size that can be removed from the water. The higher the micron the more resistant the bag is to tearing.
Available Bags:
Coarse (400 Micron) For leaves and large debris.
Standard (100 Micron) General debris and sand.
Ultra Fine (75 Micron) Removes very fine particles even D.E. powder.
Attaching a Bag
The bags are very easy to attach when done properly, if you don’t find yourself attaching the bags
effortlessly with the following instructions please visit our website to view an instructional video.
