F. W. Fisher: This unit lasts about 4 yrs before you have to begin rebuilding. Properly adjusted it climbs the walls and does not get stuck on bottom drain covers. Have tried others but always come back to this unit. My only complaint is that the vac hoses almost never wear out and I now have about 80 ft of hose. wish they sold the unit without hose. Will keep buying this and would recommend this to friends

Lauren: The media could not be loaded.  Ok we love this thing! The only reason I gave a 4 is because this is not ideal for curved pools in my opinion. KRAULY has made our life so much easier; however, she does not like to go to the shallow end. We get in the pool once a day and bring her to the shallow end but she def favors the deep end. I read you can add weights to the line and that will help just haven’t tried it yet. Our drain in the deep end is a little tall so she gets stuck on that often until she does her 360’s and gets off of it! We only run our pump 2x a day for a total of 5.5 hours a day B/C we live in the USVI and utilities are EXTREMELY expensive. So I’m sure if we ran it 24 hours a day it would make it to the shallow end more often. Also, if our pool was square KRAULY would make it up the walls much easier but in all of the curves she loses suction falls to the bottom and tries again. With all of that said, it’s was WELL worth the investment and we barely ever have to brush the side of the pool!!

Bob from LA: I purchased the Pentair Great White two months ago. I made my purchase after reading the reviews on Amazon for several pool cleaners. They were tremendously helpful in making the right choice. I am repaying what I owe by sharing what I've learned.

We have a tough pool. I maintain it myself because pool guys take one look and quote an outrageous price. We live at the very northern end of the Los Angeles basin, nestled against the mountains that form the basin's northern border. It's a beautiful place to live, but several times a year the Santa Ana winds come, and during those times, the pool needs attention every day. Our property is ringed by eight huge pines that are beautiful and I would never dream of cutting down, but when the winds come, our pool fills up with pine needles first, then pine pellets a couple of weeks later. The winds also scrape dirt off the bare spots in the mountains and dump it in the pool. One day's wind is enough to turn the blue bottom brown.

I had a Hayward Navigator for about five years. It worked most of the time, but it wasn't a set-it-and-leave-it device. We have a rectangular 40x20 pool with semicircular steps in one corner. The...

Joshua B: Lets start by saying this is a great product thus far. From the first time in the pool, it has never been so clean.

QUICK NOTE... Amazon page does not say it but there is a one hundred (100) rebate if you goto manufactures website.

There are a lot of options when considering a pool vacuum. Mine was mainly wanting one that worked but not costing and arm and leg. The Great White is exactly that.

Simple setup (real simple) and just let it go. It says in a 6 hour window it will cover your entire pool but i have seen it in about half that time.

Some reviews mention vacuums of all kinds getting stuck. With this one just wait 1-2 minutes and it will turn itself around (designed that way). It also is designed to spend majority of time in deep end as that is where most dirt and leaves gather in pools... it will get to your shallow end though.

ONE THING TO NOTE: My pool has a shallow and deep end (9 feet). The deep end has slanted sides that come up to main side wall at about 3 feet from top of pool. Where that meets there is a crease (not rounded like a bowl but a crevous). The Great White and most vacuums will not climb the wall in this case. The incline...
