Best pool cleaner

[TomC]

I have an aquabot turbo remote model, that i purchased when I had my pool installed in 2001. It was probably once of the best purchases I've ever made. I put it in the pool probably once a week, right before bed, and I wake up to a sparkling clean pool. It even climbs the walls and scrubs them too. Cleaning the 2 micron filter bag takes about 5 minutes, no more.

It has been trouble free all these years, with the exception of needing new drive belts, which cost 20 bucks and which I installed in about 15 minutes. I live in NY state, and my pool is open from Memorial day to Labor day, so your mileage may vary.

Also, I'd much rather take the 5 or 10 minutes to set it up and put it away, than hauling out all the vacuum paraphernalia. As a matter of fact, even though my pool came with a vacuum set, I have never used it, just the aquabot.
