Is there such a thing as....

Is there such a thing as an electric pool vacuum that you can put on the end of a pool pole and vacuum the pool like you vacuum the living room?

Im thinking like the Rover S2 on the end of the pole.

I ask this this because I hate using the suction side to vacuum and everyone complains that robots miss spots.

Ive looked but I can't find anything so I thought I'd ask those in the know.

Thanks in advance...

This is a good one:

The ones that the pros use run close to $2,000.

But seriously, your big issue with robots is that they sometimes miss spots? Balance that against nearly zero effort. My old Saturday/Sunday morning ritual was manually vacuuming for nearly an hour. I now drop the robot in, run errands and come back to a clean pool.

Have you seen the Water tech pool blaster catfish pool and spa vacuums on Amazon? They look like a stick vacuum that you can attach to your telescoping pole, they are cordless and battery operated.

Thanks Geebot!

Yes, seriously. I'm not concerned with effort and this board is full of missed spots and tangled cords so nothing is really effortless.

Thanks S1!

I have a Pool Blaster Catfish. It works well.

I use it more like a carpet sweeper or a dustbuster than as a full vacuum. For one, the charge doesn't' last long enough to do the whole pool. Two, the head width is too narrow. But for spot cleaning and just grabbing the odd leaves and so on, it works great.

Thanks Richard!

I can see the battery being an issue. Like I said earlier I have something like the Rover in mind, plug it in vacuum hit it and move on... But maybe that doesn't exist.

"Effortless" to me is under 5 minutes of work. I prefer spending my limited weekend time enjoying myself.

I just picked up a Shop-Vac that pumps water back out a hose. I was using it to deal with a large amount of cotton wood floating on the surface (like sq ft of the stuff) I'm going to see if I can't make an adapter so I can just hook the end of my pole vac head hose to the Shop-Vac. I took a nylon mesh strainer that they use for straining paint in 5 gallon buckets and put it over the filter inside the vac and it worked really well keeping the fuzzy slime from getting past. I would imagine it would make short work of bottom vac. I just point the output hose back onto the pool.
