Well, I didn't realize it's been a few years since I originally offered my opinion and I would like at this time to update on my experience with this cleaner. I have nothing but respect for it! It has needed nothing at all except 2 sweet of wheels (under 40$) in all the years I've had it. I have...

http://www.grainger.com/product/WATTS-Automatic-Vent-Valve-4A821 I have problem with my "The Pool Cleaner" auto vac sucking air at top and will order this and give it a whirl.

I too am looking at going with a Pentair swg with the controller and pool builder wants over a grand more than I can buy the parts for ( this includes a vs intelliflo pump). I am probably going to go with a 2 speed Pentair whisper flo, this seems the most cost effective. But yes, any other...

I recommend The Pool Cleaner suction vac- the zodiac products need over 75 dollars annually to keep them working and every few years a major expense comes up. The diaphragms fail regularly- the shoe a pad wear out seasonally (your mileage may vary) and zero support. The pool cleaner has larger...

I must say after 2 years I am more than satisfied with it. The only caveat I have is that it does climb the sides and sucks air sometimes-when this occurs it sounds like a demon trying to escape the pits of ****; or a zombie! It freaks my neighbors (and cats!) out :). It is not a big deal, just...

I do plan to use the full control box with the IC 40- ( I know a 20 will work but it's 25$ difference) so next question is that would this be ok. A 2 speed pump, with IC controller / IC 40 swg. My pump is working well, but it is starting to deteriorate from sun on my western side and rusting...

Hi TFT people:)! I have a 1hp whisper flo now and it's more than 7 years ago since installed. It runs 8 hrs daily 365 days a year here in south FL. I'm looking at going to a swg system at same time. My pool is 10k gallons. Electric rate is 12.5 cents per kW averaged over my bill. I like what...

http://www.nptpool.com/pool-finishes/stonescapes This is a product a pool builder quoted me for. I have a 15 yr. old GEM/Diamond brite finish that isn't that bad however I am ready to do something with the pool and love the pebble finishes. The pool builder in my area is A and G pools and they...

3 Month Update: I am very happy so far. I have adjusted the weights and found for my vac the first weight @ 15" up from the vac with 2nd weight stacked on top ( so the weights are touching and end @ 20") is what is working. I did remove the nubs from the wheels recently and when I adjust the...

I intend to review this cleaner several times at regular intervals. My history- bought my pool home in June '03, told my wife pick out any house she wanted within our budget with one condition, MAKE SURE IT HAS A POOL! I love swimming and never had a pool, so this was a big deal for me. we...

Yes, the Quattro is without a doubt garbage. I just returned home from my trip and the cleaner arrived. I am going to wait till tomorrow to set it up, will post my feedback as i use it.

Ordered the 2 wheel model "The Pool Cleaner"- we'll see how it does after a 2 or 3 months.

Hi All- i am new to this site; have been a pool owner on So.FL for 9+ years. I havee learned alot on my own and love my pool, use it often. One problem i have is I travel OFTEN! almost weekly, so i have to rely on my auto vac to keep it up, but in all fairness I am in a screened enclosure and it...
