My question is about air. Does this suck in air that eventually damages the pump of the pool?

No air gets in at all. It is water coming out, not being pulled in. so it's impossible to get air.

i have been using mine for over a year now and it runs continuously. i have't had any problems at all. it works great.

No there is no suction going back into your jet. Its basically a jet that blows out of the bottom of the white bucket causing a whirlpool effect. Once the leaf or whatever gets trapped in the whirlpool it gets blown into the net on the side. So in short this is the same as a jet for your pool with a net.

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.

No. No air involved, just water. This thing attaches to an outlet. It does not affect what goes into the filter/pump.

No only water as this is attached to the outlet not the intake. We have ours since early spring and no problems. This works as advertised.

Once it's primed properly, water will start flowing immediately. If there's any air at all in the top of the filter assembly where the pump is, it will not pump, or there will be tons of air bubbles. It helps to rock the filter from side to side a little to help get the air out also. Hope this helps. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

I used an air pump but that pool wasn't worth the money it popped within 15 minutes. Send it back and invest more for the plastic pools either the paw or for larger dogs the bone.

we bought an electric pump at the pool store. It has been a couple of seasons now and it has held it's air.

Not really damage the pump, but the motor would be running continually until pressure shut it off. So like if it ran for 2 or 3 days it would probably burn the motor up, its not made for continuous running.

Truthfully, I find it slightly annoying in my above ground pool. I tend to have to put more pressure on the vacuum head to get it to work properly. However, it has been a great vacuum with the brushes all around. Sometimes I have to lift when the brushes tend to push away the debris to get it to be picked up.

The dual action pumps will expel air on both 'in' and 'out' strokes.If it does not, it is simply not that type (and shouldn't be advertised as such).

Well it all depends on how you set up your tank. The idea behind a air pump is to break the surface tension of the water. This is how oxygen gets in the water. The bubbles from the air pump actually don't add oxygen to the water till they pop on the surface. So to answer your question directly. You don't need a air pump if you put the circulation jut under the surface of the water and aim it so you can see the water surface rippling a bit. One other thing if your using a hang on the back filter and not a canister filter you don't even need the circulation pump. The whole idea is to just keep the surface water moving.

Kristy, Hi. Make sure that your filter is clean and that the hose is not taking in air. With the pump on put the hose to the outlet jet on the side of the pool to push the air and water through the hose making sure both ends remain under water, when all air is released, then have your husband or friend shuts down the pump, attach to wanda and the other end to skimmer without letting in air. You can also purchase a air flow for your filter if that doesn't work but this works great for us. She even goes up our walls and cleans. Hope this helps.

Hi, How we drained ours is there is a plug like thing on the bottom of the pool on the outside by your pump, we unscrewed it a little at a time to prevent the yard from flooding... Hope that helps, btw do not leave pool empty without taking it apart we made that mistake and the wind picked it up off the ground

Is it new? Is the line length sufficient? Is the tail line attached? The system seems to work on a pump that causes vacuum. This pump also propels it forward. There's a feature that causes it adjust positioning occasionally, so that it will reach the entire pool. What's it not doing properly?

Yes, that's how I blow it up. You need a rubber air tip to get it to seal on the stem of the pool but it's easy to do using an old inner tube stem or something similar. If you have an air blow tip, then a piecve or rubber hose on it will do too.

Yeah, just so long as the air pump stays dry. I don't see why it would hurt anything.

No it is not an air chamber, I put the pool on top of grass, but also when I layed the pool on cement, I placed a sheet on the bottom so the pool won't get any holes or scratch. If your concern about small children getting hurt if the pool gets placed on the floor, my suggestion is...it's better off on top of grass.

nope, it spits a bit if you over fill it. The pump has to be level when using it. It's great so far, but also it says to connect and disconnect the pump open to atmosphere so there may lye your problem

Hi, Well you can blow it up yourself, it is a lot to blow into. We used my husbands air compression or you can get a small air pump at a local walmarts. Just make sure the nozzle will fit into the plugs on the cool.I orignally thought the drain plug was the air for hole, thank goodness Hubby set me straight. You have 3 on the outside of the pool, one for each layer. The big one on the bottom is the drain plug, which our lab puppy tried pulling out before the pool was totally filled up ;-)Hope this helps, Eve loves the pool.

Wanda the Whale? I wonder if you are thinking that this is an AIR pump? This is a water pump that circulates the pool water and chemicals to help keep the pool clean. I am not familiar with Wanda, is it an inflatable pool toy or what? Sorry I couldn't be of more help...
