Anyone have any recent experience with the Jet Vac Aqua Quip / Pentair JV105 pressure side pool cleaner? I'm hoping to find a more durable (more simplistic) cleaner that can handle our debris load.
We had a Letro Legend in the pool for 15 years that finally died (too many parts to fix) - which we replaced with a whole new one and it went bad within 3 years (compared to the old one, it was did not work right out of the box). Tires disintegrated, wheel stripped out, velcro on the bag failed...etc.
Anyhow, when it worked, it did well.
We have a tough debris profile - sand & small rocks from a nearby unfinished yard, small coastal (hard) oak leaves, bits of banyan tree, bay leaves, and eucalyptus leaves and long strips of bark. So I don't think a robot is going to work well...
The cleaner is run by a ~1Hp booster pump with 3/4" line (too small for a vacuum).
Any other suggestions are welcome
