Automatic Pool Cleaner Intex

This is my second one of these, it does a fantastic job for my pool. only issue is being able to purchase a new hose instead of replacing the entire unit. Anyone know where to purchase just a replacement hose?

This item is horrible! Won’r even cover the whole pool area(above ground) stops in the middle and returns where it started. I have tried several things to get it to work correctly. Also it does not pick up sand or leaves . The only thing coming out of the catcher is sediment from build up. Truly a disappointmentUPDATE: we purchased a new pump and the vac moved around the way its supposed to for about 40 min. Then nothing. I pulled it out and checked the capture tray and there was hardly anything in it. These is plenty for it to pick up. I did a backwash and put it back in and it ran back and forth for about 10 min. I am over this piece of junk. TRASH

First, I gotta say I was very reluctant and very skeptical about this automatic cleaner. My 26' Coleman pool came with a 2500 GPH cartridge filter pump, and I was worried that it wouldn't have enough oomph to propel the cleaner around the pool. I hooked the thing up according to the instructions, and turned on the pump. This little bugger scooted around my pool with ease, and moved quickly!The description says it is for a 24' or smaller diameter pool, but I figured I could add a few feet of hose if I needed to. Well, once I hooked it up and let it go, I found that it easily covered the entire pool bottom with no issues whatsoever.This thing is a cleaning maniac! It took about 2 1/2 hours to completely sweep and clean the bottom of my pool, but it did an amazing job.I am very pleased with this cleaner, and would highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to spend all their time manually vacuuming and cleaning their pool bottom by hand.This cleaner hooks up to the pump DISCHARGE line, not the suction side. If your pump has enough discharge pressure, it will zip around your pool like nobody's business!I upgraded my pump to a 3000 GPH sand filter pump, and this thing works even better!

I bought this years ago and it does a good job at keeping debris of the bottom.

I initally reviewed this product after the first use and I did not know why there were so many negative reviews. Well, now I know. I waited the entire pool season (in NJ) before making a final judgement. This STINKS!!! It never picked up a particle after the first time I used it. The way it is designed, even a 3000gph pump does not provide enough power to move it back and forth across the pool. Don't waste your money. I could not change my stars but this is NOT EVEN ONE STAR. Total disappointment.First Review....This is not a toyIt is an automatic pool cleaner even though it looks like a toy. This is so great. It has changed the way I feel about having our above ground pool. Instead of having to constantly vacuum the pool manually, I can now go out in the morning, hook up the hose and flip the switch. It's that easy. I let it run for about four hours, it needs that long to thoroughly clean my 15' pool. This device was easy to connect and the instructions were easy to understand. If you have an above ground pool. Get it!!!I've read posts that it is not that durable. This is my first season using it so I can't really speak to that. For me, it's working great.

You get what you pay for, which in this case is not much. It picks up leaves, but it takes about 2 or 3 hours what you can pick up in about 10 minutes with your old fashioned net. It also rolls around the bottom a lot faster than I was expecting. That's not really a good thing, since it A) rolls right over leaves before it's had a chance to suck them up, and B) kicks up any fine sediment, flocculant, etc. without sucking it up, leaving your pool cloudy for the rest of the day.This would be ok if you already have a clean pool with a few leaves and some minor spots of dirt to run through, but by then you already have a fairly clean pool, and that kind of defeats the purpose of getting an auto pool cleaner in the first place, doesn't it? It's like having to spend 30 minutes washing dishes by hand so your subpar dishwasher can actually clean the dishes.If you're trying to save time and energy keeping your pool actually clean and good looking, you're going to have to resign yourself to the fact that you are going to need to spend more money on something that actually works as intended.

So I have a 15 foot pool intex a or c filter pump which pumps 1000 gph. Will not move. Wasted 3 hours trying to make work. Even would nudge it forward. Then it would go. But would stop . Waited for it to go the opposite way. No. Nudged. Would go.Stops. Wait for it to go. No. Had new filter. Even tried blocking one intake hole. Nope. No not stuck on seam. Hose cut to recommend length. Air completely removed from hose and device. Super bummed and frustrated.I found a solution. I first was looking to upgrade. But prices went up. $300 for a $130 pump. No way. I bought a utility 1/3 hp pump. Works awesome. This cruises along no problem. No more youtube videos on taping wheels or other stuff. Goes over seams and lots of bumps from an uneven bottom. Just use the utility pump with the vacuum and the pool pump does its own thing separately. Super happy now.
