I have a Hayward Ultra, and love it. It works on a straight suction line.
I have had it almost three years, and it is still chugging.

I went to a yard sale the other day, and saw a Polaris. My, oh, my. All
the parts, the wheels, it looked like something out of a Jim Carey movie!
The Hayward is soooooooooooooooo simple, and works sooooooooo good. I have
named mine "Poolio."

I got mine for $200 after the rebate. It is just so darn simple, and works
so good. People rave about their Polaris cleaners, but this one only needs
a suction line. No booster pump. If you sit them side by side, you will
see what I mean about it being simple. Every once in a while, I have to
take out four screws and get out a small rock, but that's it.

The Polaris 380 requires a booster pump while the 360 does not. I have the
360 and it works fine here in Georgia.
