Yeah I know I know. I have read the PC School section.
However. Still some questions.
Some of you may know me as the guy who was coerced into 't mooky pool. I am still struggling to get it it free of sediment, and I know a pool cleaner is a must.
First question. If I get a simple suction type (which it says will struggle with a 20,000 gal pool), what to I get for $600-700 that I don't get for $300? This was not covered in the article I read.
Similar question for one that has its own pump.
Second. My pool has a real non-skid finish. Should I really be looking at a wheeled version rather than a skirted version? I am assuming that the wheeled ones do not do the sides of the pool?
Third. If I get one that has its own bag, (whether self-powered or not), rather than one that passes through the filter, are there ones that have a reasonable filter bag size? I am hoping that once I get this puppy into shape, my blanket will help a lot, but we have a LOT of trees about and I don't want to be having to watch an "automatic" vacuum like a hawk all the time. I like the idea of one that has its own filter, because I reckon I prefer using a hose and a bit of shaking to back-flushing at huge rates.
There are probably more, but that will do for now!
