Add a booster Pump and run over Concrete?

[Pam and Jim]

Thank you for the reply.

I had tried an aquabot and had trouble with it either staying in the deep end or staying in the shallow end. It did not do a good job for me. I wanted to drop it in and come back to a clean pool. Maybe I am too picky.

I used to clean the pool once a week, last year I cleaned it twice a week- but every day after I cleaned the pool- I would have dirt on the bottom.
It wasn't sand, and was not slippery like an algae.

I want to try one and make sure it cleans before I settle on one.
If not- I would like try another until I find the one that works.
I guess we would all like that!!!

As you mentioned it could be expensive adding everything- and I may still have a dusty pool....

I thought about buying one all last year and I may end up doing the same this year, just keep thinking about it and clean the old way...

You could try this pressure side cleaner:

It does not require a booster pump and runs on less PSI than most non-booster cleaners.

I have the suction version which does a great job. Suction side cleaners are good for dirty/sanding pools that do not have too many leaves.

Pam & Jim, an L-shaped pool is one of the hardest for any auto pool cleaner to work in. If you want to, with only dust and dirt in your pool, you might consider the original "Pool Sweep." It is a booster-pump (pressure) style cleaner. It is still listed as available on the Pentair web-site, www.pentairpool.com. When they were made by Arneson, an over-the-deck kit was available, Pentair may also have one. It would probably have to ordered, but is a great cleaner (though now considered "old-fashioned").

Why not get a suction cleaner and stick the hose in the skimmer ? I had that set up for a year or so and it worked pretty good. When I had my pool replastered last summer I had a dedicated suction line plumbed under the cool deck.
