Product Description

SELF-ADJUSTING TURBINE VANES: All the POOLCLEANER™ cleaners have the patented self-adjusting turbines, which maximizes the power from the water flow. This turbine is similar to a paddle wheel with blades that are adjustable. This feature allows the POOLCLEANER™ to still move at low suction and low pressure. In addition, the folding vanes of the turbine allow for the easy passage of larger debris through the cleaner. STEERING SYSTEM: The 2x Suction POOLCLEANER™ has an internal programmed steering system that causes the left wheel to periodically reverse, allowing the POOLCLEANER™ to turn and then move in another direction. For the 2x Suction POOLCLEANER™, there are five different programmed turns ranging from 90 to 450 degrees. This feature allows the POOLCLEANER™ to cover not only the deep end, but also the shallow end. The POOLCLEANER™ has no problem with uneven surfaces or strange shapes. It won't stick in a corner or get hung up by a main drain. ROBUST TIRE TREADS: One look and you will see that the patented tire treads give the POOLCLEANER™ better climbing ability and ostacle maneuverability. The tires come with tread wear markers that show you when to replace your tires. The front tires of the POOLCLEANER™ have humps (raised treads) that allow the POOLCLEANER™ to overcome any reasonable obstacles such as the main drain and uneven surfaces. This makes the POOLCLEANER™ ideal for all pool surfaces and shapes. ADJUSTABLE SKIRT: The POOLCLEANER™ has patented adjustable skirts that allow the cleaner to maintain optimal suction under the machine even when it encounters obstacles. When the POOLCLEANER™ encounters an obstacle, one (or more) of the skirts will lift up (adjust) over the obstacle while maintaining suction under the cleaner.

49 customers mention22 positive27 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the suction of the pool vacuum. Some mention that it has tons of suction, and the adjustment for suction was easy.

"...Even my pool guy was amazed at what a great job it did.Powerful suction!..." Read more

43 customers mention7 positive36 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the mobility of the pool vacuum. They mention that it doesn't move hardly at all, it will not move except at pump speeds of 3400 rpm, the wheels would not move, and it stalls and does not move until the debris is cleared.

"...Gotta be a good thing, right? Wrong! Our first unit failed to move when the pump timer turned the pump on...." Read more

WORKS LIKE A CHARM!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

Wow! Run, don't walk, to get this pool cleaner. After 30 years of buying expensive pool cleaners and seeing them do nothing, get stuck, or not clean well, I finally found this one. I've paid $700 and up for other pool cleaners and this one is the best yet at a reasonable price.
Works like a charm, cleans great, even pics up whole pecans that fall into the pool from the neighbor's tree.
Even my pool guy was amazed at what a great job it did.
Powerful suction! Climbs right up the pool walls, makes a horrible sound sucking in air, then drops back into the pool and down to the bottom. My dogs love it too....keeps then entertained when it tries to climb out of the pool.
Had to add a couple hose pieces as my pool is 32 feet long and it was short about 6 feet.
I bought this in June 2017 and it's never slowed down, stopped working, lost pieces, or broken in any way. It's a little workhorse that covers the entire pool from deep to shallow end, all the walls, and the pool is spotless!
Love this thing!

UPDATE: Four years later and it’s still working great! The only thing I’ve done is replace the blue treads each year as they get worn out after running every day all year. Simply peel off the old ones and slide on the new ones. Easy! They are quite cheap as well.
I have replaced the hoses once in 4 years due to the hot sun here in So Cal. But that has nothing to do with the vacuum itself. Other than that, I love this guy!

UPDATE #2: After 5 years of running daily for at least 6-8 hours a day, my little guy decided to retire. I got back on Amazon and ordered the exact same one. Set it up in no time, and it’s working great, just like my first one. For the price, I think 5 years of running 365 days a year makes this pool cleaner a great investment. My pool is always spotless and I it just keeps going. I hope to have another years with this guy!

UPDATE #3: Well, the second one stopped working in less than year. Tried everything to bring it back to life to no avail.
So, after researching and reading reviews I decided to buy the Hayward W32025ADC PoolVac XL Suction Pool Cleaner for In-Ground Gunite Pools here on Amazon. Great price and easy setup. This guy is fast, climbs walks, but not steps, and cleans great. Better than my previous guy!

