Polaris pool cleaner for vacuum?????????

[dansdad]

I want a Polaris pool cleaner for my vacuum port in my fiberglass pool. I'm tired of buying pool cleaners that don't last. Any thoughts? Thanks Dave

So the Voyager didn't last?

I made a lengthy reply swimdaddy on the other post we normally converse on please read that and I think our first question may be answered, however I always wanted a Polaris but they are very expensive hence the Voyager. I am not going to chuck the Voyager as yet.

I have a vacuum side cleaner and was wondering the difficulty in installing a booster pump so I can use a Polaris pressure side cleaner. Thanks much Dave. Im doing this as I cant find a vacuum good enough for cleaning. A vacuum port was installed when the pool was put in

My Polaris 280 has been trouble free for 4 seasons now. I'm hoping this means it will be reliable long term.

I had a Polaris pressure-side cleaner. 165? I still have it but haven't used it in, I guess, 10 years. Used to tangle itself up, valve chambers would clog and if I didn't through a handful of loose cotton in each time all the fine stuff would pass through it.

Then I got a robotic and haven't looked back.

Being from CA and I am assuming somewhat sensitive to energy costs, so yourself a favor and don't get a booster cleaner. There are plenty of cleaners that work without boosters. One of the better ones, IMHO, is ThePoolCleaner (http://www.thepoolcleaner.com/pressurepoolcleaner.html). Hayward now owns them and sells their own variant, the AquaNaut (http://www.hayward-pool.com/shop/en/pools/res-cleaners/aquanaut-200--400--i-clscan) but that is a suction side cleaner.
