    You could try this pressure side cleaner:

    www.thepoolcleaner.com

    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.
