i need to buy an auotmatic pool cleaner. i've heard some bad things about the polaris and i'm thinking of going with the kreepy krauly instead. has anyone used these? which one will last longer and work better?

Answer
Two different animals. Kreepy is a suctiom side cleaner. Polaris is pressure side. Polaris makes a bunch of models. Choosing which one is best for you is a challenge in itself. (Polaris also makes a suction side unit, by the way.) Personally I much prefer Kreepy over Polaris. It is simpler. Has one moving part. Easier to repair. Average repair is much cheaper than Polaris. Frankly, when I had my pool store I finally quit selling Polaris products. I wasn't happy with the overall quality of the units. Every one I sold became more of a liability for the store. I'd opt for Kreepy if I were you.

bslevin8

I am wondering what is the best pool cleaner for a fiberglass pool, i have heard many different opinions from stores trying to sell their products, some say baracuda X7 is the best then another store said no way for a fiberglass pool, that i should use polaris. Anyone have any input? what are my options?

Answer
i own a pool company.and have seen many different auto pool cleaners.( 13 years) and by far a polaris would be your best bet.however you would be better off if you by one online as it is cheaper.look for SWIMMING POOL DEALERS. buying one online you cut out the middle man because of the price mark up they have.if you go to a pool store expect to pay a thousand 1000.00 dollars or more.buy it online most of the time it is cheaper

Are there companies that clean above ground pools?

s_contr20

I know there are automatic above ground pool cleaners, but I would like to know if there are those who clean them for you.

Answer
They are out. I'm an example of one of those companies that will clean an above ground pool as that is what we specialize in. Just check through the yellow pages and makes some calls. If they won't do the work ask them if they will recommend someone or know who will do the work. Pool service is kind of a tight niche in a lot of areas and one company will usually know a few others in the area and what they would specialize in or offer as service. Also places like craiglists can be a good place to find local services at low cost, but it's 50 50 to the type of quality service you will get.
