Pool owners... in-floor pool system

[Swampa]

I build pools/kitchens/wine cellars for a living. In floors are expensive and don’t clean that well. You’d be better off buying a robotic pr pressure side and investing the rest.

What systems do yall install?

That’s a nice unit! We had our pool plumbed for Polaris vacuum but skipped the pump and unit. That saved us $1,500. Our robot cost $750 so we saved $750 and got a much better cleaning unit that is less maintenance with less electrical bill.

The robotic units are definitely the way to go in my opinion.

Paramount is the only way to go. The rest are not well designed.

Is a Paramount system considered a in floor cleaning system. The house we bought has this & it works just fine. Only one small spot that gathers a small amount of debris.

Yes.

I'll have to check them out.

I've got a in floor cleaning system. It works great. Lots of trees around pool and it keeps up with all the leaves.

Does anyone make a cordless robotic cleaner that self navigates returns to it’s docking station by itself like an iRobot vacuum?

I’m not aware of one and seriously doubt there’s one available. If there is, it’s be at least $3,000. That would be some serious technology!
Mine does self navigate. The first 20 minutes of the cycle, it’s mapping the pool so it knows where it’s been and where it hasn’t. It’s actually pretty impressive.

I did not know that existed 6 years ago when we built our 35,000 gallon cement pond. Sounds pretty cool actually. But I am impressed with our Polaris also.[emoji6]

I have been in the pool biz for 19 years from building to now service/ remodeling (in the liberty hill area btw). The paramount in flooor systems work well if and only if they are setup correctly. Most of the time they are not and you end up with dirty spots which defeats the purpose. I service 52 pools a week and have 2 or 3 with in floor systems and 1 has a Polaris as well because it was a poor design on the in floor system. I have remodeled 4-5 older pools that have the in floor system and the people say they have never worked and ask me to remove the system and plaster over them and set them up with a pressure side Polaris. In my opinion I would not spend the money on the in floor system it’s to many mechanical parts and the heads need replaced every so often and there’s gears and everything else. I’d get a pressure side Polaris 280 and call it a day.

I don’t think they are worth the $

As a pool service guy I personally think there a waste of money. I've never seen one work the way they tell you. All I've seen them do is move dirt from one part of your pool to another. I would recommend a pressure side cleaner and the one I like now is the Polaris Quatro sport. Works awesome. Also would be less expensive then an in-floor cleaning system.

This is what we’re we’re told too. Not worth it. We love our Dolphin nautilus. Way better than the Polaris and climbs the walls.
