The G59 is described as a “double acting” backup valve. It runs twice as fast and backs up the cleaner more frequently.
The G52 is said to backup every 2 1/2 minutes. The G59 backups approximately every 1 minute 45 seconds.
I think the G59 is used in smaller pools where the cleaner gets stuck in a corner more frequently.

There are threads about folks hacking the backup valve to change the timing.
