What vacuums is everyone buying/using? Give me your pros & cons, what to stay away from!
We purchased one-had good reviews but when we got it, it literally just using a mesh type bag & then any sand or dirt it picked up just goes through the mesh bag right back into the pool-so we are returning it & looking for a better solution. We live in the west Texas desert, we have lots of dust storms & they always seem to happen while we are at work & can’t get home to put the cover on & I personally don’t want the cover on all the time, we mainly use the pool on weekends & occasionally during the week after work, the pool cover being on all the time just seems like it’d become a breeding ground for a green pool & I definitely do not want that!

We are in the process of getting our poly tank & not wanting to go with the usual above ground pool pumps, we’d rather use the salt/sand filter pumps, as we’ve read they are a lot less maintenance to use, I just need a suggestion as to which one to purchase, or what has worked best for others. The tank we’re getting is the 8’, 625 gallon from Tractor Supply, only way to get without paying $500+ for delivery. TIA for any help/suggestions/advice!
