ANYONE TRIED A POOLVERGUNEN sp?

If you have a high main drain, you need to use the tires with the larger bump on them and that will prevent the cleaner from hanging up on the cover breaking the skirt. Did you ever try calling them about it? They are usually pretty responsive although now that Hayward owns them, it might have changed.


I have had the suction cleaner for going on 9 years without incident and I think it is a pretty good cleaner. BTW, I leave mine in my pool all the time too but it doesn't seem to have shortened the life much.

I just bought one this year and like it fine so far. I bought the 2-wheel suction-side model for my 27ft AG pool.

anyone know why they keep pushing the 4 wheel version beside price?

It has a longer hose for a bigger pool and the motion pattern is also for a bigger pool.

An easy way to determine if you need a 2 Wheel Suction PoolCleaner or a 4 Wheel Suction PoolCleaner is to imagine a 40 ft long pool. If the suction port or skimmer is half way (most newer pools) approx 20 ft from one end, then the 2 Wheel Model will be sufficient.
If however the suction port is all the way at one end AND you have a very deepend the 4 Wheel PoolCleaner would be better suited for your pool. The best way to describe it is that the 4 Wheel model can drag more hose.

Interesting! Wonder how it compares to a robotic? (excepting, of course, that a robotic brushes, and acts as a filter for the water as well.)

I'm not sure they push the 4-wheel version. Before I bought mine, we called them and they told me to go with the 2-wheel one for my pool.
