I fired pool service.  Blamed it on my equipment and I said no way.  It's clear over night.  Poured in 36,000 gls inground pool, at night, running pump all night.  Will clean filter tomorrow and clean again in one week.  Who needs a pool service!

fast shipping. I started replacing worn out parts only to have the main body/chassis of "the Pool cleaner" break apart. too many years in the pool with chlorine and sun and it became brittle.  might make more sense to replace pool sweeper with a new one which I will be doing, it will be cheaper.

I wasn't getting enough suction to run my pool vacuum.  Replaced my pump lid and the o-ring and my pump is working great again.  Local pool guys told me I needed to replace my pump and filter, this saved me many dollars.

We have found the connections are not snug and so some air leaks into the tubes and this impact the performance of the pool vac.  We identified some of the connections have been malformed in the manufacturer process.

Cons:
The problem I had was the user manual. It's missing lot of important info. So if you are trying to do it yourself with the manual,  you are out of luck! I was able to hire a pro pool guy and install it for me for $80 (well worth the money!!!). Look for pool company not electrician. Normally electrician companies don't install pool lights.
Here are the problem with the user manual(Manufacture needs to improve it!)
1 ) It does NOT have explanation or description of all the parts that come with the box.
2 ) It has the wrong lamp replacement instruction. It is for Incandescent Pool Light. It should have ben for LED pool light.
3 ) The manual doesn't have step by step instruction on how all the parts should be used and put together.

Pros:
If you hire a pro pool guys. You are good to go! The labor itself is ONLY $80 for 4 hours of work! My pool guy supplied 110AC to 12VDC 60W transformer (with light sensor and 2, 6, 8, hour auto shut) and helped replace a new light switch and socket for my exterior socket (it was worn out. Not part of the pool light). It totaled $125. So my totally cost for upgrading to LED is $139.9 + $125 = $265!! Half the price from Pentair LED $529+$125 install = $654. That's $389 saved!!!!

This thing came OEM stock on my computer. I had a bad pool caller. Apparently what that is something outdated, most likely a driver is incompatible with my computer and causing my bsod. Well, everything in my computer came stock, bar bones. So I have no idea what it was. Tried to create a memory dump to find inconsistencies..but couldn't'. Cause it as stuck in a bootloop.

Thanks MS

If your Polaris pool cleaner seems like it doesn't have the power it once had, start here.  There should only be very little water pressure coming out while running.  If it feels like it's "gushing" you know the spring has worn out.

I gave a bad review because of the high failure rate of this part and the price.

I think you could fill the opening with some two-part epoxy and fix the old one by just stopping it up.  That will probably be what I do next time.  Or maybe find a PVC cap and maybe drill a tiny hole.

Ordered this model Intex pool.  To keep things short and sweet here is my honest opinion.  Upon taking delivery of the pool my wife and I were able to errect the pool very easily. However after reading and rereading the manuals figuring out the correct configuration of the pumps and hoses was nothing less than a pain.  The instructions and manuals from Intex are absolute junk and the only way I was able to correctly set it up was by speaking to my neighbor who also had one.  Intex customer service is HORRIBLE!  Once hooked up my pump/saltwater generator unit did not work at all.  Called Intex which wasted my time.  Called Amazon who did the right thing and sent me a new pump.  2nd pump unit also didn't work right at first.  Finally after letting it sit for a day or two I hooked it all back up and it functioned.  We do very much enjoy the pool but what a hassle to have to deal with

I had a previous model of the Above Ground Hayward Induced Natural Gas Draft Heater for 11 years before it needed a replacement.
However the same reliability is not true for its replacement (Hayward model H100ID1).  The unit is two years old and it worked without incident until last week.  When I turned it on there was a loud pop and flashback from the exhaust, the flame was a foot high.  I shut everything off overnight.  By morning I lost several inches of water in the pool, due to a leak in the heater, but from where?  I called several plumbers, but they refused to touch it.  Finally I got one that  specializes in heaters and was told It was the heat exchanger that failed because of the pool's chemistry.  Without testing the water he told me it was due the water's high acidity eroded the coils.  This was BS because I had not experienced a similar situation in the previous model after 11 years.  As a mechanical engineer I know a poor design, this should have taken that into consideration.  To add salt to the wounds the plumber quoted a price of $650 for a replacement heat exchanger, which was the same price I plaid for the entire unit in 2012.  Further the plumber told me I can buy a new unit for over $1,000.  I put my MBA to good use  and told him I can buy the darned thing for $650.  When I called Hayward I was told they couldn't do anything about it since it is out of warranty, but gave me the names of several plumbers who could service it.  when I called the first three on the list they told me they were too busy and gave me the name of a plumber who could handle it.  It was the same plumber that came to my house.  Given all the complaints I have read i'm surprised that Hayward is still in business.
The design at first blush is very attractive, with good features and electronics.  However, Hayward's choice of materials for the most expensive item in the box leaves a lot to be desired.

