Help me choose an Suction side cleaner?

[Rescue30]

I had a Polaris 340, the older version of the Polaris ATV, I liked it more than the Baracuda G4 as I have a vinyl liner and felt the rubber pad of the cleaner just dragging across the pool would ruin the finish .Why don't you have them plumb in a booster pump line for a pressure cleaner , costs a bit more but I feel they do the job much better than the suction models , when the suction ones are installed you lose your skimmer action and if they are putting in a dedicated line for the cleaner , change it to a booster pump line instead.my humble .02

It's worth a shot to ask the builder. Lets see what they say. Thanks!!

If your builder doesn't want to go with the dedicated booster pump line , ask him about a Polaris 360 which runs off one of the return lines.the biggest problem with a suction cleaner is all your dirt will go right into the filter requiring backwashing more frequently, a pressure cleaner or the Polaris 360 will put the dirt in it's own bag .
