People do not realize how beholden we are to Chinese junk, and how pervasive it has become in our daily lives. I make a conscious decision to avoid at all costs anything made in China. As far as the backup valve, (it is at a remote location) when I am next there, I am going to remove it and...

Thank you!

I opted for the same…after 30+ hours in the pool it had accomplished nada.

Thanks 1poolman1 The main problem with each of the “mechanisms” is that the small gear is being stripped. mechanical failure. The wall screen is in place, and cleaned each time the collection bag is emptied. As to the restrictor plates, they are not in use, and have not been since I acquired...

Greetings…. I have a Polaris 380 with the G52 backup valve. I have replaced the G53 “mechanism” three times, and am hesitant of the aftermarket Chinese Crud that is out there. Has anyone experienced similar problems? What is the answer? Sandy

“crud” was the moderators slant, not mine 😁

Greetings…. I have an in ground pool with a Polaris 380 cleaner… I have become aware that the foam scrubber at the end of the sweep hose is instrumental, in keeping the sweep hose working as designed. That having been said, I fell victim to the cheap (Chinese Crud) that you find on the internet...

Thanks for your response ajw22 I run it 2 - 3 hours nightly until the air temp drops (winter) and then once a week as needed, and it does quite well. The booster pump is a Polaris PB 4-60

(Heavy dust load, near a gravel road. I am considering pulling the trigger on a Dolphin Nautilus CC or possibly a Plus. My...

Greetings everyone… Just recently I found that my trusty Pentair Kreepy Krawley was not acting as normal ( not sealing and moving ) I pulled it out of the pool and quickly realized that the “pleated seal” was shot. Fortunately I had a “starfish” seal that had come with it, so I swapped them out...

Greetings…. I have a Polaris 380 that works fairly decent, but I have one troubling problem. It does not clean the top faces of the steps. I will try and post a picture. Any thoughts how to rectify? Thanks….. Sandy

I’m glad I posted this question, as I had no idea how things have progressed... I am now wondering if a robot may be for me? I have as I originally stated, and inground pool, I think around 18 - 20,000 gallons. The pool is located at a property in the foothills of the Sierra’s in Central...

Greetings... I have an inground pool with a pressure side system, and I currently have a Polaris 380S that has been in service for about 5 years. I am anticipating replacement in the near future, and am interested in some different suggestions for a possible replacement. I have no real...

Thanks to all.... Sandy

The reason I am hesitant to turn off the breaker, is that I was told that there was a good possibility that I would lose settings.

Not sure if I’m in the right place, but I have a Pentair Easy Touch PL4/PSL4 controller for my pool and spa. I have done some tile work, and would like to shut everything down for a couple of days, but I can’t seem to find anyone (Pentair included) who can tell me how to secure (shut down)...
