After changing tiles, I have lots of tile/thinset debris on the bottom of the concrete pool.
Robot cleaner does not pick it up, since they are too heavy for it.
I did try to manually vacuum it by placing a hose into a skimmer. While a suction from a skimmer is ok, and it does pick up some of it, the system (pool pvc pipes) get clogged with tile debris, which tells me it is not the right way to go.
Did some diving and cleaning manually, but it just too much to clean by hand.
I can see that there are autonomous vacuum cleaners such as this, but not sure they are going to do any better than my dolphin..
What are the other things I can try, or maybe I am missing something and there are known ways to do it which I have not tried without clogging the pool system?

You have two choices:
Drain Pool and it hit with a scooper, shop vac, and broom. If refilling it isn't a big deal this is definitely the fastest way by far.
Buy something like a pool leaf eater . You will still have to scoop out the big stuff. I have used a simple plastic dust pan to do this. This process will keep you swimming but could take 10 vacuums over the course of a few weeks to get everything out.
