Our old polaris 360 is nearing its end (has been rebuilt many times and is duct taped together right now!). We do NOT have a booster pump. We back to a creek and get a TREMENDOUS amount of leaves and debris. We must have the valves tweaked just right between the beach jets, spa overflow, etc. to get enough pressure for a good spa overflow. When the polaris is running it does affect the flow somewhat. We also have a waterfall feature with an underwater jet but that has its own dedicated pump. We remodeled about 1 1/2 years ago and replaced our filter cartridge to a new Jandy 580. We still have the original jandy aqualink system and are saving to replace that with a new automated system.
Would love some advice, please! Should we
1) just replace the polaris 360?
2) Pony up for a booster pump and get a 380? ... would that help with pressure/power? and if so how much would that cost? or
3) replace with some other cleaner?
The 360 currently plugs into a dedicated side jet (?). We had it with an actuater but when that went bad they just put in a regular valve we can manually turn off and on.
I appreciate any advice and cost estimates as we try to budget for all this. Thank you!!
