I'm looking for something that would help me to vacuum the dirt out of my pool without all of it going through my main filters. My pool uses a cartridge-type filter system as opposed to DE filters, so there is no backwash available - you have to completely remove the cartridge filters and hose them down. My main issue is not so much leaves as it is dirt. A local pool company suggested something like the Pentair leaf trap (see link):

Leaf Traps for Suction-Side Pool Cleaners

Is there anything better on the market for catching dirt?
 
Just use a polypropylene hair net inside the leaf canister if it has a hard plastic strainer. I use the smaller Hayward style leaf canister with the hard plastic strainer and a hairnet. It catches all of the leaves, sand, bugs, dirt, etc. Works like a charm and the best thing is that the hairnets cost $10 for a pack of 100 on Amazon.
