We are going to purchase a pool cleaner/vaccum and were shopping around. Does anyone has any insight on a specific brand of pool vaccums? Polaris is a big brand but everyone says that it is quite expensive for the quality.

any comments are appriciated

 

We have had the same Polaris vacume for our pool for the last 7 years with no problems. Expensive, yes, but worth it....

I have never had any experience w/ any other brand.

 

Do the Polaris...they last.

 

Polaris is the way to go.

 

they are a little pricey but mine hasnt let me down.

 

I sell concrete swimming pools and sell the following:

Rayvac Auto pool cleaner



Works good, 75-80% of the pool. Only a few moving parts so it's also cheap, good for smaller free-form shaped pools under 700 sq. ft., uses exsisting pump pressure, can use an a Polaris 360 plumbing stub.

Polaris series



Polaris has been around forever. Works better- 80%+. Requires it's own pump for the 380 and up. 148 moving parts and fails more often. About twice as expensive as the Jandy product.

There are many others but these are by far the best sellers in my state. (MD)
