I have a Polaris, pressure-side pool cleaner. The booster pump, Polaris PB4-60 has failed for the second time in 5 years. I have some choices:
1) Repair the pump. There is power going to the pump but only a weak bubble comes out the cleaner when it's turned on. I suspect a jammed impeller. Is this user serviceable?
2) Replace the pump with yet another. Is there a more reliable booster pump out there?
3) Ditch the Polaris altogether and get a plug-in robotic cleaner. Am I asking for more reliability issues here?
Thoughts?
