So far couldn't be happier. Great cleaner.

published

Bought this pool cleaner three weeks ago and so far am very happy with it. I previously had a kreepy krauley marathon and before that an orca predator, both would continually get stuck so thought I'd try a geared type cleaner. I haven't had to manually clean the pool at all since installing it other than sweep the stairs. It climbs the walls and even works works under the pool cover. I purchased the skimtrol vac plate as well, as recommended by the pool shop. I spent days reviewing pool cleaners before deciding on this one. Price, $510.00 for the cleaner and $65.00 for the plate and 3 year warranty made me go with this one. Time will tell I guess, but so far I couldn't be happier with it.

Rebel Pool Cleaner

Best pool cleaner ever, cleanest my pool has ever looked, have tried many others that get caught in corner or around steps but this dose not. Shop around found price varies from $600 to$900 got mine in Booval QLD.This cleaner is similar to The Pool Cleaner.

Questions & Answers

Mark A.asked

I recently bought my Rebel 2 Pool cleaner for my Pebble pool. The Rebel 2 Pool cleaner is having great difficulty climbing the walls, gets about 6 inches up and just floats back down. I had the pool shop do a call out, they dropped the float level down to about 6 inches up on the first small hose and dropped speed down.

This slightly helped. I was advised it was because of the new tyres especially because of the lugs on the tyres they are pushing the Rebel away from the sides. I was advised that as these wear down I should notice a difference in the climbing.
Is anyone else having this same problem ?

I have never had this problem, it sounds like the are talking rubbish to me, it should work straight away, I have a concrete pool (smooth surface) and it climbed the walls new and with worn tyres, I’m. Not sure how rough the pebble surface is but I suspect it’s just not getting the required suction

Hi Bryan, ty for the reply. I have used the device provided, with the Rebel 2 and it is at the maximum level for pressure. As to speaking rubbish I wish I could add a vid file of it on here. The lack of climbing and the drop away of the Rebel 2 was noted by the pool shop and their response was as I wrote. This was why I respectfully asked the question.

My rebel cleaner has worked good for two summers now but it seems to be "sleeping" more then ever. In a corner, half way up the side wall, it just stops and doesn't move. Once I manually move it back into the middle of the pool it will start working again but soon after goes to sleep again. Any help?

I have a 3 month old Pentair Rebel. It has been working fine until recently. It appears to primarily run in reverse. With the debris/suction opening Facing the rear and handle to the rear. Once it hits the wall, it will flip onto its top and stay there for a long time. Any suggestions?

Maybe take a video and take it back to shop if it’s only 3 months old, it’s still under warranty
