Don't Clean Your Robot Filter Bag!Don't clean your dirty Aquabot or Dolphin automatic pool cleaner filter bag, throw it away! The time saved is enormous. I leave the bag in the robot for 2 to 4 cleaning cycles. Forget about hand washing...most time is saved by not removing it after every cleaning. These disposables do not mildew. Cleaning my Aquabot filter bag is a disgusting job. It is the ugly side of owning an Aquabot pool cleaner. The contents inevitably end up on my hands or at my feet. Finding a suitable location to clean the dirty bag is another problem. Several options are available, Dolphin offers a disposable, called Wonderbag, for their machines that also fit Aquabot. They are expensive, a package of five will cost more than $50. I am using inexpensive disposables called NastyBag. You can buy them at www.nastybag.com. They are very well made and cost a fraction of the Wonderbag. Unless the pool is very dirty, as it is cleaning up after a Winter's accumulation of silt under my mesh safety cover, I get 2 to 4 cleaning cycles from each bag. Replace the disposable bag every 2 to 4 cleaning cycles. The convenience and time saved is enormous. The manufacturer claims filtration of 30 microns and that's probably what you get with the reusable bag that came with the Aquabot. Look at the reusable bag and you will find several relief holes that are about 1/4 inch wide. That's a whole lot of microns flowing thru those holes. Wonderbags and Nastybags will fit almost every robot that uses a bag. Robotic Pool Cleaner Filter Bags and Microns Explained One other observation, the disposable holds more "stuff" than the regular Aquabot bag due to built in greater capacity. 10-20 bags will get me through a season. I keep telling myself to save the disposables for those days I don't have the time to clean the soiled bag. I find I never have time to clean the bag by hand. I recently sent my robot into the muck under my safety cover. My machine filled three disposable bags with the most disgusting mix of worms, insects and tree debris. Years past, I would drag out the vacuum equipment because I did not want to clean the bag multiple times in one day. Buying disposables are the best thing I have done since buying the robot itself. A small price to pay for the ability to just throw away the bag and keep my hands clean.
