    Not understanding the lure of robotic cleaners..

    Had a Polaris 280, got a robot. The robot cleans much, much better. I you'll out at least five handfuls of silt with the fine mesh filter in the robot. I had the fine mesh in my 280 but it doesn't scrub. My pool water has never been cleaner.

    Robotic pool cleaner

    I called them and left two messages for call back in June. Didn't get a call back, I assume they are really busy. I ended up going to Leslie's and getting the Polaris 965iq+. The 3 years of warranty and local store doing the repairs was appealing to me. I have a small independent pool store...

    Polaris robot ultra fine filter is amazing!

    I have had my Polaris 965IQ robot for about a month. I'm very happy with it. It replaced a pressure side Polaris 280 that was years old but well maintained. I thought my Polaris 965 did a good job of cleaning, it looked really clean to me and far better than what my 280 could do. But someone on...

My pool is sparkling clean, far cleaner than it was with the old Polaris 280 pressure side robot. I use a little hand held battery vacuum for the steps and the spa. Works...

    Looking for new robot cleaner

    Ryan, Im at the exact same spot as you. Im ditching my pressure cleaner for a robot. Willing to spend up to $1,600. Want something available in the next month. I'd like it to have fine filters for sand and fine particles. Scrubbing of the floor and waterline is important. Scheduling doesn't...

    Rebuilt my Polaris 280

    Just bought a house with a pool. Never had a pool before. Took a look at the pool cleaner and realized it was completely worn out. It ran in only one wheel, the rubber on the rims was almost worn out. Check out the tail below, it's worn down until two holes opened up due to the material wearing...

    Fabio, I'm no expert but others are. Does your robot not have a filter for fine particles? It just stirs things up?
