Apart from a bottom drain hole, there are no other holes on the pool. Everything is done through the single unit. Don't get me wrong....apart from the dust/algae issue on the floor the unit works really well. Due to the small 0.75hp motor I'm actually hooking it up to be solar powered since the...

Re: Poolblaster Thanks for your highly valued help JB. Very much appreciated. My pump / filter is an integral all-in-one combined unit which hangs off the pool wall. It uses a paper element cartridge type filter. The BIG issue with this is that it has a skimmer on the side, and a second water...

Re: Smart Pool Nitro SmartKleen Universal Review I can't upgrade the filter.....it's part of an integral 'wall-hung' pump/filter unit. The problem with these units is that they have a skimmer, and they have another intake on the base...but this is only 2ft below the waterline. the dead stuff...

Re: Need help identifying my CANISTER / CARTRIDGE FILTER It's just like the attachment I posted.

Need help identifying my CANISTER / CARTRIDGE FILTER Hi ALL.......I Need help! I have a combination 'wall hung' filter/1hp pump unit for my small 5000 gallon fun pool. It uses a paper element canister type filter. My problem is that the filter is damaged (by that I mean the paper elements...

Re: The Kleen Machine [Split by moderator - Split from topic HERE to keep your story together. jblizzle] I'll try again with the same question as nobody so far has been able to answer............ How good are ROBOTISED POOL CLEANERS at VERY fine dust-like particles......dead algae for...

Re: Smart Pool Nitro SmartKleen Universal Review [Split by moderator - Split from topic HERE to keep your story together. jblizzle] Out of desperation I downloaded a 'Micron Particle Size' chart to see exactly what a 2 micron bag would catch....here are some of the results.... Beach...

Re: Poolblaster Thanks for the response. I live in the tropics (Palawan, Philippines) and my garden is FULL or lush vegetation (hardly a bare patch of soil to be seen) so it's unlikely to be 'dust' (the soil here is red/brown and is never dry enough). I get sand from the beach blown in (even...

[Split by moderator - Split from old topic HERE to keep your story together. jblizzle] In my POOLBLASTER MAX I tried ladies stockings (my wife was curious how her 'supply' seemed to be diminishing) to pick up fine dust/dead algae....but they were no better than the standard bags (fine...

If anyone can help......my biggest problem is with very fine sand and dead algae (which is as fine as talcum powder). I've tried a poolblaster max.....useless! Can you tell me if the filter bags in robotic cleaners are fine enough to stop the sand and algae from just being re-cycled back into...

Yes I put the fine 'sand and silt' bag inside the standard one.........my dead algae went straight through. There was almost NOTHING actually trapped inside the fine bag when I opened it up to check. However I'm going to try using the ladies heavy guage stockings as suggested by others and see...

How good are these at VERY fine dust-like particles......dead algae for example. Mine pool suffers from this 'talcum-powder fine' stuff which is almost impossible to shift and goes straight through the bag on my boolblaster max.

I'm thinking of buying a larger super-fine vacuum bag (like they have in the newer type automatic robot cleaners which filter down to a few microns) and cutting it up and re-stitching to fit the poolblaster max. This may be a cheapish way of getting several bags out of 1 larger one. If it works...

I bought a Poolblaster Max and took it home to my small kidney shaped pool....charged it up....connected everything, complete with the extra-fine filter bag that came with it and tried it. I had LOTS of dead algae forming powder-fine dust on the floor of my pool. (Simply walking close to this...

...Costco sold out.....AGAIN! You'd think someone in their ordering department would realise with such a popular product to order more! Loosing all hope of ever getting one of these now. Any alternatives out there in the same weight and price range?

Thanks for the opinions guys. I appreciate your input.

Thanks for the info.......I'm a bit concerned about most of the reviews. Seem to suggest it's more of a toy than a tool.

Is the Smart pool kleen machine still available anywhere? It's ultra light weight and compact size is ideal for my 5000gallon fun pool.

I have a very small kidney shaped pool, 20ft x 14ft, flat bottomed, constant 40" deep, tiled floor, near vertical painted concrete walls. I'm looking for a small budget robotised cleaner. I'm being drawn towards the simplicity, light weight and (definitely) the cost of the Aquabot Pool Rover...

Thanks B.R. but my system is only 3 months old so ripping it all out and starting again isn't an option (which I'd have to do to install any other filtration system). I just need to wait and guage the reliability of PoolBlaster reports beofre I take the plunge (no pun intended).

OK..I'm new to pool ownership so go easy on me......... I have a small 5000gallon 'fun' pool. It's only 110cm (43") deep. I have an integral 'wall hung' pump/filter unit with a 1hp motor. My problem is that the intake for the water is on the bottom of the pump/filter unit. This is 2ft above the...