Poolvergnugen with Variable Speed Pump

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

My pool is approximately 20,000 gallons. It is under screen, and has a pebble tec finish. I have a variable speed pump. I have been without an automatic pool cleaner for years at this location. I either brushed or vacuumed manually, or let the pool get dirty. When I got a new variable speed pump, I also had the vacuum line connected, and bought this pool cleaner.

With the screen, I don't get a tremendous amount of debris in the pool, but some pine needles make it in, and there are several plants inside the screen that contribute leaves and other litter.

Two things about this product might surprise you: (1) You need to adjust the water flow to achieve the recommended wheel RPM on the unit. and (2) They recommend that you NOT coil up the hose when not in use, which means you will probably have to disconnect the many segments, and put it back together when you want to use it again. They sell a wall-mounted holder where you can store the cleaner and the hose segments. I've been leaving the cleaner connected all the time. I just turn off the suction and park it in a corner when we swim.

The hose segments fit tightly. If you don't get them fully connected, it might suck air, which is bad. I found that once you have them all connected and in the water, if you will tighten them again once the suction is on, the suction will help you pull them tighter. I omitted one of the supplied hose segments, and still had enough hose to cover my pool.

I found that to get the recommended RPM I had to divert most of the suction from the pump to the vacuum, with only a small flow from the skimmer, plus operate the pump near its top speed. However, I have found that the Pool Cleaner continues to do a reasonable job roaming the pool and cleaning with the pump set on the "economy" low speed. Even though the wheel RPM is then much less than the recommended speed, the cleaner is still working. I plan to leave the pump set on low speed, and only manually select a higher speed maybe once a week for an hour.

I do NOT see any sign of this cleaner being able to climb walls, or climb onto the steps as some have reported. I have tested with various float positions, and at high suction from the pump, and it just doesn't do it. I attribute this to the Pebble Tec finish, which is going to give a less strong suction against the bottom and sides of the pool than if the surface was smooth. However, I see very little need for wall climbing. The dirt in my pool is on the bottom. This thing does a great job getting dirt and debris from the bottom. It roams the entire pool, frequently venturing up into the shallow end. I had some debris in a tight corner near the steps. I doubted the cleaner could ever get into that corner to clean it. I happened to be watching when it went into that corner. It spun around right in the corner, and sucked it all up. Great!

I am not using the flow regulator that came with the unit. I use my existing 3-way valves to control the suction. I've turned the main drain off, figuring that the cleaner is now sucking up dirt from the bottom. I am not using any extra filters or debris bags. The larger debris ends up in the pump strainer. The first couple of weeks I have seen a lot of sand in my main filter, proving that this thing is getting a lot of fine dirt out of my pool.

The pool looks great. I would buy this again.

Update after 18 months: The cleaner has been completely trouble-free for many months. It recently started shedding blue shreds from the tires, so maybe it's time for new tires.

Zodiac G3 Convert

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

So I have been using a Zodiac G3 for over 6 years. While I really liked the simplicity of the design it's two major flaws were getting stuck in a corner by my pool steps and locking up on thicker debris, e.g. leaves, twigs, etc. Recently, my unit had a fracture in the housing that rendered it unusable. I decided to see what else was on the market. After looking around I landed on "The Pool Cleaner". My pool is PebbleTec and goes from 9 feet deep at it's deepest to 4 feet on the shallow end. Setup and calibration was very simple. This thing rocks. Not only does it pick up thicker debris the G3 wouldn't but it never gets stuck due to the occasional random rotation cycle it goes through. We had a pretty good windstorm that blew in a lot of debris that the G3 would have locked up on. This thing handled it fine. It does not climb up my walls though. I tried tweaking the suction and throttle chokes but it just can't seem to make the transition from the pool floor up the wall, though it tries valiantly. I think it may be an issue due to the PebbleTec finish but I don't really worry about it. 90% of the dirt drops to the floor. It's a small trade-off to not have to deal with your cleaner clawing away in a corner for hours and/or sitting on the pool floor because it got something caught in the diaphragm. I really do like the G3 and if you have the right pool layout, it's a great way to go, but in my case I am now a convert to "The Pool Cleaner"
