Thanks, for your reply! So I guess that idea's out the window. And looks like Pool Busters have also fallen out of favor recently - it's been about a year since I've been active on this forum, and back then, people were crazy about their PBs!

I've never used a pool vac (the ones you attach to one of your skimmers). Is that the state of the art these days then? Is there something I need in my system to be able to support one? I looked at one of my skimmers yesterday, and underneath the basket, there was one hole, which I took to be the suction hole. Do I attach the vacuum to that hole?
