Looking for a spa vacuum

Have a pool & connected 'infinity' style spa. The pool cleaner (polaris 280) cleans the pool great, but I am looking for something that can vacuum the spa. The 'infinity' spa spills over into a 6-inch wide trench that rounds around it, that feeds into the pool. I'd like the vacuum head to be small enough to clean that trench as well since it collects debris and whatnot that falls/blows in. Throwing the 280 into the spa doesn't work as it just crawls out. I am looking for some sort of hand vacuum that can ideally connect to the boost pump connection that the 280 uses. I would really like to avoid an electric pool vacuum as I have read that those often fail after a short time. I haven't been able to find any sort of boost pump hand vacuum anywhere so am wondering if that sort of thing exists in the first place. I know that turning it on and off would be tricky while you are holding it but just really don't want to buy an electric one that can fry after a few months because water got in.

Thank you in advance!
 
It does not exist.

I find the best thing is to run the spa for a while and brushing dirt in it towards the floor drains. Keep the dirt in suspension so it can be drawn into the filter.

Using the spa will churn up the dirt and let it be filtered out.
