No one else has mentioned it, so I thought I'd let everyone know that I purchased one and am blown away at how well it works.


I'm going to have to do a ME TOO post here! What a very cool device!

After reading about it here I spent some time pondering it, and then we had a pool party over the 4th of July with seven German Shepherds in the water for three days. The hair! Oh, the hair!!! We ran the pump 24/7, we cleaned the sock every 15 minutes, and in the mornings I scooped so much balled up dog hair off the bottom I could have built several more dogs.

Ordered it from In The Swim on Tuesday. It arrived this morning. I puzzled over the many elbow connectors for some time until I had it installed. Still have to cut the length of PVC pipe that came with it and put in the screws but it is in and it is working.

Wowser! I stood there smoking a stogie while I watched Japanese beetles flaoting clear from the other site of the pool inexorably toward the hat to get sucked into the bag.

As we used to say in my day: Like . . . groovy, man!

Question: once I get all the elbows and the height properly adjusted, is it ok to use PVC glue to hold them together? Or is it better to stick with the little screws in case I want to make directional adjustments?
