We live in the country and have the fire department tanker bring our water. The problem in the beginning is mustard algae. Mustard algae is a very fine dust. After watching this video I'm thinking that I need a vacuum that goes through my pump in order to contain this mustard algae. Please advize.
I need something to pick up the dirt from the mountain that fall inside the pool, I keep brushing the pool and the dirt just move from one side to another and the thing that I use to vacuum is not picking up the dirt. Also something that won’t be that expensive.
Thank you for all the information. I have a question about the new variable speed magnetic pumps and a return side cleaner. Today I have a 1/2 hp pump that runs around 3450 rpm and it runs the return side vacuum fine. The newer pump I am thinking about runs at the most efficient speed of 1600 rpm. Do you believe this is enough to run the return vacuum? The newer pump has higher rpm settings but if I want the vacuum to run for many hours, I want the lower rpm for energy cost savings. Thank you
One consider is steps in pool, some of the products doesn't support steps , it will stuck easily. The problem is, these brands never mention they doesn't support steps, until you buy and use it.
I'm looking to get automatic pool cleaner. My problem is the pool has so much dirt. The pool walls are a 90-degree angle and it is ceramic. The dimensions are 10 meters long and 2meters high and 5-meters width. It is an inground pool. My budget is up to $500. What is your recommendation? Thank you in advance
I have used the Polaris ATV since 2003 and I've been thru 2 brand new units and 3 motors. I'm tired of them. Do I need to run the robotics everyday or every other day and also do I have to take them of of the pool after use? I'm thinking about the MX8 and after watching your reviews now considering the robots. Thanks
olortiz mx8 is trash, if you like to net your pool the mx8 is the way to go. The best suction cleaner is "the pool cleaner" . 2x for smaller pools 4x for larger.
Hey man, you could collab with a sailing channel and test which one of these units was happy to buff the underside of a boat without falling off! It'd be fun!
I have owned two different Polaris robots, terrible! Constantly in the shop, switching back to pressure side this season. The new Polaris Quattro has most of the benefits of a robot without the electronics to fail, I may try that or go with trusted p280.
I strongly disagree with your assement of pressure-side cleaners. Although they do not directly pull dirt into your filter system they do push it up off of the floor to be pick-up by the skimmers into your filter system. So technically, they DO put dirt into your filter system. Otherwise, Where Does Dirt Go? I like Polaris BUT, they are damned expensive to run and maintain!
Robot pool cleaners are trash. I've never seen one that worked well in 15 years working on pools. They require too much input from the pool owner, the need to be cleaned almost every day to work and the cords tangle to the point of missing most of the pool. Most retailers will say robots let you run your filtration system less because the robot will filter the water as it runs. This is total BS. If your pool is plumed for a suction sweep, use "the pool cleaner" 2x or 4x depending on pool size. If your pool is plumbed for a pressure sweep with a booster pump, go with a polaris 280 or 3900 sport. Read the instructions carefully and cut the hoses properly for your pool or the polaris units will tangle badly, it helps to leave the hose stretched out straight in the sun for a day or so to take the memory out the hoses as well. If your system is plumbed for an energy type sweep (pressure sweep that uses the main filter pump for pressure instead of a separate boosterpump) go with a polaris 360. Hope this helps.
Do you guys use hayward robotic pools ? i am thinking to buy one as our pump is a Hayward and we never had any issues with it.. Hayward is also a "big" brand so i assume the quality of the pool robot would be ok? I found this review on youtube: ruclips.net/video/XqHxzmtHIj4/видео.html but if some people that have a hayward robot could comments please it would be great... Thank you guys.
The Polaris 9550 is an absolute piece of junk. Yep, looks really nice in a clear pool. People buy this unit to impress the neighbors, not to keep their pools clean, unless keeping your pool clean means having to deal with half a dozen leaves falling in each week that the skimmer doesn't pick up. Try getting it to clean a pool with some leaves and debris and watch as the 'jet engine' blows everything behind it up into the water and create clouds that will settle back down later and make it look like it never did anything to begin with. The thing barely picks up anything at all before it starts signaling that its full. Used it for a week and eventually went and got a simple $30 attachment to go on the end of the pool pole with a hose attached to the skimmer suction. In half an hour I cleaned up everything that this piece of crap couldn't manage in a week. People should file a class action law suit against Polaris for foisting an expensive piece of garbage on the public that they clearly never bothered testing properly. We bought it without even checking for reviews because we'd always been told that Polaris was the Rolls-Royce of pool cleaners. Selling this is virtually criminal because it doesn't do the job it's supposed to be designed for. Check around for other review sites. The complaints are everywhere about how this clouds up the water via the manner in which the exhaust port blows directly across the bottom of the pool as the unit moves about. If clouding up the water enough that the pool's own filtration system ends up cleaning the water then, yeah, the Polaris cleans the pool.
Thanks this is the information I needed . I wanted to use these to suck fine sediments in large storage in ground water tanks without effecting rest of water in the tank. Looks like most of them won't do that job. Any recommendations?

So if I buy a above ground pool from like Walmart could I use a polaris 360 with a Coleman pool 18×20
Can these clean mild fine sediments in in ground water tanks without dispersing the sediment.
Is there a robotic cleaner designed specifically for concrete pools instead of liner? My concern is quick wear on the brushes.,
Thank you for this information. You saved me a lot of time and money.
Besides cleaning the pool what else should one do?

Are any one of the types you mentioned better for pools with a liner or would any of them do the job?
If you are going to run a timer two times a day for 12 hours what times would you run it during?
One consider is steps in pool,
some of the products doesn't support steps , it will stuck easily.
The problem is, these brands never mention they doesn't support steps, until you buy and use it.
Really informative.
Thank You I just learned the differences in the various styles of cleaners and know to eliminate one right off my list!
If I get one of these pricey robotic cleaners
Do I still have to manually sweep the pool ?
Can I used In ground robot pool cleaner on a Above ground pool?
What pressure side pool cleaners would you recommend without a booster pump?
Which robot do you recommend for pebbletec pool?
Thanks

They will not buff the underside of a boat LOL
Recommendation for fiberglass pool?

Is this sponsered by Polaris since that's the only brand you mention (and more than once)?

Awesome info!
I wanted to get the Dolphin Quantum pool cleaner for a 20 X 40 pool have you heard anything whether its good or not?
polaris for the win

You didn't include infloor pop ups. Just saying
You're right. I didn't. They're rare, but I should have.

I just need to know what is the difference in the Pentair GW8000 and the Pentair 360100 Lil Shark pool cleaners?
How does the pool cleaner compare to the kreepy krauly suction side cleaners with the flappy discs?
Do you guys use hayward robotic pools ? i am thinking to buy one as our pump is a Hayward and we never had any issues with it..

In other words, you highly recommend a pool cleaner. Really?
that is a lot of shit publicity
Just no to this video, just no.
Im hearing Dick Dale.
