ok i think i want to go automatic

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?

My Aquabot filters to 2 microns. [Editted out mistype of 20 microns]

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.

Woops.. I meant 2 microns.

What type of filter element cleans down to 2 microns?

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

i see that there are many many robotic cleaners out there.

the dolphin, blue pearl, aquabot etc. How does one sort through all the options?

I think "almost" everything being equal on performance of like type robotics, price is the tie breaker.
