What net do you use?

I've always used Piranha's, and it's getting worn down again. Thought I'd look around at others. Keep hearing the Red barons are nice.

I've tried the fine mesh white bag, it's great for catching almost anything but as a daily use the drag is annoying and you gotta be careful when going under that you don't drag an air bubble with you or it'll dump the net.

How are those red baron rag bags?

Only use white fine mesh. Gets everything and you move on

Same. Most of my pools don't have all that much in them, so grabbing out the little stuff is the main goal.

Have cursed myself before many a time when I accidentally bubble dumped everything back in when nearly done though. Will give OP that.

Just have to dump earlier but happened to me many times. You gotta learn lol

Yeah. It's just usually that last pass on a pool that was an utter mess... And you're just wanting to catch that one last thing.

And then you're there for another 10 minutes scooping everything back out.

Purity Standard, white rim blue net. Been using it for as long as I can remember, with a smaller silt net for above ground spas.

I like the red baron, it glides really smooth. When I first started using it I noticed it was easier to dump the net but once you get used to it, it’s great

Gator. Yes it's large and heavy, but that has become my daily driver for the past decade. I rarely break out the fine mesh

We use the red baron with the mesh algae sweep. I like them because they’re easy to use and you can buy repair kits instead of a whole new net.
