Thanks again.
The Tanktrax is designed for vinyl pools but even the ones without the tractor tread on the wheels work fine in a vinyl pool. Whether it is less prone to hanging up I could not tell you since in my area the vast majority of pools are plaster and fiberglass except for above ground and above ground cleaners are different since they do not need to climb walls.
My concern would be the unit tipping over since it is a three wheel cleaner. The letro is a 4 wheel cleaner and might be more stable in that regard.
IT is a shame that Zodiac discontinued the Mars HP pressure cleaner. It's design would have been perfect for you but it has not been made in a few years (Since Zodiac bought Polaris).
