Booster Pump? Does this ship with the booster pump as well?
1746939
Some of the reviewers state that they connected the cleaner directly to the output valve from their existing pump, no booster used. What is the risk of doing so?Having to buy the booster pump as well puts this cleaner in the same cost category as the robotic cleaners, which seem to do a better job, no?

I already have a booster pump for the jacuzzi and right now my pool guy is connecting the cleaner to a pipe connected to the filter pump (variable speed). So I have a valve that controls the flow of water to the cleaner and to the swimming water filtering circuit. I already have 4 pumps (filter, waterfall, slide, and booster) and I no longer have the space to add another pump. I think I am going to take your recommendation for which I thank you and purchase the 360. Any comments from you on this approach will be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Excuse my ignorance here, I always had to rely on my pool maintenance guy to take care of my pool. I have an odd-shaped pool with a beach type entrance and the pentair cleaner is always stuck in a corner. I am thinking of replacing with this highly rated Polaris 280. My question is regarding the booster pump, is it required. Right now, my cleaner is connected to the filter pump. I have booster pumps for the jacuzzi and water falls. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think the 280 would perform correctly without the booster pump, after all, it was designed to work with the booster pump. The 360 is designed to work without a booster pump and would probably be a better choice for those who do not wish to add a booster pump.In my case, I already had a booster pump and a dedicated line from a previous cleaner (Hayward Viper), so I chose the 280 and have been happy with it so far.

No, it does not come with an air pump. It comes with a water pump. At least the one I received. I would not advice purchase of this product as mine, the aquarium, came cracked and one of the bulbs which are left to move freely inside the tank during shipment was broken. It was a b-day present for my daughter which when unpacking revealed we would not be use it as intended. I went to a local Petco and bought a new tank. I was fortunate the hood matched. With the packaging the product is shipped I would not recommened to any one pruchasing it this way.

I haven't opened it yet, but I know for sure that it does come with a carrying bag and pump. As for the paddle, I think it does, but am not 100% sure!

yes it does. I have had several High pressure pumps for my SeaEagle inflatable boats. This is the quickest and best. A bit noisy. Does a good job. A good buy.

You don't need the second booster. Either don't order it ,or if you already have purchased it, sell it here or on Ebay.

No, mine did not come with a built in pump. It did come with a pump that was relatively easy to use and filled it quickly but it was not built in.

Yes it does. This has got to be the best booster pack I've used. One downfall is that it weights about 45 lbs. other than that it's a great product. And Amazon has the best price I've found.

Yes it does. Got mine hooked up to 220 for the filter pump and booster pump. Wired it myself with no problems.

It does not come with a pump, it blows up like a balloon. I have asthma and was able to blow it up firm enough for my son.

I've had the item for 5 months now and it has lasted, however, I made the mistake of thinking I needed the permeate pump when I actually needed the booster pump. The permeate pump requires 75 psi to work and so the effect will be the same result as you have experienced unless you install a booster pump. I would tell you to go with the booster pump first and then get the permeate pump.

My last order did not come with pumps, which is most likely the seller you are inquiring about. I buy this product from a different seller each time and most do include the pumps. Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer, I just reuse my old pumps if they don't send them.

Yes and no, it comes with everything you need but a "Presta valve" compatible pump, but it can't be launched without the pump.

RO systems need decent pressure to function properly. The booster pump will allow the system to work properly if you have lower or inconsistent water pressure. It may allow the system to replenish faster and have better pressure to your faucet or other point of use.

It does have a sweeping action and no, it does not need a booster pump. It runs on the suction side of the pump system.
