It states that you can leave it in the pool and schedule a cleaning time. Does this mean that the power supply is waterproof and leave for a 2 weeks?

The control unit sits by my electric outlet outdoors all season. I have left the vacuum in the pool for weeks on end as well.

No only the power cord is waterproof and the company states you should not leave the cleaner in the pool for extended periods of time. The scheduler can only schedule for one week maximum and then turns off. I returned mine due to poor performance. When you call for support they refer you to Dolphin.

Yes it actually needs to be fully submerged and is designed to work that way. If you are going to remove it for cleaning etc. you need to unplug it first. It should never be plugged in out of the water.

No, it really isn't water proof at all. We have a small kiddie pool about 6 inches deep that our dog gets in and when we open up the battery compartment it has a little bit of moisture in it. Personally I would look into another brand because we have sent ours back twice and they replaced it both times but we haven't even used it since we got it back the second time. It worked really well for about the first week

I usually have to run mine for a couple hours. But you have to keep an eye on the bag that needs changing. I have owned several pool cleaning machines, this one by far is the best.

Don't run it out of the water. Put it in the water, let it settle on the bottom, plug the cord into the base, turn the power on the base, and select large or small pool. It should take off within a few seconds.

Yes, I have not had a problem leaving it in the pool to take advantage of the automatic schedule feature. Just make sure it is pulled out to clean the machine more than once a week.

it gets dirty quickly. Very heavy. I threw mine away..I don't recommend buying it, although it does heat the pool nicely.

Facing the pump and near the bottom where the electrical wiring goes into the pump, there is a 3 postion switch. Slow / Off / High. The switch allows changes of the electrical AC voltage to the pump motor (internal wiring) which in turns changes the speed of the pump from low / off / high. Low speed asllows you leave the pump on 24/7 with mimimum power use. High speed can be used 24/7 also but is usually used for 6-8 hour durations. Depending on your pool size and how you want to use it. I use the high speed during heavy periods of use and after alot of rain. Also when and after adding chemicals (helps to disperse chemicals quickly). When not in use, I switch to slow speed.

J. This is Steve over at aqua Products. This unit does have a 2-3 hour timer and like all units it has a built in program that advances the cleaner back and forth about the pool. Note: The distance it travels forward and backward is affected by the small or large pool setting on the power supply. If you have further question please feel free to call us at 1-800-845-4856

you leave it on... as long as the pool cover is not on and the water is exposed you need it on so it doesnt get algae

No... It is not fresh water proof either. This is not A good product to have inside the pool. It says waterproof but it is not

Depends on how dirty the bottom of your pool is. We left out pool uncovered this past winter and had to Chang the bags every 15 minutes because there was so much debris. One the pool was clean, We just ran it thru a regular cycle. This is the second for ours and we love it. You can always know when it needs changing because it will slow down.

I imagine it depends on how much it got wet. All of the wiring is insulated pretty well. I would say as long as the AC power adapter doesn't get flooded it should be fine. Just be sure to plug it into a water tight exterior power receptacle. So long as it doesn't freeze outside u should be okay.

Hi, This is Steve over at Aqua Products. The answer is yes as this unit has a 50 ft. cable. Remember the power supply must be at least 12 ft. from the pool edge. It's always best to you measure the distance from the furthest point of the pool to the power supply. I hope this helps... Note: Only place enough cable in the pool that is needed to help prevent tangling.

I just plugged mine into the suction outlet in my pool and it works great. It did not need anything else.

If you look at the book it could mean a lot of things. I have found that if you change the mode to the top choice (standby) then go to either spa or pool service normally goes off. If that doesn't work it may not be getting enough pressure; clean the filter. If that doesn't work you have to follow the book.

I would only take it out when in the pool. I wouldn't leave it out for an extended period of time
