Is this unit portable? Does it have to be 'installed' to the pool decking? Renting a vacation house with a pool and wondering if we can use it there.

I don't have the Aquaguard. I got The Pool Protector. Haven't installed it yet but it appears to be portable. The manual instructions call for the unit to be mounted by a single screw to the deck surrounding the pool but, I suppose. you could secure it in any way you want. The problem is that the entire unit is not waterproof and if it gets knocked into the pool it may be damaged. So you will need to secure it somehow.Hope this helps.

Yes, it is portable. We kept our box and use it to transport to hotels. However, you have to confirm that the feet will reach the bathroom floor wherever you take it to. For this reason, we bought short bed risers to put under the feet.

As far as the unit itself, no reason it can't be used outside. The legs are not very strong but depending on where in the U.S. you live, don't see a problem.

I made mine portable by attaching to a 3 foot 1x1 board and clamp it to front or side or back of John boat,and fastened rod holder to top of pole.also works on my canoe by clamping 2x4 across canoe and stick over edge enough to clamp transducer pole and trolling motor,easy to adjust even works on rental at park and friends pontoon by to short board to clamp on deck.Will send pic if send email

It is portable in the way that you can use it in many room or take it with you when traveling. It does have a cord so it is not a good solution if you lose power. I think this would be best in an RV or maybe in a hotel. Hope this helps!

I rented a drill from a rental place and drilled holes in the coping and pool deck to install it. Worked great and we are very satisfied with it.

Yes, the parent unit is definitely portable. I take it with me to the backyard all the time!

This can be attached or mounted with screws to your deck or pool rail. This alarm system will come with instructions to mount this to your above ground pool.

This hoop is for a swimming pool and Yes you can use it on a deck, I've had mine for 4 years and it is great.

A portable Unit needs no installation it comes as is. You pour the liquid through the device.

No. Thats not what they meant by portable. It plugs into a standard AC outlet. They just meant you can carry it around from chair to chair.

Sorry, I haven't used it enough to find out. My experience is, however, that the portable AC's aren't efficient air conditioners, just a whole lot cheaper to purchase and install. If I needed and AC to be operating all or much of the time, I would probably buy the a permanent installation such as Mitsubishi and others sell.

It is portable because the unit can be carried on to different spots where the power 120V AC outlet is available like in the office, the house or car (with 120V AC output plug). You're right it needs a standard 120V AC (household outlet) to make it work. Unlike other portable stuffs like portable CD, DVD...they can use it's internal compartment with batteries (DC powered)

Not at all. You just lay it on the ground & put pool on top of it. It works great.

The unit is reasonably portable and can be removed and re-installed with relative ease. The tub surface and shape have to be such that the clamping mechanism functions properly. You say this would be a temporary solution for a vacation rental. Without knowing more of the circumstances, I do not feel comfortable lending a firm opinion either way. If YOU were taking it with you on vacation, I think you would find it handy. If you want to leave it for a random guest, I would have a little more reservation, because you need to be familiar with the device in order to use it properly.

Yes, and Yes. It is hard wired into the system and runs off of shore power. Unit shoule be off if you are running the trolling motor...unless you have a very long extension cord. :>)
