how does this work in the pool?

I swim under water (one way) and back on top the length of an Olympic size pool for approximately an hour with the monitor on and have not had a problem.

I have used it in both a regularly chlorinated pool and a saline pool. Saline or salt water pools generate chlorine.

I keep mine in the pool 24/7. It works fine in the deep end (8 feet), but since my pool is enclosed I can't answer as to leaves, etc.

Hi, Chris from Polar USA here. As mentioned previously. It should work great in the pool! I have logged many many laps with mine. As another poster mentioned, the initial push off sometimes causes the transmitter to slip down. We find if we place the transmitter in our back, (upside down so the L/R sides of the transmitter are still on the L/R sides of your body) this reduces the drag and prevents that from happening. Please give us a ring if you have any questions. Chris @ Polar USAtwitter.com/chrispolarusa

I don't know. I removed it from my pool. It seemed to do nothing and my new pool man told me to remove it.

I don't co er my pool. But I see no reason why it couldn't. It sits on the bottom of the pool and moves around to clean it.

We bought one for our son about 2 months ago and have not had any problems with it to date. It's been in the pool and has worked perfect every time.

Give it time, it works great in a round pool, it will stop for a few seconds then it will continue it cycle, its like an old man its slow but gets the job done, this thing really works however just give it time to do its thing.

Add directly to pool with filter pump and submersible cleaner (if you have it) on first. It will disolve slowly as the water moves. Try to distribute it around the pool. I used this product for years and it does the job!!

As long as the pump has enough power to circulate the top of the pool water it will work fine. This is strictly a skimmer so it must have some form of top water movement. The blue part of the skimmer floats on the top of the water. When the pump is turned on it drops into the water just a smidge which is how the water is skimmed.Hope this helps

It will retain the air in a pool. Curious -- how would you use it in a pool? I would think you would float off it. Maybe use it with weights in a pool to hold you down?

it works off the return line from the filter. It uses the force of the water (coming from the filter and pump through the return line) to create a vortex that sucks debris into its filter bag. There is no way that it could possibly suck air into your pump so there is no reason to be concerned about that. I have used it for 2 full pool seasons and it works great.

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

I have never used it in the pool but it is pretty light. It seems that it would probably float. But like I said I have never tried it

It just floats, it is the exact size of the pool. The edges sort of tuck under the inflatable ring along the top.

Yes! It is amazing! We worked so hard getting our pool up, then it got punctured. This was the only product I could find that worked under water! It is fabulous!!

I have not tried this with swimming, I don't think it was meant to do that. I have used it to exercise - and it did get wet with sweat and still works, no issues
