I'm new to the forums, and new pool owner of an old pool with issues. Had the pool replastered last month and ran the pump 24/7 all month to remove the plaster dust, and because the pool gets a lot of debris from nearby trees and the main drain is capped. This turned out to be a costly decision. Bought "The Pool Cleaner" and the booster pump died the day it arrived. The question is, do I buy a new booster pump to run the cleaner, or replace the primary pump with a higher HP VS pump and take the booster out of the equation? The primary pump is an Emerson 1HP/1.65SF. It runs The Pool Cleaner by itself at about 7 RPM's as opposed to the recommended 11 RPM. There's a dedicated line for the vacuum. Thanks for the input.
New Booster or New Primary Pump

I'd recommend a new booster pump. With a lot of debris, you can have the cleaner running and the skimmer working at the same time that way.
