Hey all,

the bottom of the spa seems to routinely collect debris and I need an effective way to clean it. The Polaris 360 is too big to fit in the spa and work effectively.

What are some good options and which of those do you recommend?

I use a regular "manual" vacuum head connected to the vaccum line in my pool to clean mine. Looks like this:

where would the vacuum line be located? In the skimmer?

Yeah, if you don't have a "cleaner port" you can just plug a hose into the skimmer and then the other end of the hose onto the vacuum head. If you don't mind getting in you could probably just use the hose, but the head lets you use a pole and stay dry while you vacuum.

the only port I have in the pool is the one for the pressure cleaner. For the vacuum you obviously want suction, correct?

where do you recommend picking one up like the vacuum you posted?
