cabranch Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Polaris 380 all day. Everyone who has one says a Polaris (any type) says that they can't imagine maintaining their pools without one. I just recommend the 380 because I think it's superior to the other types. They are a little pricey, but they are worth it in my opinion.

PoolGuyNJ Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 That would require an over the deck install and a 380 is a sweep, not a robot. An Aquabot will do nicely. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Taylor Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Automatic inground pool cleaners are more powerful, to handle slopes, transitions, and curves. The ability to climb steep inclines, while staying flat on the surface requires more drive train power and more vacuum suction. There are various inground pool cleaners available in the market like Aquabot Robotic in ground pool cleaner and Hayward AquaVac 500 Robotic Cleaner.

Avamill Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 This is the second Polaris 280 for me. The first lasted 7 years and in that time was used every day year-round.My first Polaris 280 spent 4 years living under a giant water oak tree and the tree dropped leaves, acorns, branchlettes, and even a squirrel into the pool almost year-round. It performed admirably for me.Over the years I replaced the tires twice, the float once, all three axles once, the bag a dozen or so times, the part that connects to the pool, the pump once, and the feed tube. The gears finally gave out and I elected to replace rather than repair it. Although, I could have replaced the gears and I’m confident I would have gotten another few years out of it.If you take a few minutes to read the manual and adjust it when you install it your pool maintenance time will be reduced. Make sure to keep the bag emptied and the jet and float adjusted and it’s relatively maintenance free.If I didn’t have this I would probably have filled my pool in with dirt by now. This is an investment and well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
