Poolmaster 28316: Make Pool Maintenance Easier with This Swimming Pool Leaf Vacuum

Juan Hernandez: This product works well but not for above ground pool. If your pool is not completely flat it gets caught on the crease and also get caught on the stitching of the lower area. I’m sure for below ground pool it would be great

Robert Karges: The leaf vacuum at the front end is too light to keep on down on the pool floor especially on the deep end of the pool. I suggest adding something around the leaf bag to hold the leaf vacuum down.

debn: I had very high hopes for this product. It gets great reviews so my expectations were high. I found it hard to use. Some reviews mentioned that it is difficult to keep it on the bottom of the pool. Yep, that is the truth. The bag attaches with a draw string. I closed it as tightly as possible. Still, the bag came off in the pool. So all of the contents of the bag emptied back into the pool. I found it difficult to maneuver on the bottom of the pool. When I attempted to pull it out of the pool, the contents of the bag emptied into the pool. It will not pick up dirt at the bottom of the pool. It does pick up leaves and maybe half of what it picks up will stay in the bag when you bring the bag out of the pool. It is probably best for small jobs/pools. I cannot see using it to clean the entire bottom of my large pool. It would be great to use after a storm when leaves are blown into the pool.

KristinaKristina: We bought a house with a pool...and trees...lots and lots of trees. We have pecans, oaks, maples, and more. Our pool has been a losing battle every fall. Sometimes our lines get clogged. Sometimes our skimmers get clogged. Sometime we just say "forget it" and let it go until spring. I decided to try the leaf vacuum after my husband informed me that he needed the pool clean on January 1st for a polar plunge party. Oh boy! I got the vacuum, hooked it up with the hose and went to town.
Cons: 1) a cold garden hose is not very maliable and makes it hard to maneuver the vacuum, 2) the bags do not attach well, I had to tie the string in a knot to get it to stay attached, 3) the vacuum wanted to float so required a significant amount of effort to keep it on the floor of the pool.
Pros: it got the job done. The attached photo was after the inaugural 5 minutes of vacuuming.
While the vacuum can be cumbersome, it is effective. That makes it well worth the money for me!

lgill: It sucks up the leaves well, but is hard to move around with a mormal hose attached. The resistance was so great it bent my pole lifting it out of the water. You need a very flexible hose attached to use this in the spring and fall.

Client d'Amazon: Balayeuse parfaite pour ramasser les feuilles qui sont au fond de la piscine lorsqu’il y en a beaucoup avant de démarrer la piscine.
Je trouve par contre qu’étant donné que le manche et le tuyau d’arrosage sont du même côté, le devant cherche alors à se soulever au lieu de rester à plat au fond de la piscine.
C’est un détail, j’ai quand même pu ramasser plusieurs feuilles.

D. Paul Dalton: My pool filter froze & I had to wait on a replacement. In the meantime, the pool bottom got covered with leaves on top of leaves. I bought this product to help remove those leaves. It DOES work & I'm glad I got it, tho' it's not without its own limitations:

Once I had the new filter, I turned on my Dolphin robot to deal with the leaves But I quickly found I was having to pull my Dolphin out of the water to empty the filter basket after just a couple of minutes. A real PITA!

It looked like the overall bag capacity of this Poolmaster was at least 4x that of the Dolphin's filter basket, so that's why I bought it.

But, it seemed impossible to actually fill the Poolmaster's bag beyond ~1/4 full because the weight of the leaves causes the bag to fold over & not only drag on the pool bottom, but also prevent any more leaves from getting into that bag.

So I tied a piece of kite string to the top of the bag, then tied the other end above the slip joint on the pole, thinking that "holding the bag up" would let it hold more leaves. That idea was generally correct, but because that held the bag vertically above the opening, the weight of leaves in the...

Cris: I have 6 huge oak trees that drop gazillions of leaves several times a year and my pool gets totally filled with leaves. I have been raking the leaves with a regular pool rake/net - which is backbreaking work and takes hours to get all the leaves out. It is almost impossible to keep up. I just don't have the time to do this anymore and can't stand my pool being gross, so I got on the Google machine to seek a solution. That is when I found the Poolmaster 28316 Leaf Vacuum. In the shopping cart it went and 2 days later it arrived. All I can say is OMG!! Within 5 minutes after the delivery, I became the leaf sucking queen! The Poolmaster leaf vacuum is VERY easy to use - I attached the fine mesh bag to the top and connected my hose and telescoping pole - I sank the Poolmaster to the bottom, turned on the hose and in one pass, all the leaves I went over were in the bag - clean and clear pool bottom! Wow! Even with all my endless toil in raking, it was never that clean. With 8 high pressure jets creating super suction power, I removed every leaf, seed pod and other debris in my standard sized pool in about 45 minutes - which for my situation of having probably 2 weeks worth of leaves...
