Hello,

I seem to have no luck when it comes to pressure cleaners. They seem to last me for a season on average. For example, a couple of those cleaners were Hayward Phantoms, which clean wonderfully, but seem to be made of Alka-Seltzer or the Wicked Witch of the West or something. They seem to melt in water for me.

Nothing seems to be wrong with my pool or equipment - except possibly my luck. So, this year I decided to switch to a robotic cleaner. Hopefully I'll have better luck. While I'm waiting for delivery, I have a question:

Do I need to cover the dedicated cleaner line with something? Do they make a plug or something for where the pressure cleaner hose went on the side of the pool? I can turn the booster pump off, but I still hear a whining noise of the water flowing in. Not sure what I am supposed to put there, if anything.

Thanks!
TM

p.s. - I'm replacing a Polaris cleaner and the wall fitting had a little hole in it that may be causing the noise. I'm sure I could remove it, but then I'd have a big hole in the wall.
