, sand, grass and such. They use them at the store to clean the display pools and he said they’d throw them out of the pool, into the mulch, and once the debris gets into the unit it’s all but impossible to get it to work properly. Plastic storage unit at Target is a small price to pay to keep my Polaris happy!
