OK, I've figured out what "vacuum to waste" means - siphoning water onto the ground, right? DOH.....

Used the vacuum that came with my pool and I thought it worked great, to be honest. A bit of a PITA to empty the bag a few times but it was cool to see how much gunk was in the pool. The bristled vacuum head worked great for wiping down the walls too. Next time I'm using goggles and a snorkel......
