VINGLI Pool Vacuum Above Ground Indoor Outdoor Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaner Sweep Sweeper with 33FT Hoses (Nave Blue)

My pool service guy recently retired, leaving me with full pool maintenance. Over the past month the heat has come on and algae started growing, along with general dirt & leaf accumulation at the bottom. I've been sweeping, backwashing, adjusting chemicals, vacuuming, etc., but I just haven't been able to keep up with the demands so far. I ordered this automatic vacuum in hopes that it would save me some time & effort.I just received it this afternoon and installed it. It took about an hour, including all the hose and valve optimizations. The vacuum itself is super easy to put together. But you do have to do some calibrations to ensure the hose length is right for your pool. If not, it can get stuck in corners with steps and transitions. Once I got the length correct, I left it running and went out for dinner. Upon my return, I was shocked to see my pool cleaner than it has been in the past month. Leaves gone. Accumulated dirt gone. Just a crystal clear pool and my new vacuum doing it's thing.I had a similar looking "Kreepy Krauly" vacuum about 10 to 15 years ago. That did a decent job, but it would always get stuck at the main bottom drain, due to the flapper getting caught. The flapper on this one has upward facing edges solving that problem. The included intake valve has an adjuster on it, so you can micro-optimize the suction after adjusting your pump valves. Everything was included making this a super easy install.I couldn't be happier with this purchase! Best $99 I ever spent, and just in time to enjoy my pool for the summer!

Bought this unit to use on my 10,000 gallon in ground pool. My pool has a main drain valve along with a skimmer valve.For starters, the elbow connectors and regulator assembly that go into your skimmer were too short to exit the skimmer. A trip to Home Depot solved the problem, see my photos so you’ll know exactly what you’ll.All air has to be out of the lines or your pump will lose its prime. Use the supplied weight(s) to prevent the vacuum from climbing too high on pool walls where it might catch air at the top of wall causing you to lose prime. I tinkered with the weight placement a lot to find the sweet spot.Next, it requires some tinkering with your pool valves to get it just right. If my main drain is fully closed, the suction is too strong and the vacuum gets stuck on occasion due to the strong suction. Keep playing with the valves to get the perfect mix. For me, it’s approx. 75% skimmer, 25% main drain.Lastly, this unit comes with 2 diaphragms, one of which is already installed in the unit, so no need to waste time figuring out how to open up the unit to install a diaphragm, it’s already there. Stash the spare diaphragm for use at a later date.Overall, this rig is solid and it gets the job done for me. It’s worth a a hundred bucks.
