It works well but needs to be emptied a bit more frequently.

I have both. The sand/silt bag is better. Catches much more. No drawbacks to it.

We use the finer one in spring and summer and the leaf bag in the fall. We get small blossoms and seeds, as well as any sand, dirt or fur the dog leaves in the pool earlier in the year and leaf drop in the fall.

I have a polaris 360. Is it a whole new bag or is it a filter that fits on the inside? Thanks!

It's a bag.

update, well I bought one and boy does this thing work well.

I ran it 2 hours and filled up about 1/3 of the bag with sand and small stuff the other bag was not grabbing.

Best investment of $29.99 I can think of in a while.

I, too bought one recently and you are right, it does a great job. I get a good deal of leaves in the pool, as it is surrounded by bamboo, and it still catches the bigger leaves, as well. I wonder how long it will hold up, however, as it seems that the water puts a good amount to pressure on it, passing through the tighter weave. I would expect that it may start taring at the seams...

It is my very favorite bag! Wish I had not bought a bunch of the regular ones. It catches much more dirt and dog hair. Got good prices for bags on Ebay.

We used womens knee high socks with the regular bag. Just fit them over the opening. Works awsome and is much cheaper.
