excellent buy My old unit decided to take a dump after 20 years of service and although I could have purchased a replacement locally I decided to try the online service and was pleasantly surprised at the service and the price from Amazon, about half the cost of buying the unit here locally plus I saved the sales tax. Shipping was free to top it off and the delivery was only a few days which was no problem at all. The new unit is working flawlessly and my poolman is impressed as well.Pgun66

Terrible materials Lasted for a 18 months and spit in half. The retaining ring that holds both halves together split along the circumference. I have never seen anything like this from a materials perspective.

Garbage I wasted my money buying this more expensive factory unit. Mine failed after just two seasons of use. I pulled it apart this spring because it wasn't working properly and I found a few problems with the running gear inside. As others have pointed out, the bushing that the paddle wheel axle rides in was wallowed out. Mine wasn't bad enough to cause complete failure, but if it got any worse it would have. Furthermore, the stack of gears on the gear reduction shafts were sloppy enough that the bull gear and/or the reduc... read more

Broke in four months I bought this in mid October and it's worked well until 1 March so I only got about four months use out of it. I don't know how much trouble it is to send it back to Polaris. I reluctantly bought another one today. The one prior to this lasted a couple years. May as well buy knock offs.
