    So exactly how do the robotic cleaners polish the water so well, is there a super fine filter in them? Does anyone know down to what size particle they filter?

    I believe (but am not positive) that the filter bag on my blue pearl is either 10 or 20 microns. All I know is that I can put it in the water when there is no cleaning needed and the bag gets a nice coating of crap on it and the water is cleaner when it is done.

    Isn't that about what a cart filter will filter too, ~20 microns? From what I've read here people seem to quote performance more inline with DE filters, ~6 to 10 microns.

    It is a filter bag that all the water and debris is pushed through.
