Anyone familiar with nitro wall climber?

I haven't vacuumed by hand with a hose in the skimmer for over 10 years, going back to my first robotic cleaner.

The closest I get to manual cleaning is to do some touch ups with my pool blaster.

Once you have a robot there is no going back...lol

Ain't that the truth! And if you have a PoolBuster (and I have one of the first), your backup is better than a vacuum.

I haven't used the suction-side vacuum in, what?, 5-6 years? Maybe 7?

A well-charged PoolBuster with the upgraded finer filter will, if you must, allow you to vacuum your pool in 1/2 to 1/3 the time of a hose vacuum. The only thing to watch with them is sometimes they have bad battery/motor packs that have to be replaced--usually under warranty.

But a PoolBuster is usually just for touch-ups. The robot does it all--you don't ever brush the pool, either.

You will never go back to regular vacuuming. We have had a dolphin for about 6 years. I wouldn't live without it. We have even named ours Jaws...

sorry I wasn't on sooner. I had an Aquabot turbo that worked great for a number of years.Untill one day the drive motor went.At that time I was looking into another robotic cleaner and ended up buying a nitro. The nitro is a good cleaner not great the bag is almost the same as the aquabot exceptit has some small holes that let sand and algee escape the bag.And the wall climbing wasn't like an aquabot.But as for sucking up leaves and acorns it did abetter job than the aquabot.I still have and us it on occasion,but i ended up getting A blue diamond. Only because a friend was moving away and I bought it for almost nothing.Hands down the blue diamond is the best pool cleaner that I have ever had.
