Thanks so much for this review. Our pool is also a Doughboy = 12 by 24. So happy to see this type of cleaner works in the same pool that you have. Ours is going on 15 years, and still looks great, original liner and all. Replaced the pump/filter 3 years ago due to the bearings wearing out. New(er) pump is also a Haywood 1 HP with cartridge filter. Just purchased Wanda based on your review. Hopefully my manual vacuuming days will be limited soon.

I converted mine to work in an inground concrete pool. Basically you swap out the feet which are easy to find on the web. The only problem that I have with Wanda is trying to lift it out of the water. When it is full of water it is quite heavy and there is no place to grab it. If you grab it by the hose, the hose might come off. If you grab it on the bottom the black rubber ring will pop off although it is not too difficult to replace. If you grab it by the tail it will also come off. I got some water proof glue and glued her tail on. I now have a cheap cleaner that is essentially the same as the much more expensive inground model.

I just rcvd Wanda today and was so excited. However, when I got ready to hook her up, I found that her hose was way to big for my Summer Escapes vacuum adapter for the skimmer. Do you happen to know what size the hose is? Wondering if maybe I could find an adapter for the hose. The manual vacuum hose I was using before is too small for Wanda. I think the summer escapes is 1 1/4, but not really sure about that either. Thanks in advance if you are able to help!

I've got diver dan which is the same thing as Wanda and the ladybug ect ect. It did ok the first 2 seasons but in season 3 those cheap parts inside them start to fail at least in mine it did. If I'm gonna make it thru this season (4) I've got to replace the gear mechanism box. I have a feeling my experience is more the exception than the rule. Most non handy people can count on buying one of these every 5 years from anywhere from 150 to 190 bux. I do run mine a lot I admit. Still not so bad considering the others are so expensive.

Our previous pool was an Intex pool, we had a great couple of years with it but it was only the 10ft diameter pool and as our daughter grew we outgrew the pool. Our new pool is a doughboy 20ft x 12ft oval pool, we're running a Hayward filter/pump on the pool. The doughboy pools are much more rugged and made to last decades. We've been extremely happy with it.

How strong (in hp) does the filter need to be to run the vacuum? I am pretty sure I have it hooked up properly but there is almost no trace of suction at the end of the hose that is in the pool-or at the underside of the vacuum. My filter pump is only .54 so less that 1. (It is the pump that came with our pool.) Do you think my issue is the weak hp? What is the minimum needed to run the vacuum?

Hi We are new pool owners and have a intex salt water sand filter. Do you know how we would hook up Wanda to this system? I will call Intex if you don't know. The directions don't tell you how to hook up to the filter system and what the filter needs to be set on. I'm thinking that you would hook the hose to the outlet in the pool and then it goes through the filter. The filter has a filter basket. We don't have a skimmer on the system like you do. Any help would be appreciated.
@DoItYourselfDad
@DoItYourselfDad 8 жыл бұрын
You would need to find a way to hook the hose from Wanda to the intake side of your filter. I've seen adapters that Intex makes to adapt hoses to their intakes. Just make sure your filter has sufficient flow to operate Wanda, there should be a horsepower rating somewhere on your pump.

Now i'm forced to buy the attachment that collects leaves and dirt before it reaches the pump.

But when I walk away, he is ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS CLOGGED! I don’t understand? Why is he not able to get the leaves up and through the tube before clogging?

I wish they would trim it back some! If I had the means I would! The leaves disintegrated from last year (is what I’m told, but I closed it with no leaves), leaving a white almost powdery substance on the bottom of pool. Now Diver Dave can’t pick it up!

Hey Dad ! Grandad here. Nice video, especially the "deep sea" shot ! One question; will this vac get hung up on wrinkles on the bottom of the liner ? We had a "cousin Vinny" put up the pool & the bottom has a couple of raised wrinkles here & there. BTW, I had one of these back in the 90s & it worked great on a properly installed liner !

@@spitmahoney1153 Thanks! I think it would depend on the size (height) of the wrinkle.The bottom of this has about 1/4 inch of clearance.

@@DoItYourselfDad Okay, thanks. I'm hoping it'll just turn when it hits it, like if it hit the ladder. I had one of these back in the 80s/90s called AquaDroid. It worked great, but I had pro's sethe pool up. It did have a drain in the middle that the Droid would just carom off & go about it's way.
