I just ordered an 18’ x 75’ x 52" vinyl lap pool. Can you please recommend an auto or robotic cleaner for my pool? Preferrably one that climbs walls if there is such a thing for an above ground vinyl pool. There will be little, if any, leaves going in but I do plan on letting my labs swim so dog hairs will be present. I understand that I may have to clean in 2 increments because of the length.
Hello Pat808 - Above ground pool cleaners do not climb the walls. You wouldn’t want a cleaner on the sides of an above ground pool because it could pull the liner off of the pool wall.
As long as the pool bottom is flat, the Aquabot Pool Rover Jr would be a great choice. This is a robotic cleaner. All you have to do is drop the cleaner into the water, plug it in and turn it on. Due to the length of your pool, you would have to clean one side and then move it down to the opposite end.
We do not have an above ground robotic cleaner with a brush. We do have a suction style cleaner with brushes. The model is the Kreepy Krauly Lil Shark model 360100. This type of cleaner would plug into the skimmer or vac port.
