Help with pool vacuum

[Stephen882]

I have a 33’ round AGP. Roughly 26,000gal I do not like the vacuum that came with the pool so in the market for a new one. Don’t know if I want suction vs pressure. Any help would be appreciated

Why not a robot? Pump powered vacuums are 1970's technology. Lots of our members with above ground pools have robots.

Which robot do you recommend that wouldn’t break the bank. I don’t know anything about them. Thanks

Dolphin has a model for above ground. Has a shorter power cord so be aware with your large pool.
@kimkats has a robot in her above ground pool.

My pool is the same size as yours. I LOVE my robot Lil' Kim! Here is my write up about it:

Pool Rover Junior review-aka Lil Kim

I just got my robot in! SO excited! It is cat approved: Here it is out of the box: It was very well packed. Here is it as it got started. It had already made one pass over the main drain: Here it is after working for 30 mins: Here is the second bag cleaning. It got up some very fine...

Do you have a link to it or what is the make and model of the robot.

I have a 24' round and use a suction side Kreepy Krauly EZ-Vac. We love it and our pool is always spotless. Also added a Jett-Flo and it increased our circulation by 10x. Below are links to each.

Here is a link to Amazon. I don't know if this is the best price. It is just the first link I found: Amazon.com : Aquabot APRVJR Pool Rover Junior Robotic Above-Ground Pool Cleaner, Color May Vary : Swimming Pool Cleaning Tools : Garden & Outdoor

Just finished reading reviews onpool rover junior and apparently the newer model is not as reliable as the older model. Bunch of people saying they had their 1st model for years before it quit but the newer model has already messed up. Going to do so more reading.

That is a shame BUT I wonder if that is why the company I got mine from no longer carries it???? I will have to ping them and ask!
