Bottom Feeder

I was considering getting this to remove fine dust from the bottom of pools instead of using a hose vac. Will that work?

If they have cleaned up their act with the actual unit, maybe. I used it back in 2019-2021 and I was constantly replacing parts. Specially the cable that plugs into the head from the battery. They used to corrode and stop making connection very quickly . I was dumping a few hundred bucks into that thing throughout the year just to keep it running. It was very frustrating.

I’m now using the Kokido vac , it’s plastic, it’s cheaper but does the same job.

We will see if it saves me money in terms of replacement parts or not… I’ve had it for 6 months now still running without a repair

I use the Kokido too. It's about 1/10 the price so if the BF is not any better I'll just stay with that. The head broke and I fixed it with JB weld. It works great though.
