My Polaris 280 runs daily for 2.5 hours. I use the sand and silt bags so it picks up tons of dust. I also rotate between two bags to allow easier cleaning of a dry bag versus trying to get wet sand out of a wet bag.

Anyway, with running my 280, my floor bottom looks clean, so I'm never vacuuming. Should I be? My builder said with the cleaner, I'll probably never need to vacuum. He told me incorrect information before, so should I be vacuuming for some reason?

In fact, I like the idea that the 280 puts the dirt in the bag that I then empty in the trash versus the vacuum that would put the dirt in the filter.

Thanks,
Robert
