My 2nd Polaris 280 (in 12 years) needs to be replaced. A friend recommended the Nautilus, but I’m hesitant. I feel 6 years for a cleaner that stays in the pool 24/7 and is on 2 hours a day, the Polaris 280 ( for $579) is a good investment. Although it has it’s problems (getting stuck a lot...

Okay, so now I have a different problem this morning :( The pressure on my pump keeps going up and down. I only noticed because the ozonator makes a lot of noise when the pump first starts up. I kept hearing this and noticed the pressure keeps going from 0 to 10 psi. I don't think the...

Hi, I am new to this forum and to pool ownership. We just put a new saltwater pool in last summer. My question is why are the TA levels from this forum for SWGs (60-80) so different from my manufacturers and the pool store (80-120)? The chlorine levels are higher here too......3-5 versus...
