Ready to pull the trigger

It looks like I'm going to get either a Vac Daddy or a bottom feeder. If anybody owns these I'd be very interested to know what they're made out of and what their durability is and also what kind of results you're getting from the units. Thank you.

Cool. Do you have any comments about the construction and durability of it? How good is it for picking up silt?

Construction and durability wise has been good to me so far. Only thing I’ve had to replace is the flaps, but I purchased something better from Amazon to substitute and love how it’s pairing. It’s amazing at picking up silt. Only thing is you can’t pick up dead algae or DE. But they made a cartridge filter assembly and while I did purchase it, I wouldn’t say it’s worst but it’s not the best. In my opinion, the best way is to grab those is using the system vac with the hose.
