Hayward AquaCritter Pool Cleaner FAQ:

• Will the Aqua Critter clean my dished out pool? Aqua Critter will clean above ground pools with a flat bottom and also with a deep center, or dished-out pool. The Aqua Critter won't clean a pool with a deep area on one end of the pool.
• How do I install the Aqua Critter to my pool? Just connect the hose sections, fill the hose with water and connect into your pool skimmer or suction inlet. Aqua Critter automatically starts to clean the pool.
• What is the difference between the Aqua Bug, Aqua Critter, Wanda the Whale and Diver Dave? The only difference is the outside face and color. All of these fine Hayward pool cleaners work the same, borrowing technology from the very popular PoolVac & Navigator in ground pool cleaners.
• What's included in the Aqua Critter box? 32 feet of hose will reach all areas of most pools. 30' round pools can add another hose section. Skimmer attachments, owners manual, 1 year limited warranty card, Installation DVD and the Aqua Critter head unit.
• Will my pump be powerful enough to power the Aqua Bug? - Most aboveground pumps are powerful enough to get the Aqua bug moving. Very small intex type Pump/Filter combinations of under 1000 gph (gallons per hour) may be too small.
