My pump died last year, and I replaced it with a Pentair IntelliFlo VS. I love the variable speed feature, but it made my Polaris 360 unusable. I had tried setting it at high speed for a couple hours, and it didn't help as much as I had hoped. I'd like to just get a standalone robot, so I don't have to worry about it. I know most would say to go with the Dolphin S200 (or maybe the S300, if I want the extra bluetooth, etc). I just wanted to see if there is anything else that I should consider. The Polaris units seem interesting (ALPHA iQ+, VRX iQ+, etc), but I don't know if I'm just falling for marketing hype. I'm flexible in terms of cost. I don't mind paying more if it means a better overall product.
I normally would leave the Polaris 360 in the pool at all times. It would run when the pump was on. Is it okay to do the same with this unit, or should it be removed when not in use?
I appreciate any input, suggestions, etc.
