HaywardTracVac Lightweight Automatic Suction Vacuum Cleaner with Hose and Valve for In Ground Swimming Pool Maintenance, White

I didn't think my mid 30s would look like this, but I haven't been this excited for anything...anything...in a long time. Nonetheless, I made it through another week, and this bad boy finally arrived. Easy to set up, easy to use and works fantastic. Climbs high walls of diving pool. Like a child after opening their gifts on Christmas, I spent hours outside at 11pm with a flashlight, watching this vacuum maneuver around my pool like a prime Michael Phelps - but with tank treads! 10/10 would buy another just to show it to people how cool it is.

I thought I’d give it a try and found it to be working well it does climb the walls of the pool and it cleans the entire bottom and when it gets done cleaning I remove it from the pool due to the chlorine which it will slowly hurt the plastic gearing like the other sweeper I had before this one is pricey though we’ll have to wait and see in a couple of months to see if it doesn’t break down I’ll let everyone know on my update

I bought this and set it a few weeks later. I followed the instructions and got it set up and it worked like a champ for about 3-weeks. Then I noticed the tracks locked up, not spinning. It would not move.I took it out of the water and manually played with the tractor treads and finally it got unstuck and moved easily again. I hooked it back up and appeared to be working fine. I just assumed that maybe a small twig git in the gears and had jammed things up.Unfortunately the next day I see the treads are not moving again. I took it out of the water and spun the treads and it quickly came unlocked. Then I kept spinning the treads hoping to see if it locked up again. It did.It seems that at certain times the shaft that is connected to both sets of treads gets stuck when the shaft moves from the interior set of gears to the larger outside gear. Not all the time but enough times where I am not confident it will be able to clean the pool on a daily basis.Is there some screw that needs to be tightened or loosened. Please comment if you know how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Lo recomiendo al 100 por ciento excelente producto mi piscina está súper limpia

Cleaner feels sturdy and does not take up much storage space when not in use. Other reviews criticized that the cleaner would not upright itself as needed. I too had this issue, but I attributed this to the fact that the suction tube is a very good, thick,high quality tube, and that the weight of the tube dragging behind the cleaner appeared to me, to be the cause. The cleaner comes with only one clip on float block which is placed 12"-18" inches above the cleaner. I added a 3" length piece of pool noodle by splitting it and taping it around the suction hose at about it's mid-point. Ever since, the cleaner works flawlessly!

So far we really like the way this littlevac works, it covers everything. We saw ittrying to climb the 4th step, but the hosewas too short!

The pool has never been so clean! It also grips the wall well and will climb to the water line if set correctly.

I’m adding this part after 9 months of use. When it worked it worked great but after only 9 months of use some of the internal plastic parts broke and it’s impossible to get replacement parts to fix this so BOTTOM LINE I’m OUT $500.00 IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR. I WONT BY ANOTHER POOL CLEANER ON AMAZON AGAIN ONLY FROM A LOCAL POOL STORE WITH A MINIMUM OF 3-5 YEAR WARRANTY. BUYERS BEWARE!!!! At first I was not happy with this sweeper but after about 4 days of properly adjusting my pool pump settings everything works even better than hoped for and my pool is crystal clear each and everyday. Placing the floats in the correct spot on the first hose is crucial to keeping it upright always on its own. It’s important to have your pump on the highest settings but it is just as important to have the flow of your water through your whole pool on the correct settings for the sweeper to properly climb and clean the walls. If your sweeper does not climb the walls it is because your settings on your pool water is not correct especially if you have a spa connected to your pool. The set up is extremely easy and in no time at all you will have this going as soon as you get it out of the box. This a great and economical product in my humble opinion.
