Aha! So that gave it enough lift to get over? Thanks for the idea. Why did you choose a 600 over other models?

Thanks for sharing your experiences. You're right separating the pool functions from the robot functions is smart - if the Warden approves.

Thanks for responding. I can't get down there but suspect the fault lies in the cover for my drain. It must be high. I see this same complain about every robot, so only some have it and I guess others have lower covers. It just dawned on me! No that unit did not have Bluetooth. If it did, would...

Thanks Jim, for the thoughtful answer. I wrote a reply earlier, but started a conversation instead of a reply. Hope my robot will be smarter. I see you have a Quantam. I was drawn to that because it cleans the waterline. If not that, a Triton PS. One person on Amazon said he fixed his Premiere...

Thanks for replying. No, it was without wireless. With the Bluetooth, I would have to be there, right? I couldn't program it to avoid the drain area?

I tried out a Pentair Warrior and it got stuck. I was able to return it to Marina. I heard that there is not much difference between the Maytronics models except the plastic body. In spending days reading reviews on Amazon, it seems that every cleaner gets stuck. I bought a device which covers...

While searching for a new robot, saw a post here recommending Marina Pools in CO. They took the time to recommend a cleaner for me. Alas, it was defective and they took it back and refunded my money immediately. They didn't have the model I decided on but they were just as nice. Home - Marina...

Thank you all so much. You really set my mind at ease in telling him no. I think he is just not familiar with the 380 and wanted to eliminate the booster pump. Since I am just learning things was afraid to disagree, but it didn't make sense to me. I truly appreciate this forum and hope...

I have a Polaris 380 with dedicated line connection in pool installed. Having unrelated plumbing problems and pool guy said I need to run a dedicated line for the Polaris to get water and not be 'T''d off the main plubming. I don't see anything about this anywhere. Is he right? Thanks.

Thank you both for the replies. That helped. As a clarification, the concentrations were for the salts, not in the pool. And the chemicals listed were not additions to or additives to the salts, but a natural part of the salts. It is not like adding iodine to processed salts. It is more like the...

This appears to be a great, informative forum with knowledgeable people, so thanks for having it. I am a fan of both Himalayan and Dead Sea salts. I've used both in my hot tub for a year and believe they feel better than regular pool salt. Both help my psoriasis and my wife's osteoarthritis...
