Suction Side Cleaner - Q's & Opinions

[NWMNMom]

Well I have a Sta Rite, but I think they were bought out by Pentair. I also have a leaf canister, which I think really helps save on the skimmer basket cleanings as well as catching some of the small stuff that ends up in the pump basket.

I call mine the Krappy Krawler. Don't run one without a leaf canister unless you like cleaning the pump basket.

I run it until I start using the pool and then it goes back into storage. It likes to get stuck on the ladder, the leaf canister, itself, or anything else it can find. It will not clean the steps. At least not on my pool.

In general it has turned me against suction side cleaners.

Get a second bag for the Dolphin and wash them in the washing machine...much easier that way.
