Good stuff, very informational. I love the concept of the robotic cleaners, much more efficient at cleaning and really cut back on energy costs. In the end I went with pressure side for one reason only…..I can keep the cleaner in the pool and just empty the bag when it gets full. Robotic cleaners want to be removed from the pool after each cleaning. I liked the “set it and forget it” route. If you want a pressure side cleaner that doesn’t require a booster then go with the Polaris 360.

That's a great point: they're actually better at cleaning than humans in some regard! Sounds like you like the Polaris and it's working well for you 👍 They're a great brand!

Robotic pool cleaners are still our favorite for above ground pools! Though Polaris makes a great Suction-Side cleaner, too. Here's a list of specific cleaners for above ground pools: www.swimuniversity.com/above-ground-pool-cleaners/

@SwimUniversity So i run a water park, we have hammer head vacuums, auto vacuums, and mini hand ones. One issue inside our curvy lazy river the auto only goes back and forth. The river is way to big for one person to always take a hammer head vacuum to it. what pool vacuum would you recommend. Finances is no problem.

Whomever invented these cleaners deserves a Nobel Prize.! We have had two diffrent types. I would not recommend the bag type. I think they are harder to clean. And get the largest you can afford. Pool opening set for May 6th! I am excited. We are suppose to have 2-6 inches of snow tomorrow!

Can you touch on cordless vaccumes? I have one that doesn't seem to get fine algae out of the pool. Id rather not buy a whole new vacuum if there is a solution like filter socks etc.
@SwimUniversity25 күн бұрын
They really aren't designed to eliminate fine algae, unfortunately. The solution is shocking and better water chemistry first. Then cleaning and running your filter more.

I used to have an aquabot, but they are out of business. I got a dolphin, which is good but the fine filter trap doesn't hold all the dirt like the aquabot fine velcro bags worked. Some of the small dirt always is in the middle of the pool. Any advice?

Whatever you do don’t buy the one without a name that looks like a cool Tonka truck. Ive read that it’s made by Aquafysh , Imitek or Poolelf but you won’t find that on the packaging or product.Its made in China and is yellow with big black wheels and a clear cover. I was lucky, mine lasted a season. I’ve read a lot of reviews stating that theirs only worked a few times and then died.

I built my own and is was cheap and works better than all of these. Buy a submersible pump and a 1 micron bag filter, plus about 5 metres of flexible vacuum pipe. Find a way to attach the long pole to the pump and hag the bag up over the pool...then just use it like a hoover. When the bag is full hose it out. I can clean my 50m3 pool in about 1/2 hour from the poolside. Or I can put a shorter handle on and walk around in the water. Cost be less than £100 for everything.
