I have a small in-groung 5000 gallon 'fun' pool. It's only 110cm (43") deep. I have an integral 'wall hung' pump/filter unit with a 1hp motor and a canister filter (a combined unit which hangs over the pool wall rather like a saddle on a horse). Apart from the separate pool drain, there is no other plumbing!
My problem is that the main intake for the water is on the bottom of the pump/filter unit. This is 2ft ABOVE the pool bottom. This type of unit is incapable of sucking up any debris from the pool floor. Consequently dead algae just gathers on the bottom and when you swim it all gets kicked up and makes the pool look like milky water. Some of it gets filtered, but most ends up back on the floor
.Now I cannot connect a normal pool vacuum (with all the hoses) and run this through my filter...it doesn't have the facility to do this. So I'm looking seriously at the Pool Blaster Max CG.
However I can't get reliable reports on it's effectiveness.......50% say its almost useless....50% love it!
Bearing in mind my situation, and if I add a very fine bag to filter the dead algae, is a Pool Blaster Max CG my best option?
Do I need to use a clarifier?
Just to make thing worse.....my home is in a distant island province of the Philippines! I can't just run down to Costco and return it if it doesn't work. Nor can I get fancy chemicals and other water treatment products.
I have to order this on-line, so I need to be sure!
HELP guys....PLEASE.
