40'x28' I/G L-shaped, vinyl liner pool, with an estimated 40,000 gallons of water.
Been using BBB for over a year! Excellent results!
LOL i guess we seem to be Newbs here..i hope my G4 works like everyone tells me it works.plus i live in south florida so there are lots of pool places down here but all had the unit from anywhere from 460.00 to 475.00 wow
so i went the ebay way just now is the waiting game
welcome to the group of Newbs..
I currently have the kreep krauly and it's "ok" kind of a pain actually. I have trees and so forth around my pool and one little twig the size of a pencil lead will stop it in its tracks. I'm getting and electric robotic type next year. They also say it can cost up to $3 per day to run the suction type cleaners due to pump demand.
I'm just not a fan of the suction cleaners. My pool also has lots of turns, seats, and steps and it gets stuck in corners. Good luck.
I have a G4. I bought it off ebay as well--it came from Florida. It was $340 (including shipping) and I sent in the $50 MIR. Saved over $175 from leslies, not counting the MIR.
It seems to do a decent job with my pool. I installed salt and then got this and then fired my pool guy. I add acid every other week or so--haven't had to vacuum it.
great price
Fired my pool guy after several hours of reading this forum and getting tired of paying for virtually nothing. The $340 I paid for the G4 will hopefully pay for itself in about 1.5 months!! Noworries, we must have bought from the same vendor!

I am here simply becaue i cant see myself paying anyone to clean my pool when i can do the same job better if i apply myself and get the knowledge needed
I just came from the local pool place chain called Pinch-a-penny and they had a bunch of G4's in the back of the shop
I was like What the FUDGE Not a good sign.
so i asked the kid working on them wasup with all these units are they that bad
he said no they after awhile get a bad diafram and needs replacing thats all other than that they dont come in for anything so if you get one remeber that it will go bad also in time
wow i was like good to know since i just bought one
Well just wanted to post my findings
How can a person tell if the diaphram is bad?
I bought a G4 at the beginning of summer and it worked great, climbed the walls and everything! Now, when i plug it in it loses power and quits operating.
Does this sound like a diaphram problem?
Thanks for any help!