I was having a pond company open and close my pond yearly.  They insisted the bulbs for the UV light was very expensive and delicate.  They overcharged me for years.  Once they dropped a pond vacuum in my pond and shorted out my electric, not to mention the fish I lost, I opted to handle the UV light and storage and now the opening and closing of my pond.  Yes, I was a sucker, busy, but still a sucker/  Goodbye Doughtery's Pond Center.  Hello savings....and my fish are still alive...

My heater appears to have been an item that was sold and returned and resold to me. It was damaged when I got it. several of the screws on the top cover were missing indicating someone tried to fix whatever was wrong with it. The unit would not run despite having gas and electric properly hooked up to it. I was able to fix it but at great time and expense. Unit makes a lot of noise and vibrates. I decided to give up on it and disconnected it. I attempted to resolve the issue with customer service and they weren't helpful.  I wasted my money.

I paid a professional shop to install it and it leaked from 2 different locations (swedged heater fittings). I had to pay to have it removed and a different pump installed.

The old pump had gotten VERY loud, as the bearings were on their way to failing. I ordered this and was impressed at the fact that the kit includes everything necessary to connect to the pool plumbing; specifically, the flexible tubing and quick connects were all in the box.

If your Polaris booster pump is failing, I'd suggest trying to fix it yourself. It's really a trivial operation. Make sure that you turn off ALL of the power to your pool equipment AT THE BREAKER. You'll be dealing with some cabling that carries dangerous amounts of electricity. You MUST ensure that the power is off before proceeding. But, after you've got the power off, just open up the connector panel on the back of the old pump. I recommend taking a photo with your phone to help remember which wire goes where. Inside you'll find spade connectors; there are three that have external connections and many others that are used, only, internal to the motor. So, find the ones that go externally and pull them off of their posts.

At this point, I thought it easier to remove the existing quick-connects and flexible tubing so that I could move the motor more easily. Slip out the red clips, pull the retaining ring down into the space that the red ring had filled and you should be able to wiggle the tubing off. If your motor shares a common ground with other motors, it's probably easier to remove the ground clip from the back of the motor and use the old ground clip on the new motor. After that, you'll just remove the conduit and swap out the motor.

I used the old flexible hoses as guides for cutting the new hose, reconnected the spade connectors as they were in the photo that I took on my phone, and connected the quick connects to the flexible hosing. One piece of advice in this step - you might want to try a little Vaseline to get the hoses to slip onto the new quick connect clips; they're quite snug. After that, insert the red clips, put the cover on the back of the motor and you should be ready to go.

Tools needed: screwdriver, ~1/4" socket, box cutter, silicone sealant
Time: shouldn't take more than an hour

I bought this in April. I had to drain my pool and get a new liner too. We didn't start until the end of May. We got the pool filled (12000 gallons) and then tried to put this on.  Although the instructions had you putting pieces together, mine were somewhat done. The problem is, we got it put on and realized they didn't put two pieces of connectors in. Off to the pool place to spend 44 more dollars. Then, after we fixed that, we realized they didn't put the o-ring in for the filter. Ironically, you can't buy these anywhere AND they are sold out at their website. It I could, I would send this back in a second. I am going to lose all of my water or I am going to have to buy another system. Stay away. Although this one has decent reviews, look at the same products reviews from other Intex salt systems. I should have researched more. Oh, by the way, all I get is a machine when I call.

I need to return it. About 2 days after I put it in my pool it quit working. When I inspected the unit I found water in the battery compartment on the device that floats in the pool. I cleaned it up and dried it out, got it working again. It has now quit again, I need to send back for a refund. Can you send me the info to do this please.

Saved me a lot of money.  Pool guys were saying i needed a new pump.  The pump was very sluggish to fire up and would require 5 or 6 tries from the timer before coming on.  Replaced the start capacitor and it fires up every time.  Much cheaper than a new pump.
