due to an unfortunate, er um, misplacement of my pool sweep. we are now in need of a new one. We had a Polaris unit with the 3 wheels and debris bag on top. It was an okay unit, though looking to see what others like.
Thanks, Scott
I'm a big Polaris fan. I've had other brands but they always need repair more frequently than the Polaris models.
My all time favorite was the -180. I now have a -360 (no booster pump) and it works fine; it is six years old, runs an average of 5 hours a day, 365 days a year with almost no maintenance other than an occasional hose swivel, and of course tail scrubbers and bags. I did have a belt fail so I replaced the belts, tires, and one bearing this week. It still has the original reversing valve. I don't think you can beat this for reliability.
really loves it."
I also have a Hayward pool vacuum that looks pretty much like the one in the picture. We got it in 2005. It has worked just fine.
I have a 180, bought it used 20 years ago. It's still going. Only problem is it gets stuck in the corner by the steps more often then I would like.
You can't do better than the Polaris with booster pump. I have an old 180 that requires parts now and then, but just runs and runs. It's helped me through three hurricanes, which is the worst pool mess you can imagine:
