    Floating skimmer

    I believe the OP is asking about the "Pool Skim", a skimmer that hooks to your return, not a puck floater. I don't have one myself but I'm tempted to later this summer when my trees start dropping leaves. There are some on this site that have them & love them. I'll let them chime in, as like I...

    Aqua Critter Questions (skimmer basket and heater)

    My old Critter was 15 years old & getting tired. I replaced it with another this spring. I did buy a leaf canister this time & it works pretty good. It is good to use if your trying to pick up an abnormal amount of leaves & such. I only used it on initial cleaning & a couple times after. Usually...

    Pool cleaners and stairs?

    I've had an Aqua Critter for many years. The thing works great, but yes, I have to keep an eye on it as it once in a while finds the stairs & gets caught. Minor inconvenience to me. I still like the job it does cleaning.

    Help any Hayward critter/wanda/dan users

    I've had one for 15 years. Works great in my 24' round flat bottom pool. Just replaced it this year due to cracks in the hoses also. So I'm on the + side for recommending one. I actually like the segmented hoses. When I'm ready to use it, I hook the first section to the critter, I let it fill...

    Aqua bug - not working right

    My AquaCritter is over 10 years old. I've had mine apart a few times, including the gearbox. I've had pine needles get into the gearbox between the teeth of the gears stopping them from turning, along with a small rock or two over the years. I'm pretty comfortable with taking it apart, & has...

    16' AGP - Need Cleaner Recommendation

    I've had the Aquabug, aka "Aquacritter, Diver Dave, Wanda the Whale", for 10 plus years now in my 24' agp, & absolutely love it & have nothing negative to say, other than it'll get caught under the ladder once in a while. I haven't tried anything else, but for the money, they're a good value in...

    How do you stop your Creepy from getting stuck at stairs?

    I have suction side Aqua Critter. I can sit & watch for hours on the weekend or evening & he won't go near the stairs. As soon as I leave it unattended..guess where it goes? LOL

    Roll call: What cleaner do you use? Are you happy with it?

    Suction side Hayward Aquabug here. The little "Bugger" is going on 14 years old now & still works great. He's pretty faded from the shocks I've put him through over the years, & has helped on some nasty cleanups. I've had to disassemble a couple of times & clear out the stuck pine needles, &...

    Hayward AquaBug Question

    I've had an Aquabug for 10+ years now & it works well for me. My pool is a 24 round with a flat bottom. My neighbors have also used it in their 15x30 oval flat bottom pool as well with good results.

    My Hayward Pool Vac Ultra only turns left

    I have the Hayward Aquabug, & it is similar in that it makes 3 right turns, goes straight for about 10 feet, then makes 3 left turns, etc. Mine was doing the same exact thing. From outward appearances it looked clean. I took it apart down to the little gears that do the steering, & I had a pine...
