Yep, i've got one, and whearas I dispute the "clean your pool in 5 minutes" claim, that doesn't change the fact that it works very good. I think I have mine set up on the second from highest downforce, but that's the only change I had to make. It works great. One swipe down the wall and you're done. Gets two thumbs up from me.

How much does it cost?
19.99 on Leslie's website is the best price I've found . . .

Just bought mine 3 days ago. LOVE IT. Just finished filling our new Diamond Brite plaster pool on Wednesday and was given a brush by the pool builder, and was told to brush brush brush. Used it Wednesday through Friday and thought there has got to be something better. Went to our local pool store and the Wall Whale was highly recommended. The pool builder has an employee taking care of the chems for the first 3 weeks. He was over and saw me using it and tried it and needless to say he will be buying the large version. They also make a conversion kit for existing brushes. I have mine set on the first setting giving the brush much down force to help brush off the plaster dust. Paid $21.99. The claim that it cleans a pool in 5 minutes is a joke, unless it is a very small pool. Where it excells is when brushing the walls. When I was brushing the walls I would lean out over the pool and push against the walls doing this was creating muscle strain. With the Wall Whale you just push straight down letting the downforce of the brush do all the work.

Alright! I NEED one of these!!!
I am SO tired of fighting my brush; my shoulder is killing me from all the scrubbing I've been doing.
I have never heard of this, but I'm thankful for this thread.
Thanks for the tip!
Stay with the forum

Was that comment really necessary??? For anyone brushing new plaster 2-3 times a day, this brush head can really save them some trouble . . .If you use the methods recommended here, the brush becomes a minor issue- but get the cool brush anyway- if mwsmith says it's good, it's gotta be

Re: Any experience with the Wall Whale brush?
I had been thinking about getting a wall whale before I saw this thread and after reading the reviews thought this sounds like just what I need. I didn't get the same results. Using it on the walls the transition from down stroke to up stroke takes too long and it just doesn't seem to have the pressure I was looking for.
I want a pool cleaner that will scrub everything and free me from this hellish chore. It sure wasn't the Dolphin diagnostic.

Where did you find the conversion kit for sale? I bought the whole unit at our local Leslie's, but they didn't know anything about the conversion kit. It really does work, and I would like to add the kit to my oversized brush.

So who has them online? I can't find one locally and they aren't on ebay, yet...
