5 out of 5 stars hayward aqua bug automatic cleaner.   July 2, 2008
rug lady (wv)
We have had the aquabug automatic cleaner for over 10 years and it still works and I would not have a pool without an automatic cleaner. It is a great time saver. It does not clean the sides of the pool, but will clean an above ground pool that has a dished out bottom like ours. I am getting a new cleaner, but only because the new one will clean the sides. We thought that the aquabug was a great investment and at its original cost of 100.00 10 years ago we did not go wrong.


2 out of 5 stars So cute but not worth the trouble   May 16, 2008

We got this little Aquabug last summer towards the end of the season and used it only a few times before we experienced leaks in our new liner. It was a hard pill to swallow but we had to face the facts. When the bug stalled in certain places around the pool, it was not just cleaning the liner; its hard plastic edges had dug into it causing small holes and massive water loss. Calls to Hayward customer service provided little assistance so we decided to soften up the bottom edges of the bug by sanding them lightly and it seemed to work because we had no further problems with leaks. Update to this summer, we placed the bug in the water, its forth cleaning cycle, and it no longer moves. As I say, it is cute but it does not work. Next.


4 out of 5 stars Does a really nice job   April 4, 2008

I was really surprised at how well this vaccuum worked. I let it alone for about 4 hours the first time around. What a great job it did on the floor. Unfortunatly it doesn't clean the walls or stairs (that would merit 5 stars) but I knew that going in. It soooo nice to just drop this in the water and go do other things while this cleans my pool.

I've only had it 1 season so far so I can't comment on longevity yet.

My Aqua Bug does a great job. The only problem I see is that it is slow, you really need to keep your filter clean as a dirty filter slows it down. As far as it causing a hole as another reviewer reported, I don't think it was the Aqua Bug, I see nothing at all on mine that could cause a hole.

Last year I bought this vacuum and used it on a weely basis to clean my pool all summer long it did a very nice job of cleaning.after the summer ended my liner had a leak in it the pool is only 5 years old all the other summers used a manual vacumm which is a lot of work but never had a problem with the pool leaking I had to replace the liner a $[...] job needless to say I went back to manual vacuuming. Might be coincidence I am just paranoid to ever use it again I am selling it
