Skooba Above Ground Pool Vacuum Cleaner - Automatic Pool Cleaner for Inground & Above Ground Pools - Powerful Suction for Leaves, Dirt & Debris - Perfect for Backyard, Garden & Outdoor Pool Maintenance

This unit was $36 and delivers what I was looking for in my 15' INTEX pool. I've finally vacuumed off my pool after a month of accumulated silt that the standard hose/bag vacuum couldn't pick up.1. The parts fit together just as instructed and are easy to handle... it's no more difficult than my filter, saltwater treatment unit, or surface skimmer.2. The quality is what I'd expect for $36 and consistent with the construction of parts for my pool, but shows no sign of being overly flimsy.3. The threads for the middle filter line attachment were a little touchy the first time I used it, but I worked through it and now it goes on easliy.4. You have to go slowly as the vacuum power is limited to the strength of your filter GPH rating... don't expect to use this like a Hoover on carpet, it's just not designed for that.5. I had to go through my pool twice the first time I used it... the filter just got too overloaded and not all the silt was caught up in the filter then blown back in the pool... which is not this unit's problem.6. The only real pain in the kiester is having to disconnect the hose in the pool, while maintining the hose underwater so it won't suck air into the operating filter, and lifting the front end filter/sucking unit out of the pool at the same time so all that particulate matter won't fall back into the pool... I'd suggest having whomever is actually using the pool on a regular basis there to hold down the hose underwater while you clean out the net/filter in the bag regularly through your vacuuming.On another note, I'd suggest that if there is a pretty visible amount of silt on the bottom of the pool, before you use this unit,1. Broom the bottom of your pool the day before you vacuum, so you aren't contending with trying to 'scrub' the bottom of the pool when you're vacuuming;2. Take your filter and hose it out;3. When you're done vacuuming your pool, repeat hosing out the filter as you now have a filter full of gunk from your pool.I also really appreciate the suggestion to
