  • Great for pools that get lots of leaves
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 Navigator would hang up on those steps every time. It might take 5 minutes, it might take 45 minutes, but sooner or later you had to run out and clear it. It also spent a lot of time in the shop, sometimes multiple visits for the same problem. Finally after five years it started running in small circles and the guys at Leslie's Pool just threw up their hands. Since the Navigator, we tried two other cleaners, one expensive and one cheap. Neither worked. I asked around at several different pool shops for a cleaner that wouldn't get hung up on our steps, and the Baracuda MX-8 was mentioned several times. Luckily, I read the reviews here before buying it, as it seems a heavy leaf load will strip out the MX-8's gears. I tried the Great White based on the reviews, and it has been just great. It's a very simple mechanism but it works well for my difficult pool. It has yet to get hung up on the steps. Whenever it gets stuck on anything, it starts to spin and eventually pull itself off. My steps give it no trouble at all, but the circular cap on the pool drain confuses it. It'll take several minutes to clear itself, but it always does. The manual said to vacuum the pool thoroughly before the setting the Great White off on its maiden voyage, but I needed a tough test fast to decide whether I was going to keep it, so I gave it its first test on a day after the worst Santa Ana winds we've had in 2-3 years. The pool was full of needles, leaves, small pine branches, twigs, etc. It cleaned the whole thing. I had to take it out of the pool three times to remove a jam of leaves and twigs, but that's easy to do. Also, the clear hose really helps in telling where the jam is. It won't swallow the branches, but it doesn't get hung up on them either. When it finished its run, the pool was clean except for 5 or 6 branches and 3 or 4 large twigs that the vacuum wouldn't have passed either. We got them with the skimmer. Since then, it has kept the pool cleaner than any other device I've tried. The brushes really do a job. It has even removed some stains the chemicals didn't touch. The Great White is slow, real slow. It cleans the middle six times for every time it cleans the corners. But most of the time, that doesn't matter. Set it before going to work and when you come back, you'll have a clean pool. If I haven't run the cleaner for four days and company is coming in two hours, I'll take a Navigator over a Great White, but otherwise the Great White is far better. Now here's one important key. The Great White is VERY sensitive to pressure, and you won't hit the right pressure setting by fiddling with the dial, not at first anyway. The dial on the pressure valve says FASTER and SLOWER, but that's meaningless for the Great White. It has to be at the right pressure or it won't work right. When you first set the dial, Pentair gives you a pressure meter to make the adjustment. The picture in the manual shows that you should place the meter on the end of one length of hose and move the dial until the disc is between the lines. This doesn't work because 40 feet of hose and a giant leafcatcher will change the pressure at the vacuum head. So put everything on your line that you plan to put on it, and place the meter out on the end of the hose, and then set it. It's a two-person job but worth doing. Also, as the pressure at the filter changes, you'll need to adjust the pressure on the Great White. After awhile, mostly by observing how far it goes up the walls, you can set the pressure properly without the meter, but use it at first because otherwise the Great White doesn't work right. Most of the complaints I've read here seem to result from an improper pressure setting. I really can't speak to the repair reliability of the Great White after two months, but it looks good so far. The simplicity of the unit is real plus. The MX-8 is more expensive and much more complicated, and that means it's more vulnerable. ... show more

  • works great before it chews up it's own parts
this is probably the best pool cleaner you can buy. it will work right for about four months then it will start to shake itself apart... stop turning all the way... eat its own skirt start to get caught up. at 400.00 it's a four or five star. at 600.00... not so much value there since you'll be ordering new gears and stuff for 100.00 at a time, skirts etc.....unless your pool is smaller. get something more rugged in this price range. the screws, which it will suck up are 26.00 for six. before the pandemic. ... show more

  • Our life just got easier!
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!! ... show more

  • Simply Amazing...and some thing to know
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 to the wall...no problem... but not the actual side walls. The only way this or most would do that is if you have a bowl shape at the sides (meaning a smooth curve from bottom to side wall. Newer pool are more like this then older ones like mine... This is also true of stairs although very randomly it may make it up but don't count on it. BUT... this is no issue as i have seen. Once this thing gets going there is little need to vacuum the stairs and walls as no dirt sits long enough to compile on them. SUGGESTION: You have to read the whole instructions manual pre-setup to realize you can do this... but you can use you skimmer basket with the vacuum plate... this is good if you get lots of leaves. The main setup assumes you are going right to skimmer port and not using it... but like 10 second attachment to plate and you are good to use it. For this price (and rebate I mentioned)... I am enjoying my pool with hours less work each week and t didn;t hurt the wallet much to do it. Well, well, well worth it. ... show more
