Will the PoolBuster with the fine filter bag suck up dead algae?

Ed

You can even use the original PB as your main vac. It's easier and faster to use than a hose vac, too. Spend the $25 on the finer filter bag, it's well worth it.

You should clean the bag after every use. First dump out the junk you can, then just take a bucket of water and rinse it. Repeat once on the rinse in a fresh bucket and you're done!

I don't know. I don't have any dead algae, and haven't had much in years.

bbb-on the Blue Haven site it says the Catfish is for above ground pools and the Buster is for inground pools. Don't know what the difference is between them or why the Catfish couldn't be used on an inground pool.

Will the PoolBuster with the fine filter bag suck up dead algae?

Ed

Don't know if it will handle algae, probably. It handles the VERY fine silt I get in the pool through my mesh winter cover. What *WILL* get algae - before it hits the filter - is the filter socks. They are also great at trapping pollen before it hits the filter. I have them on now and the amount of stuff they trap is phenomenol.

I'm currently contemplating purchasing either a PoolBuster MAX or PoolBuster CG. If you go to WaterTech's site, they now offer a PoolBuster CG Gold. This model sells for $349 and includes a "Fine Sand & Silt" bag, a pack of 5 Micro-filter bags and an extra 1hr charging unit.

Anyone out there think that's a good deal?
