    Default RB185 Leaf Eater

    I'm considering purchasing a leaf eater for a quick cleanup of small debris & leaves in my IG vinyl...

    Any leaf eater owner feedback would be appreciated...Especially on how well it works...

    Thanks

    They work great!. I use mine with the silt bag insead of vacumning the pool many times since it is much easier than hooking up the vacumn. One trick is to put a tennis ball in the bag to keep it floating. YOu can vacumn up a lot more stuff before having to stop and empty the bag that way. They work better when the bag is slightly dirty if you are suing the silt bag for fine stuff. They also are great for surface skimming. Hold the unit upside down half under the water surface and the water force carries floating leaves right into the bag! Much faster than a skimmer net, IMHO.
