We have an 18' x 40' in ground pool up north and we purchased a Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner through Leslie's Pool Supplies. It is a self contained unit and has it's own washable/cleanable bag. You DO NOT have to go through the skimmer. You plug it into an outdoor outlet, drop it in the pool and once the unit hits the floor, let it go and go have breakfast, lunch or dinner. It has a six to eight hour cycle. Once complete, pull the unit out of the pool, clean the bag and put it away. Costs about $1000.00 and well worth the money. We've had our pool since 1986 and purchased the Dolphin in spring 2005. Best investment we ever made. By the way, get the roll-able caddy with it to store it It appears that there are stores in Ocala, Clermont and Altamonte Springs. Good luck to you.
