how does it work on a big pool?

When it works at all, it works really well. (We have a 20-footer.) The problem we've experienced is that we've used three of these over the past 4 years. The last one didn't work at all, straight out of the box.

My pool has steps and a large deck or shallow area and the the Poolcleaner does not get stuck. It moves randomly and spins around on its own so it should work for you as well.

Also, I don't think it has been mentioned, but give this thing a couple HOURS to clean the whole pool. If you are just watching it work for 10 minutes... it might not consistently get from one end of the pool to the other. It works in a sort of pseudorandom way. Aside from what's already been posted, you may have a broken unit.

We have an in ground pool, and it hooks up where our pool vacuum hooks up. We love ours, so hope you can find a way to use one. It can not be used for leaves and large stuff. But it removes any small, float on top of the water stuff. Check Utube for more info on this product.

This pump works for you. You can keep it on the pool cover. When there is water over 1.25", the pump will automatically start to pump water out. Once water level lowers down to .25" the pump will stop.

I see no reason that a parallel system wouldn't work on a larger pool. And, right now Amazon has these for about $74.00 for the 15,000 gallon model. Intex 120V Krystal Clear Saltwater System CG-28669 with E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidation) for Above Ground Pools. No ozone, but you really don't need that. You can buy a gross of these for what pool stores want for one of their units. When the cell goes bad, throw the whole thing out and buy a new one. Remember, pool stores are trying to make a years wages in 4 months and need a very large markup.

This one works great for my pool. I think it would work great for any size pool!!

how do you make this work on a pool with poles that go through the liner holding it up?

it cleans on a random pattern, it does a great job at covering the whole pool floor. It successfully climbs & scrubs the walls. It does climb the stairs but it does not always clean them 100%. Overall, this is the best pool cleaner that I have ever used. I could not be happier with the purchase.

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

It does a good job getting most of it out, the depth I'm not sure. But once it starts breathing air use a pool brush and direct the water over to it, and push it down so the water collects over it. Doing this gets enough water off where you can just pull the tarp off with two people, preferably three though.

I have a vinyl pool and it works great on that. I also don't have the max amount of suction and it still works well for me. If the sides of my pool needed a lot of attention, then I don't know if I would be as happy with it. Only occasionally do I see it climbing the sides.

You hook it up to the side of the pool. The skimmer basket is not powerful enough to run it and you might ruin the basket.I have an above ground pool and I found that this cleaner would not work for me as it climbs right out of the pool. When it does this it breaks suction of course and can ruin your pool filter.Hope this helps.Judy

Yes it works fine in our above ground pool . In fact it works really well catches a lot more of the small stuff as well.

I've had the unit for a year now. It works far better than vacuuming and keeps the pool clean. Cut the pool man loose about 3 months ago.

I have been using it for over a year now, and it hasn't caused any damage! It does, though, tend to flip over very often. You just have to make sure it's on the right track every half an hour or so. Other than that, it does an amazing job! It definitely picks up a lot in just two hours, and it's really easy to put together. I recommend it for any type of pool. :)

Ragz, Let me start with the fact I have a 25000 gallon pool also and I use a Polaris 360 sweep on pressure side with out booster pump. I have set the Max speed to 2200 rpm. At 0730 in the morning the pump comes on at 1750 rpm and a auto valve opens to operate the sweep. It runs at this rate for 2 hours. At that time ,0930, the auto valve closes and the pump is then programed to run at 1250 rpm till 6:00 that evening, and then shuts off for the night. The only other change is for my solar heating which is handled by a auto solar control panel .if the pool water temp is lower then then solar heat set the pump will kick back up to 1600 rpm to circulate water through the solar panels. If the outside temp is hotter then the water temp it will extend the pump run time till air temp falls below pool temp. If you don't have the solar option by earlier suggestion works great for me. As a disclosure Im in northern California with out extreme low temps and hot summers
