We have a number of users who LOVE their carts and have mastered cleaning them easily. Personally, I'd rather have root canal, but...like anything, if you KNOW how to do it right it works!

?#2. With a 2 speed, you can toggle lo/hi OR you can just run on low all the time, except when cleaning or backwashing.

?#3. Filter spruce up: Open, check, and probably, add sand.

?#5. Replacing the motor on a Super Pump is an acceptable option AND that motor has a manual toggle (I think!)
My 2 speed SuperPump has a toggle switch on the back end of motor.

?#6. Dunno about those. CarlD likes his; the ones I've seen sucked . . . and not in a good way.
My Blue Diamond Wireless Remote has been a really good unit for me. The Dolphin Dynamic I had before it worked great for 2 years, then never worked right again, nor did the replacement they sent me.

When the BD broke down, the warranty coverage and repair was terrific! Fast and friendly and it's been fine ever since, now over 5 years.
