Automatic Pool Cleaner for Above-ground pool

[spunsilver]

Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it! I took your advice and bought the Polaris 65. I had read the reviews on it previously and it was one of the cleaners that I thought sounded good but since I'm a fairly new pool owner I wanted to check here. My pool is very close to the woods so we do get a lot of tree matter in the pool at times and especially closer to the end of the season. I'll try the cotton balls for the sand and see how my luck goes with that. How many cotton balls do you put in the bag?

I don't know. Just a handful. After you try it out a few times, let us know how you like it.

I've used it 3 times now and I do like it. It picks up a lot and the pool seems really clean when I'm done. It covers the entire pool and very rarely gets stuck at the steps and it's amazing how it works it's way out of a jam when the hoses get coiled up. I'm not sure that it's getting the really superfine stuff because after some time passes there are spots where dirt seems to have resettled on the pool floor. But all in all I'm pleased with it.
