| Suction Side Models
If your pool does NOT have a
booster pump, but DOES have a dedicated pool sweep line on the
suction side, you have some good options as well.
Kreepy
Krauly
Barracuda
Polaris
340
Since these cleaners
are dependent on the suction pressure of the pump, their operation
will be hindered by low flow. For instance if the pump
basket is clogged or the poolsweep needs backwashing, the flow to
the poolsweep will be lowered and it will not function as well. If
a pool has a dedicated pool cleaner line, that line can be
converted to either a pressure or suction line, depending on the
type of cleaner you prefer. With a dedicated line, you
always have the option to install a Polaris 280 or equivalent
(requires installation of a time clock and booster pump as well).
