Does it operate independent of the pool pump?

no it works with the suction from your filter pump. connect to the skimmer or if u have a independent suction pipe in the middle of your pool then ajust valves for maxperformance.

No it runs off the pool pump but even with low pressure it does a great job.

Yes it does. I use this pump only to load other pump. After that i shut down this one i keep the high speed pump running.

It runs off of suction, where as most in ground pools use "return" pressure as the source for the cleaner...so my answer would be "no".

No, but we have the intex pool and you just use the hoses on the pool. It was a very good bargain for us. Half the price on Amazon. It helps keep the pool cleaner.

Based on other feedback and reviews I have seen I would not recommend that. There is a circuit board in this pump that controls all of the various operations and I have read reviews that stated if it gets wet/damaged, the pump is not operational. I have my pump in a pool equipment shed along with the filter and heater and even with that, during the winter months I will be covering the pump in plastic to ensure it does not get wet/damp.

I a believe it does Yvonne. I put it in as a designated line which I can keep running or throw a switch on the post. Sorry..I'm not technical, but I believe there is a on/off switch on the pump...but would not advise using it that way.

Yes it will. That is what the two timers are for: one to operate your main pool pump and the other for your booster pump to operate your pool sweep. They can be set independently.There are also punch-outs to install two on-off switches (e.g., a master power switch for the entire unit, or individual switched to each timer) on the inside and an outside punch out to install an electrical outlet. Those are optional. I would recommend getting an electrician to install it. George Stanley

No. Everything required for the Polaris to operate within the pool is included. It is expected that a booster pump connection is supplied and available about midway along the long edge of the pool. This extra pressure drives the mechanism within the Polaris as well as a jet of water that provides the negative pressure on the bottom of of the Polaris that draws material off the bottom of the pool. I hope this answered your question.

I don't think so. It works in the opposite way, when the float rises sufficiently it turns on the power that activates the sump pump, so I think it is doing the exact opposite of what you want.

i dont know what you have right now but it has a hose attachment that screws onto the inside of the pool onto the pump suction port and you dont have to use it all of the time as you simply pull the hose off when you dont need or dont want to use it or you can leave it on all of the time...works great!

You must remove it to use the pool. Very east to do. Our cleaner does not set it off.

It will run a pool pump and the polaris pump at the same time and you can set the polaris cut off at a different time

This is operated off of your house power and not your pool power like other ones. It also does the walls. I have seen ones that do a better job, but for this price range I am very happy with mine.

I just plugged mine into the suction outlet in my pool and it works great. It did not need anything else.

No it is not. It just works off you pool filter motor and cleans the water that is in the pool.

No, but you don't one the pool unfolds. I have three dogs and they love it.

yes it has a float switch built in so when the level of water gets to a set level it turns on the pump to remove the water.
