We get lots of small pebbles in the pool. Does this work to get those out?

For me, it picks up very fine dirt, leaves, those darn spinner seeds but it won't pick up any pebbles. If they are very tiny it gets a few but not anything even close to the size of a pea. But those don't bother me as long as all the dirt around them goes away.

It's a great way to get a lot of leaves out of any pool, without using the filter. Perfect for opening the pool and finding lots of leaves. Not a good vacuum for little stuff and has minimal brushes, but super at getting impossible wet leaves out.

Depending on how high the water level is, it may be right on the water's surface or a little above. I don't remember having a problem with trapping dirt underneath. Usually it keeps the junk out of the pool.

Good question, as I had the same concern (most seemed to be for in ground pools). I have an above-ground pool and this works great in it.

It will pick it up, mine picked up a frog so im sure it will pick up pebbles, as far as it knocking more stuff it wont.

No. It purely moves water from skimmer through the filter and back into the pool.

Yes. I have used it in an in ground pool (was gunite) for a year or so, resurfaced to a PebbleSheen surface, and still use it.

Small rocks maybe? But just use the sand...one 70lb bag from Menards, a funnel and you're done! It stays in there and does not get in your pool even with the top caps off like they tell you to do. We love ours!

We don't seem to have a problem with not picking up small particles. I have read that if the Dolphin is not riding close to the bottom of the pool some people turn it upside down in the water to get air out. Others have said to use the filter bags because they catch smaller particles. Also, I read that the spring cartridges work better than the standard ones that come with the cleaner.

Absolutely! It's perfect. We wash off little kids when they get out of the pool, as well as pets. Works like a charm!

We have an in ground pool, and it hooks up where our pool vacuum hooks up. We love ours, so hope you can find a way to use one. It can not be used for leaves and large stuff. But it removes any small, float on top of the water stuff. Check Utube for more info on this product.

Hi Linda, I've been pretty pleased with this pool cleaner so far. I don't get rocks in my pool, but I would think it shouldn't be a problem picking them up. The only issue I've had is, it will get hung on the main drain. I'm going to install a low profile drain when it gets warmer. I had a Polaris for years, which worked really well, but I got tired of replacing the expensive booster pumps.Hope this helps.

Yea I agree with that previous answer, I was using it for my viquarium maintenance and it did take off the weaker hard water deposits but not the caked on stuff that you really wanna get out you know?

No. My pool has an average amount of dirt at the bottom. I use it daily. And I only clean it weekly. My only complaint is that the cord tools around on itself.

It cleans up all but the finest particles, such as cement dust from the decking. It will not pick up pebbles unless they are very porous.

it works with pump pressure. Attach it to where the water comes into the pool.
