What about dirt that gets into the pool will that be filtered out?

I had to put a nylon knee-hi inside the filter bag that came with it, does a lot better job . Just stretch knee-hi over edge of filter to make inner sleeve. Also works best on dirt and algae with full battery charge.

Arizona has the finest dust there is. it even gets into indoor pools and is next to impossible to remove, this vacuum has done so well for my pool that my filter has twice the life , and at over $250. each I would never be with out one.

Maybe the first time you clean with it but then it will break. Not worth the money!

The blaster is like a dust buster for the pool. It has a filter that catches the dirt and has to be cleaned with each use. It is a good product and it has worked well for me.

There is no filter per se. there are disks which rotate in the water and collect dirt. There isnt a mesh or anything of that sort.

The water from the hose is redirected to exit through the catch net. The pressure of the moving water will move any dirt or other matter up and into the catch net. TO call it a vacuum is a misnomer, but that is basicly what it does. It will clean the bottom of the pool, and does it very well.

No, the dirt is supposed to be tapped out of the filter into the garbage. To quote the owner's manual it states (in capital letters) "DO NOT RINSE OR WASH THE FILTER MADE WITH HEPA MEDIA".

Its 1 of 2 options you have. On the bottom is a removeable plate that reveals either 2 filtering cartridges or a filtering bag that you clean after each use or every other use depending how dirty your pool is

The gravel will serve as your filter, the air flow will cause the water to naturally be sucked thru the gravel, the gravel will filter the dirt, you will need to clean this tank on a monthly basis if you have more than say 4 small tropical fish or 2 gold fish.

Pool is filtered through two filters inside cleaner. If your main pool pump is off nothing goes through it however you can run the pump and the cleaner at the same time but not necessary. Recommend you buy two extra filters.

Kevin, it is the dirt on the outside I am picking up I worry about. This thing is handy as pockets on a shirt and works very well. As long as you keep the filter clean I wouldn't worry about the rest of it!!!

We don't seem to have a problem with not picking up small particles. I have read that if the Dolphin is not riding close to the bottom of the pool some people turn it upside down in the water to get air out. Others have said to use the filter bags because they catch smaller particles. Also, I read that the spring cartridges work better than the standard ones that come with the cleaner.

It came with a filter system, but I purchase a straight sand filter that was 1.5 horse power to keep it clean. I have hard water, but the sand filter works great for me. Otherwise the pool has been great so far.

Depending on how high the water level is, it may be right on the water's surface or a little above. I don't remember having a problem with trapping dirt underneath. Usually it keeps the junk out of the pool.

The area where the debris gets collected and stored is not very large and I have found that large leaves tend to get stuck in the intake slot. My pool doesn't get a lot of leaves, mainly smaller junk like redwood needles, so it's not a huge issue for me. They do sell special "clean up" filters that work a bit better when you have more leaves, but those are only for occasional use.

We use our pump to drain water off our pool cover. If the water is dirty, it pumps the dirty water off the cover. If there is any kind of debris, like leaves, tree seeds, etc, there is a screen on the bottom that stops stuff from coming through the pump. We set our pump on a frisbee and the leaves and such settle there and when it gets full of leaves surrounding the base of the pump, we unplug it and clear it off and plug the pump back in. We have never had our pump get clogged.

It will pick anything up. But i have a net i installed before it goes into the pump so it doesnt go through i just empty the net after the cleaning .. works really well

No, there is a filtration system hooked up to it, to keep sediment from entering the pump. I used a 5 gallon bucket and leave the hose on inside the bucket. Be careful not to turn the hose on too high, as the pressure from the hose will fill the bucket faster than the shower pump will drain it

Our pool is 7/8th of the way in-ground and it has a liner. The pool rover works well getting all around the pool as it cleans the bottom. It does not go up the walls. It picks up everything but the finest silt though. Our pool filter takes care of that when there is a lot of activity in the pool. Overall, it makes the job of pool cleaning so much easier! It works much better than our old cleaner which hooked up to the filter system. Hope this helps.
