Auto Pool Cleaners - Comments on Good, Bad and Ugly

[Geoff2005]

Hi People,
My second Kleva Kleena is about dead (they have lasted about 5 years each) and while it does a reasonable job at about $ 800 to replace I was wondering if anyone is using other types and are happy with performance.

Hi there Geoff,

I've had my pool cleaner since we got the pool, some 10 odd years ago.

Does a marvellous job. Gets in all the little corners, really leaves the pool looking good.

However I have encounted a few minor problems with the pool cleaner after all these years.

1. It has a slight tendancy to be a little slow to get going some days. In fact on the odd occassion it hasn't started up at all.

2. It's kinda, just a tad exspensive to operate because it needs to be constantly lubricated up.

I still remember the day that I was contemplating getting a pool. The kids eargerly volunteered to do the cleaning of the pool every day! as they begged and pleaded for a pool........

Yeh, right we kept that going for the first 3 days........................I been cleaning the damn thing by hand ever since..............I think I was had............:doh:

I guess it's lucky the Kleeva Kleena doesn't need lube :rolleyes:
