U S Pool Supply Triangular Connection Reviews Summary

Build Quality

Pros:

• "Better built than I thought, based on others reviews here and on other sites."
• "Inexpensive and feels well made."
• "This is made of very durable plastic and I expect to get a lot of use out of it before it needs to be replaced."
• "It appears to be built more solid than the run of the mill ones that have the plastic mounting hole breaks and the pin no longer keeps it together."

Cons:

• "Broke on arrival."
• "The vacuum head didn't even survive one pool cleaning."
• "Sad sand was everywhere in box when arrived opened it not realizing and got all over my floor. Plastic didnt seem very strong."
• "POS, sorry I bought it, very thin plastic lasted about 3 uses before the brushes broke off."
• "Developed large cracks with minimal careful/responsible use, in a short span of time."
• "Complete garbage."
• "It's just a cheap piece of garbage and I am buying a new one now."

Design & Maneuverability

Pros:

• "Other part I like is I can see thru it so I can see what and how its vacuuming."
• "Very maneuverable, gets in the corners with no problems."
• "Glides smoothly along the bottom with great suction to get the dirt from the bottom of the pool."
• "I like the triangle shape making it easier to maneuver the corners of the pool which are slanted."
• "The small triangular shape is really good for getting against the wall and around the ladder."
• "Design is awesome. It got here quickly! As we had one similarly designed, it was what we were looking for."
• "The triangle shape makes corners easy to clean."

Cons:

• "Didn’t realize when I bought this it doesn’t have wheels so you can’t push it along and vacuum."
• "it does not do a good job along the edges."
• "Personally if I were to do it again I would buy one with flexible edges."
• "I find this to be difficult to pull and push around the pool. I have since bought one with wheels on the bottom and am much happier with it."
• "Unfortunately this product is very difficult to use. It is so hard to push along the surface of the pool, it ended up snapping the plastic connector."
• "Virtually impossible to use without becoming stuck to the bottom of the pool."
• "This vacuum head is just about impossible to move around in my pool."

Suction & Cleaning Efficiency

Pros:

• "A good vacuum and hose makes pool maintenance so much easier. I was very impressed by this product and sorry that I didn't get it sooner."
• "It DID clear out all of the dust I have spent 3 months trying to rid the pool of."
• "Works better than the original one and a larger cleaning area."
• "This vacuum head is fantastic! So much better than the one that came with the pool."
• "This works really well, hose stays on, cleans well, like that I can see dirt getting sucked up— ensuring I have suction."
• "Has good suction."
• "Great brushes action and suction was awesome."

Cons:

• "Works ok, pops up all the time, have to constantly push to keep edges down even with good suction."
• "It doesn't have quite enough suction power to get leaves off the bottom of the pool though."
• "The brushes flattened and bent with the suction and it sucked down to the pool bottom."
• "The first couple of uses it worked great, but after two uses, three of the brushes fell out and the vacuum would stick to the bottom of the pool."
• "Now keeps getting stuck to bottom of pool by suction."
• "The problem is when I put the hose in the skimmer suction, the cleaning head sucks down on the pool bottom and will not move."
• "It doesn’t have good suction, the brushes barely scratches the bottom and it was not good for reaching around the round bottom."

Customer Service & Warranty

Pros:

• "Vendor stands behind product, accepted return and refunded brush."
• "US Pool Supply Customer Service is excellent."

Cons:

• "I contacted the seller (TCP Global Corp.) about this, and they refuse to refund or exchange as we're past their return policy."

Durability & Longevity

Pros:

• "Bought as a replacement for the same vacuum head style I’ve had for 22 years."
• "Based on the quality of this item and my initial use I have no reason to believe this won't be effective for many years."
• "I’m on my second one, replacing one that I purchased about three years ago."

Cons:

• "The brushes on this pool vacuum keep breaking."
• "Bristles wore out after a month."
• "After approx. 15-20 uses the plastic around the hose connection broke apart."
• "This only lasted 2 1/2 months. The top plastic that holds the pole broke off."
• "One of the weights is already rusting and I think I’ve used it twice for my tiny pool."
• "After 3 or 4 uses I noticed the bristles are becoming soft and bent over causing the vacuum head to become sucked to the liner of the pool."
• "Bristles bent after one use. Also, once the bristles are bent the unit sticks to the bottom of the pool and requires you to turn the pool pump off to free it."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "For the money and the usability this is the perfect buy for cleaning your pool."
• "This is much better than what I had been using. It covers a nice amount of ground and the price was cheaper than going to a pool store."
• "Worth the money."

Cons:

• "POS, sorry I bought it, very thin plastic lasted about 3 uses before the brushes broke off."
• "It's just a cheap piece of garbage and I am buying a new one now."
• "wasn’t worth $30."
• "I got to use this only once. Not a good bang for my buck."
• "I was very disappointed with the item because I didn't get all the parts that should go with it so I couldn't use it to clean my pool didn't know you had to buy everything to go with the sweeper."
• "This is made from very thin cheap plastic."
• "Don't waste your time and money."
