TX Dust + steps and tanning ledge = ??? Which vacuum do we need?

[sedalbj]

We are in TX and when the wind kicks up in the summer, dust! And it is a clay like dust so it settles fast. Looks like mud.

We have a Pentair Racer LS w/ booster pump and it does a good job at what it does. It stirs the dust off the floor of the pool, but then the dust ends up on the stairs and ledges. Which eventually look like they are covered in mud.

Whatever vacuum/cleaner we choose, I don’t need to be able to schedule it. I need something I can pull out every 2-4 weeks and hit the stairs/ledges/spa. It needs to have a filter to handle the dust.

Any ideas? I see some cleaners that look like stick vacs. That would work. Just need the filter……..

Sed,

I know of nothing that will work on ledges and steps... Most people just sweep them off into the pool itself.

I sweep off my steps and swim-outs and then run my EVO robot..

Here is a pic of what it can pic up..




Thanks,

I’m hoping to vacuum rather than sweep. When I sweep it get mixed into the pool, and the wind blows it right back on to the steps/ledges.
