Can you leave the aquabot junior in the pool for long periods of time.

This is Steve at Aqua Products, you can leave your cleaner in the pool, but we recommend you take it out and when possible rinse it off. The harsh chemicals can be of no benefit and the cleaner should always be removed when anyone is swimming

The longest I have left mine in is over night, knowing that I would use it again first thing in the morning. This is during a period of lots of blossoms falling from trees into the pool. I think it would be counterproductive to leave debris in the filter bag in the water for too long because it could cause algae.

Mine runs for about 2 and half hr. .some tone I restart it for another 2 hrs. I have found if I do it Every 2. Days it gets it dine in 2

It will clean for 4 hours and then turn off. The filter then needs to be cleaned out. Don't leave it in when swimming. I put it in pool daily or every other day. Does a great job. The only way I could keep my pool clean.

I leave mine in for two to as much as five hours at a time and have had no problems. There have been two times when I have basically forgotten to check on it and it has stopped running. I think my breaker trips on my outdoor outlet and I am not sure why. I have no trouble getting the Aquabot running again though. When I leave it for extended time I do check on it but do not feel the need to constantly watch it. We did leave it turned off for several hours when we needed to leave before the job was done but I would not leave it in overnight or anything. When "junior" finishes I always take him out, remove the "basket" and rinse "junior" down with fresh water before putting him away. I think that may help prolong his working parts.

I leave mine in for an hour or two and then I get him out. I don't have a huge pool so that about as long as it needs. Im not sure how long is too long. I have had no problems with my little robot. Hes great!

The owner's manual I have says to remove it after each cleaning cycle, which is about 4 hours. I suppose that it will last longer if one does that, since chlorine water causes everything it touches to deteriorate over time ....

Yes, to a certain extent. I go swimming with mine all the time, but they say you shouldn't exceed 30 minutes, and 1.5 meters. They're being very conservative, as I've gone longer and deeper with mine. Also to note, it takes about an hour for the mic and earpiece speaker to dry out before you can use it as a phone again.

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.

Hi This is Steve at aqua Products. The Aquabot Classic does not have a built in timer. It will run until it is shut off. For a similar unit with a timer try the Aquabot Turbo Classic

My Pool goes to almost 7 foot at one end and my robot does excellent. My pool guy who comes once a week is very impressed with my Aquabot 4x. I definitely think it would work fine in your pool. I am so impressed with this machine. Very effective and easy to use. KCFlorida

Yes, this robot scrubs the walls as it climbs up to the water line. I have a liner in my pool, and it keeps everything clean as long as I do my part of keeping the chemical levels right. I've been using my robot all summer and there is no way I could have kept my pool as clean as it is by just manually vaccuuming with that pole. I never use a regular pool vaccuum any more, just the robot a couple times a week. Also, if I have to add a lot of chemicals, and get powdery residue I will run the robot and it gets rid of that as well. The 9400 Sport robot is the single best investment I've ever made in my 13 years of pool ownership. Yes, this robot scrubs the walls as it climbs up to the water line.

Yes, the Aquabot loves to climb in fact it will on every pass. This unit is designed to clean and scrub up to the water line and on every 7th pass spend even more time on the water line.

There are electrical connections required to heat the water, but if you insulate them sufficiently against any moisture, there's no reason why you can't leave it outside. Caveat: the sun may cause the plastic to discolor and break down sooner than if the unit is stored indoors.

I would remove it when the kids are in the pool they could break the fittings if they crash into it.It is easily removed and reinstalled I do it all the time.you will be amazed how well it works!

I wouldn't recommend leaving it out for long periods of time, maybe no more then a week. If I know that the kids aren't going to be on it I'll roll it up right after they're done to keep from being lazy about doing it that works for me!

Well, I would put some chlorine tablets in the floating device. The chlorine tablets would dissolve in a couple of days. When the pool wasn't in use I would leave the round plastic container in the water. Keeping the water clean and free from slime in such a small pool posed no problem at all.

Yes you can use in a pool, when I do I open the battery case and let it dry out just to be safe after I dry it off.

This must be defective. I would send it back. I've had mine and used it for five months; having my pool cleaned daily. Never had anything wrong happen to it. I would send back and ask for another. I love my Aquabot!!!!!

I never did that but I don't see why not. The unit always needs to be submerged when it is running so as long as it can freely roam around the bottom and sides of the pool it should be fine. I love this thing so much I named him Tony and I am never cleaning my pool myself again. Tony does it!

Can it be done, I would say Yes. Should it be done, I would say NO for several reasons. First and foremost it would become an electrical hazard. Chlorinated water will deteriorate plastic and rubber over time. This being an electrical appliance is NOT designed to be left in the pool. Read the directions associated with the product on the website. Seriously - NEVER leave an electrical appliance in a pool unattended for long periods of time - Its a BAD practice that is easily avoided. Also NEVER swim in a pool with an electrical appliance in it. The life you save could be your own or your child or other loved one. Can it be done, I would say Yes.

I've read that if you remove the hose and leave it lay flat in the sun it will reprogram itself to a new path in the pool. It seemed to help when I did it.

Yes you can, just make sure when you put it in the pool it doesn't sit on the bottom, take the brush and swish around
