I am keeping my Polaris for parts for my neighbor's Polaris repairs. That's its only good use. Meanwhile, you are going to have to manually vacuum those nagging dirt collecting spots regularly.One way to spend your pool service savings is on a robot. Bought mine a year ago based on recommendations here and never looked back.
