View Larger. Baracuda G4 Pool Cleaner. Related Products. The Baracuda G4 connects easily with your pool pump. It does not require any kinds of special installations like booster pumps. It works very well even with low power pumps. It does not need any sort of power connection. It works as long as the pump runs — So in essence, it cleans the pool practically free of cost.
It is this part that comes into contact with pool surfaces and scrubs away all kinds of dirt, debris, algae, leaves, pebbles and so on.
The G4 can clean all types of surfaces, including tiles, concrete, fibreglass, vinyl and so on. You can also opt for an additional filter this is a paid accessory but it is worth its weight in gold. This gives it the ability to clean corners, steps and other tight spots. The disc does not get caught or stuck around drains, lights and other pool fixtures.

You have to get past the pros and the detractors and analyze the points that only talk about the product and the conditions that apply to your situation. Now you may say, well, look at all the poor reviews on the Barracuda G4 on Amazon.
I will give the reasons why I went beyond the customer reviews and bought the Baracuda G4, anyway. They produce several kinds of attractive automatic cleaners. The following review is about a discontinued model. Many parts are interchangeable between the G4 and the G3. I would not have qualms about purchasing the G3 after my experience with the G4.
Baracuda G4 randomly covers pool surfaces including sides to keep your pool free of settling dirt and grime build up. Will pick up debris such as leaves and twigs. Our G4 runs quiet. The old Kreepy Krawley had a rather noticeable clicking noise that was even loader for a swimmer. I consider this a plus. Sometimes I want my short swim serene and relaxing without removing the hose and unit. In the 2 years we have had this unit I have not seen it caught in a corner. Our Krauley would get caught in corners on our hanging thermometer and the drain at the bottom of the pool.
We have only witnessed the operation under RPM speed and we have not seen it caught up on anything. The Barracuda G4 operates with pumps that change to lower speeds. We have a new variable speed pump we want the in-ground pool cleaner to operate on. Changing the inlet valve directions down, helps the random operation of the cleaner. The new variable speed pump with Sun Touch controls is up and working. The Barracuda works fine in the lower speeds.
We have had it running 7 hours a day for two years at various speeds. The cleaner has a manual that is included and a Warrenty card for 2 years of normal wear and factory defects.
