Above Ground Pool Cleaner
This is my top pick for an above ground pool cleaner. I have owned above
ground pools for 30+ years. The first half of this time I spent with
the hand vacuum. Then I acquired one of the first editions of The Aqua
Bug. Over the following years I used many different types of automatic
pool cleaners but the bug has always been my favorite. This cleaner works
most effectively on flat bottom pools.Here is a word of warning about automatic
pool cleaners. I don't hand vacuum anymore, I let my cleaner clean the
pool. But I use it only once or twice a week and I supervise it with a
watchful eye. I love these things but if they run every time the filter
runs they will eat up your vinyl liner. Pool cleaners will always have a
place where they stay in one place for long periods of time. That's when
they do the damage. I just keep them in motion and when the pool is clean
the cleaner comes out. While the pool is getting cleaned I can get all my
yard work done. Or I can lay on an air mattress for an hour while my pool is
being cleaned. I have not had a hand vacuum for many years, I love my
automatic cleaner. But just like my children I never leave them
unattended.
For about a hundred and forty dollars you cannot beat this cleaner.
It has a Smart Drive system that really works. Not only does
it keep moving most of the time, it moves over different spots.
That's really the key to keeping a pool clean, not cleaning the same
spot twice while neglecting others. Click

I mentioned
above that I have used many different types of cleaners. That
was never because I was unhappy with my bug, I just got them for
free and tried them out. I always went back to my bug.
