We have a 15-foot above-ground pool in the backyard, and keeping the floor clear of leaves and grit has turned into a weekend chore I would rather not spend my time on. I started looking at robotic pool cleaners since the season is coming up, but I am unsure whether they make sense for a pool this small. Some models seem built for in-ground pools with big price tags and long cleaning cycles, and I do not know if the cheaper above-ground units are worth it or just a hassle to empty and store. I am also curious how they handle a slightly uneven liner floor and whether the filters are easy to rinse out. If anyone here runs a cleaner in a smaller above-ground setup, what has worked for you and what would you avoid?

Keep the pool, especially if it is deep. It is great for storing waste and spent rods at the bottom of.Originally posted by N35t0r View PostI found the maintenance on the pool too much of a chore, so I built a small nuclear reactor in its place.
