Robots vs. Manual

[Bleach=Chlorine?]

I just purchased a Polaris Diagnostic. After reading the positive posts concerning Polaris pool cleaning robots I made the move.

Jim,
Are you referring to the Dolphin Diagnostic? If so, it should clean the pool well enough that you can store that brush in the back of the shed. All the Polaris equipment I know of are automatic cleaners that run off pump (not robotic).

Yes I am referring to the Diagnostic. I guess I am not understanding what distinguishes a robotic cleaner from other types and probably misspoke when I described the Diagnostic as a robotic cleaner.

Anyway, thanks for your answer (very reassuring).

Jim,

I don't think Dennis was suggesting that you misspoke when you called the Diagnostic a robotic cleaner (which it is). I think he was clarifying that you meant the Dolphin Diagnostic -- you wrote that it was a Polaris Diagnostic. To my knowledge, Polaris does not make a product called the Diagnostic.

Jim is correct, that is what I was trying to get across. A robotic cleaner has a 'brain' and is electric while an automatic cleaner like a Polaris is more of a 'random' cleaner and does not provide the level of cleaning that a robotic does. If you have the Dolphin Diagnostic I think you will be very pleased.
