I've got an attached spa in the corner of my pool and am getting some annoying sand/silt buildup in the spa at the base of the bench as well as at the entry stairs of the pool. I've got a Pentair Warrior robot that works great for everywhere in the pool except around the entry stairs (when I try and brush the stairs the stuff always just settles back in the edges eventually) and when I've tried putting the robot in the spa it doesn't really do much since there's not much room for it to maneuver with so many 90 vertical edges with the bench that goes around the perimeter (and the dirt builds up in these corners).
Am wanting to find something to clean this stuff up that keeps it out of my pools filter and that I can also ideally use without getting in the water. At first I thought one of those tube squirt gun looking cleaners (like the Zodiac pool wand) would work good since it's just sediment type debris I'm worried about.....anything larger in the spa and I can just get it with my skimmer net. But some of the reviews on quality or effectiveness didn't look too good on those so then I thought maybe I should look at the battery powered types and the Pool Blaster ones seemed to be the main brand to go with. There's various versions though so I was just wondering if there's that big a difference between the Pool Blaster Max Li, the Pool Blaster Max Li HD, and the Pool Blaster Max Li CG (commercial grade). These things are a little more than I wanted to spend (initially wanted something sub $100) but if it's gonna work well for what I want it to then I'll shell out the cash. There's about an $80 difference between the standard Max version and the CG one (with the HD about halfway in-between). Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these two higher level ones and if they're worth the extra $ over the standard Max Li.
Or am I over thinking and there's a different cheap non electrical powered item out there that'd work for what I need it to do? I thought of actually just getting a tube type squirt gun but I don't think they make one long enough for me to reach (would need like a 3' barrel) where I need to without getting in the water.
