I had a pool about 20 years ago above ground and I used a kreepy Krawly to do the cleaning, I have just installed a new 7.4x3.8 above ground pool and I have a S50 Robot cleaner. I upgraded the filet to the fine filet and got rid of the mesh filter but I find it doesn't clean the floor as in like scrub the floor after using a clarifier so I have to manually vacuum the floor. My question is would a suction type cleaner like the kreepy krawler or others suggestion welcomed, do a better job than these robot vaccums, being an above ground pool warranty on the liner can be void if i use any robot cleaner that can clean walls.

Welcome to TFP.
It is difficult to say how well a suction cleaner will work in a pool. It depends on the quality of the vacuum connection and the pump suction.

Sounds like you have used a floc type clarifier or just used alot and it needs to be manually vacuumed to waste.

Robots and other automatic cleaners are great for normal daily debris removal but it sounds like you’re struggling with algae cleanup which requires a different approach.
