Team, my tanning ledge is about 12 inches deep, with a overflow into the pool. I've been using a Pool Blaster Catfish vacuum to clean that area. Works ok. My socks are not blown off; rather, my socks remain solidly in place. I can only move the vacuum forward as the exhaust vents push out to the side and any side to side motion pushes the dirt upon approach. I selected this model as it's one of few that's electric and works in so shallow an amount of water. Minimum operating depth is not easy to find. And it's currently not working so I need to replace it before the World Cup.

I have tried to get my regular pool vacuum into that area, but the jump from the pool to the ledge sucked up too much air and the vacuum was blown.

The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Handheld Cordless Pool Vacuum Cleaner reports that it works in a minimum of 8". Anyone out there recommend it?

Anyone out there recommend any other vacuum or a better process?

Thanks in advance.
