Is this safe for an above ground pool with a vinyl liner or will it wear out my vinyl?

The Robotic Inground Cleaners should not be used for Above Ground Swimming Pools.  The vibration that is caused by the cleaners climbing the walls causes too much strain on the swimming pool walls and can damage the pool.  I would suggest the Pool Rover Jr.http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07800005031460.htm. This cleaner does not climb up the pool walls, but does the same job as the other AquaBot cleaners on the pool floor.  These cleaners are made for vinyl pools.

I have use a typhoon cleaner for over 20 years in my 20x40 Lazy L vinyl swimming pool. I am finally looking for a replacement as replacement parts are becoming harder to locate. What is the least expense Aquabot pool cleaner that will climb walls and do the job?

Hi, Joe. The Aquabot Classic - NE350 or this Aquabot Turbo - NE352  are the top two units I will recommend.

I am looking for a cleaner for a Viking ceramic/fiberglass inground 16x36 pool, 17000 gal. Deep end is in the center, shallow at both ends. It has built in steps, love seat, and a child safety ledge all along both long sides, rectangular shape. . I would probably use it once or twice a week. Which would you recommend, preferably one that does not need me to get a home loan to purchase?

If you are in the market for a robotic cleaner, the Aqua Products Apex Revive 2.0 Robotic Cleaner is economical and has many features that would be great for your pool. http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07800005081613.htm

Hi Douglas, I personally like the Pentair 830 Prowler Cleaner I'm not aware that any of the cleaners learn your pool but I believe most have pre-programmed patterns that are designed to be as efficient as possible.
