does this suck up the dirty water?

No, it uses a shampoo that dries, then is vacuumed up. It works very well. I love mine!

No Kayko it doesn't. You have to mop up the water. I was very saddened to learn this after I purchased mine. I've used it once; it does a good job but mopping up the mess isn't fun.

Yes mine climbs up fiberglass walls and cleans pretty good. I do have to let it work a bit longer than one cycle, but it sure beats using the filter and the pump by a long way. Start it and forget it and so far I'm loving it.

Yes you do but it's worth it. This model is much better than the others. If you have hard water, I would recommend adding an in line water filter.

The small dirt particles goes into the filter cartridge inside the filter like a real pool does. It works pretty well I think it is small, I have a 15' pool and it takes a while to vacuum it.

It will suck up a bit of sludge, but I would recommend, for longevity purpose, to try and avoid that situation. The more water in the mixture, the better results. Cleaning the pump area afterwards is recommended. The pump comes with a netting, so leaves wont pass through. I wouldn't suck up leaves, the pump chamber would most likely seize.

It works OK, but I had to really clean out the filter before the water cleared up. It did not clear up the tank as claimed (just add to water) in my case.

Yes it does. I have now been using this for a few months and have found it to work perfectly. No more bad smells or taste in my water. (filters can be purchased for about $10 each)

No John, it doesn't. I love this vacuum-- it gets out so much more dirt than any other vacuum I have used--- and all the dirt picked up is contained in the receptacle.

No. It is only good at removing small bits of trash that might come from a well. For scale it is useless.

Yes it does. The tank for the cleaning solution is on the upright and the tank for dirty is below with the vacuum head. One note to be aware of, the waste tank is only about 1/2 the size of the solution tank so it has to be dumped more frequently than it needs to be filled.

No. It doesn't. It drains actually quicker than the original. However it does depend on your personal usage.

No..you are laying down the cleaning solution and then just sucking it up. You may want to go back later anddo a complete rinse if you think it is necessary.

Yes, it works great just filling up the water from the top. You can then use filtered water if you want.

I had very dirty water and did not clean mine before using it; my water turned clear fairly quickly and stays that way as long as I backflush consistently to clean it.

It does not work as a regular vacuum cleaner where the dirt goes in a bag or so.... it sucks the dirt pass it through the hose out... I filter the dirty water and the clean water goes in a separate container so it can be used again.

It will pick anything up. But i have a net i installed before it goes into the pump so it doesnt go through i just empty the net after the cleaning .. works really well
