the product came as described by the seller however it puts to much water back into your pool and it does not suck out algae.. And that's why most people purchase a vacuum for the pool so if you're looking to clear up algae I do not recommend this product I would recommend 1 that hooks up directly into your pool pump filter system.. if you're just looking for something to pick up leaves of the bottom of your pool it's a great product.. the only thing is the little cheese cloth bag doesn't do a good job on its own so you would need to add some nylon pantyhose to that as well.
