When I run my new Dolphin Active 20 for a full cycle, there's still quite a bit of debris left at the bottom of the pool. Photos attached. Is this normal?
I previously had a very old pressure side Polaris that I was excited to upgrade away from. It got stuck on the stairs constantly and the parts were all beat up. But the suction on the Polaris seemed better to me, and it got the pool cleaner. When I watch the Dolphin, it does suck some stuff in, but a lot of it gets blown around. Attached are a couple photos of what the basket looks like after a full cycle.
It's also possible there's just more debris now than previously given the time of year. It's hard to remember. There are some trees near my property that I have no control over, including one conifer that drops some thin leaves. Attached are a couple photos to give an idea of scale.
Anyway, I'm a first time pool owner so this could absolutely be user error! No idea if I'm doing something wrong or if my expectations are too high or if it's a problem with the Dolphin. What do you all think?
