all, I’ve been researching robotic pool vacuums for some time now and thought I had it narrowed down to one. I’ve seen repeatedly that dolphin robots are more reliable and better than Polaris ones, namely on reddit and other comparison sites (unless clearly sponsored). Today I went into a store to purchase the Dolphin Active 20, which was the one chosen for its features for the price… namely a good sized debris container with different sized filters, corded, and waterline included.

I am a new pool owner. My pool is 25' x 15'. Is any robotic pool cleaner could cover this size? It is better to be cordless, and I do not care budget ..read more

I bought this cleaner and it has great reviews. I assembled it and when i first turned on the pump it was cleaning very nicely, howveer after like 30 seconds it stopped cleaning. I have no idea why it stopped cleaning. It was moving fine while it was auto priming. Very confused ..read more

It had been working fine ever... Read more ..read more

My Polaris 280 needs to be refreshed. The rebuild kit cost about $120 less than a new 360. The 360 says it doesnt need a booster pump. Would I be okay with getting a new 360? Will the 360 run better if the booster pump is running? Thanks ..read more

Hello all, I purchased Polaris VRX IQ+ today from Leslie’s as Polaris days sale is ongoing currently in my area. I unboxed it and tried the smart cycle. It’s an impressive unit. Throughly impressed with its cleaning ability, wall, waterline cleaning. I think I found the robot I need but we will see how long it lasts. However, I have the below question. I see a rectangular styrofoam kind of thing when you open the lid of the robot. See attached picture. Do you all know if I need to keep it... Read more ..read more

My Polaris cleaner is making a high pitched sound while running. It is coming from the pressure relief valve. If I close the valve all the way it’s fairly loud. If I loosen the valve it gets quieter, but still is audible . I have read that the valve should be closed all the way. I have taken it apart and rinsed it out. Does it just need to be replaced ..read more
