Thought I'd share a pool maintenance "find":
I've been using a Poolbuster (watertechcorp.com) for the last two seasons. The unit is a rechargeable battery operated self-contained vacuum that operates underwater. Ever since purchasing the Poolbuster, I haven't had to use the regular pool vacuum (no need to pull out all the accessories and attach the vacuum hose), and haven't used my Polaris pool cleaner much either. Take a look at the internet website. If you buy one go for the commercial unit with the bigger motor and longer runtime between charging.
(I have no interest in Watertech Corp... just a satisfied owner of their Poolbuster)
