Pool Rover Plus Help!

Thanks for the reply - I'll try it in a different location (The missed spot was about the size of a newspaper). Do you use the pin location closest to the body of the unit or furthest away (more play or less play)?

I've had one for 4 years and I pull the wheel away from the unit and put the pin behind the wheel. It seems to not tangle the cord as much and works well in my 20 x 40 pool. If I am outside, I will switch the pin from one side to the other half way through the cycle.

I also set my timer just long enough for it to run the length of the pool. Once you have it set you don't have to mess with it again.

I also run mine for two cycles and it usually gets the whole pool. Sometimes it will miss the long edges but I can use my leaf pool to get it position to run tight against the 90 deg edge right before I take it out of the pool.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine....it was the best 500.00 I have ever spent!!

I have to say I just got my Pool Rover in and am running it now. Looks to be very promising....

SLS - If you set it to run the length of your 40' pool and it ends up going side to side, or a shorter distance before it hits a wall, doesn't it spend an extended time idle waiting for the cycle to change? (maybe I'm to anal about this thing - I did read some post that said if you watch these auto cleaners you'll go nuts!!

Yes... you absolutely want to allow enough time for length to length travel. The "idle time" is no big deal, it's still filtering and polishing the water even if it's not picking up debris.

Grab a cold one and relax.
