Now that I've got a real filter system for the 18' softsided Ultra via Waterway 1hp, 50sq.ft. filter, I'm almost happy. I'm happy until I need to waste the better part of an hour setting up, scrub-vacuuming by hand, then taking apart and putting all the vac equipment away. I only do it every 2 weeks because I hate doing this chore.
I'm ready to invest 1 or 2 hundred dollars in an autocleaner.

I keep reading all the wonderful reviews of the Kreepy Krauly 'Lil Shark for above ground pools, and just before I plunk money down for it, I see a warning at the bottom of the webpage which says, "Not for softsided, inflatable, or Intex style pools." Waaaa.

Because my Intex is curved between the floor and the wall, similar to an inground pool, am I supposed to use an auto cleaner designed for inground pools? What to do?
