The Baracuda Ranger is the most affordable, dependable automatic pool cleaner you can buy. It will thoroughly clean your above ground pool - removing dirt, debris, bugs, twigs, leaves and even pebbles. It requires no extra plumbing and incurs no additional energy costs. You can install the Baracuda in minutes, no special tools or plumbing is required. The Baracuda cleans automatically, anytime your pump runs. The Baracuda has only one moving part (the diaphragm) and if it ever needs service, the patented "Easy Access System" lets you remove it, service it yourself and replace it, right at home. Other cleaners make an annoying flapper or hammer noise. The RANGER is built to work quickly, effectively and QUIETLY.
