I'm on by third Polaris 360 in 25 years, so they've been pretty good to me. I do seem to have problems regularly with them not going, or floating to the top, or generally just getting stuck for a while. Right now, this one doesn't want to go (But will if I take it out and spin the wheels a bit by hand), and the top of the case broke off completely so I can see inside it! I don't know if that hurts anything or not, or how expensive or difficult that will be to fix.
I am considering a new cleaner. I've heard lots of great things about the Dolphin S200 on here. My pool doesn't have a booster pump, the Polaris 360s just run on a return line. So, I'm looking for opinions here:
1. Is it worth trying to fix/rebuild this 7 year old Polaris 360?
2. If I go to a new cleaner, should I plan on installing a booster pump and how hard is that?
3. What's a good unit to go to, with or without a pump?
