    BTW, I am on my second Rayvac. Nice unit when it works, it just seems to wear quickly.

    Any pressure side, non-booster pump cleaner should be a fit for Ray-Vac.

    I just replaced my RayVac with a Polaris 360. Just had to replace the hose fitting in the return. I got my Polaris on eBay for a great price.

    I tried the Polaris and I liked the RayVac better. Maybe I didn't have the 360 though? I don't remember which model I had.

    My RayVac is attached to an outlet on the side of the pool, so I'm guessing that is the return line. I will do some research on return line type of automatic cleaners, then -- including the Polaris 360.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Elias: I had the complete opposite experience. We just completed our pool this Spring and the builder "threw in" the Ray-Vac. It would get stuck by the steps and never leave. It would back up, then go straight back where it was. Sold it and bought the Polaris. It never gets stuck and does a much better job (imo) cleaning the bottom. I guess it really matters on the shape of the pool.

    Ordered a Polaris 360 on ebay for 350 clams. Can't wait to test drive that puppy
