Re: Pool Vacuums
I was about to buy Ben's Vacuum head when A buddy of mine gave me his year old Barracuda G4. (I suspect there are millions of used pool cleaners available at garage sales for cheap.) It wasn't cutting it on his 50,000 gallon pool and he upgraded to an aquabot. I dumped the sucker in the water last Sunday and let it run for three hours. It left a trail of clean wherever it went and completely cleaned the bottom of my 25,000 gallon plaster pool. It ran all the way up the sides to the surface. It misssed quite a bit around the ladder and the top steps. I swept the sides with a Wall Whale and have never seen my pool so clean, even when a pro was doing it.
I suppose if I'd paid for it I'd be annoyed at having to clean the walls, but for free I'm delighted.
22,000 gal gunite pool, 1.5 hp pump, DE filter, and dreams of a SWG.
