My EVO seems to clean my pool just fine, but I wanted to try the finer filter basket, just to see how it works.
I got the extra finer basket yesterday, I thought I'd run a quick test.
I had already run the standard basket the day before, so the pool did not appear dirty, but I ran a clean standard basket again for one floor and walls cycle.. And here is a pic of the results...

Then, I installed the finer filter basket and ran it.. I expected it to capture some additional debris, but I was wrong.. Here is what it picked up...

Basically "mud"!!!
Keep in mind that none of this was visible before I ran the EVO and I had no clue it was there. That was last night.. I plan to clean the finer basket and run it again today and see what it missed.
For those that don't already know, there are three 'grid' patterns printed on the side of the filter. There is also a small arrow that indicates how fine the filter is.. The more grid boxes, the finer the filter. My standard filter has 4 grid boxes, my new filter basket has 16 boxes.

Not sure if this means that I should use the finer filter all the time, or use the standard filter most of the time, and use the finer filter once in a while or ??? I plan to run some more tests and see what makes the most sense for me..
If I had to decide today, then I'd want both filters.
Thanks,
