Hello GG!
I must admit you seem to have the toughest to clean and keep clean pool of about anyone here on this forum.
(I love the robot collection and your write up on the pool skim and solar breeze)
Leaf Gulpers are great- and its a good tool for sure, and a whole buch cheaper no doubt, but I cant get really good performance off my garden hose its kind of weak at least in my area - in comparison to a hammerhead its power seems to have about a much force as a panting squirrel.
I find the leaf grabber does job of picking up freshly fallen (within a week) leaves, but doesnt do so well on pebbles or heavy twigs or layers of stuff and heavy dirt seem to overwhelm the the overall lifting ability before the bag even reaches capacity.
At the same time Im not sure any pool has a mountain of coins waiting to be sucked up though and the hammerhead rocks, I would not buy one personally- rent yes- buy no.
These things below seem to be the formula 1 of swamp cleaning- completely self contained filter and full rated pool pump. A days rental on this puppy may be worth several with the residential stuff we use.
