1. Does Pool Genie pool treatment actually work?
2. I need recommendations for an auto pool cleaner. I prefer not to
permanently install it as I am renting. I will take it with me to my
next house which I will buy with or install a pool.Here are my pool
details: I have a 18′x36′pool with stairs(3 steps), 1 skimmer, 2
ladders, 4 return jets, vinyl liner with no drain. The depth runs from
3′ to 8′. The piping is 1.5″ diameter to and from Hayward rapid rate
sand/rock/gravel filter and inline chlorinator. I would like to stay
around $500 or less IF POSSIBLE. I want the very best for the money
that will clean the whole pool including sides and that will pickup
leaves. I am planning to buy a leaf net also but no winter cover. I
live in deep southeastern Alabama. I want any pointers, do’s and
don’ts, pro and cons, personal stories, reasons for your choice, etc.
about the unit you recommend. I work 10-13 hours per day at night and
my online time is very limited. If you have questions I need to answer
to clarify your response I will answer them but it may take a couple
of days for me to get back to you. Thank you.

I don’t know about the pool genie. But we bought a Baracuda Z3
automatic cleaner. It does an ok job. There is a model more
expensive that might work faster. Cleans the walls, around the
stairs. The only problem is that the diaphragm (SP?) is too narrow to
accomodate acorns, so when they get stuck the thing stops working and
you have to take it out, re-prime and get the acorn out. A real pain
in the butt!! It cost about $350. I think you can get a leaf
attachement for it, which is what I’ll look into for next
season…good luck!
