Hi everyone! First time poster here....
Our pool is roughly 7 years old - our first cleaner was. Pentair Racer - lasted about 5 years then died. It was cheaper to replace it with a Polaris 280. The Polaris just randomly stops working, then if I untangle the cord, it goes back to normal - I've had it looked at and they cannot figure out what the issue is as it shouldn't just stop like this.
I'm contemplating replacing it with a different model - I see a lot of people in this forum are fans of the Doheny Discovery, which would be a completely different kind of cleaner for us. Should we get another pressure side cleaner, or invest in one of the robotic cleaners instead? How long can I keep it in the pool for if we do that? One of the benefits of the pressure side cleaner is that I leave it in the pool pretty much all the time, and being in Texas (with the exception of the crazy Freeze this year), the cleaner can handle long lengths of time in the pool.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
