I've got a very old PB4-60Q Polaris booster pump. It needs replacing, so I was wondering what would be the better replacement. Should I stick with a Polaris PB4-60 or maybe go to a Pentair or Hayworth? Originally I had a polaris 280 and replaced that with the Pentair Kreepy Krauler Racer. Also, during the last 10 years I've converted to a salt water system. Pool is 20x40 Grecian L (32000 gallons) inground.

I’ve been very happy with my Hayward booster pump.

It’s very quiet and works well with my Polaris 280 cleaner.

^^^^ Agree. Every Polaris pump I ever heard was very noisy. I replaced my PB4-60 with the Hayward 6060. The Hayward has been quiet and reliable.
I have a Pentair booster pump. Been very reliable for 6 years but is noisy when running
Welcome to the forum 
I know you didn't ask but buying a robot and ditching your pressure side cleaner would be a really better alternative in several ways.

I agree with duraleigh, remove pump and get a robot. Less power consumption and quieter. First thing I did when upgrading to autoautomation.
