long lasting, works forever,

Pros: the circulators are still working after 7 years, needing no service
Cons: I wished I had the circulators sooner to save more
"I have had the circulators for 7 years with no service needed. All 5 circulators just keep working perfectly with my sand filter. They have increase my pool water temperature 12 degrees with no cold spots. I would never own a pool without having the circulators. The circulators are like a pump and filter a must."

Best Investment for my pool,

By Mackie
from Dallas,TX
from Dallas,TX
Pros: Exceptional money savings and now I can enjoy my pool more instead of working hard to keep it looking great.
"I have been using this product for over 4 years now and I am crazy about it. I save money every month on my chemicals, and the circulator makes my pool maintenance effortless. I use to fight with algae and cloudy pool water, and since I installed the circulator in every pool return, I never see algae anymore. The Circulator also heats my pool for free and I never run into uncomfortable cold areas in the pool. I think that once anybody tries this product, they wouldn't have a pool without it. Thanks for a truly amazing product!"

By Jackoline

from texas
Pros: perfect pool water, never has a green pool again, because of these 5 circulators
Cons: I do not have to run my pool pump and heater very long with these circulators
"I bought 5 circulators and in all these years they still keep my pool spotless. My pool now is always clear and clean. All the years I have had the circulators in my pool I have never had any thing go wrong, they just keep going, and going year after year. I have had no service problems with any of these circulators. I would recommend the circulator to all pool owners. I would not own a pool without having the circulation I get from these circulators.

Pros: the power of the circulator has saved me 1/2 of my chemical and heating bill
Cons: I will always have a pool with circulators, it has never stopped working for 6 years now
"I purchase 6 circulator 6 years ago and all 6 circulators are still working hard, never stopped working hard. I figure the cost is about a penny a day for the circulator but the savings of 1/2 of of chemical, and heating bill makes the circulator a great investment. I has recommend the circulator to everybody.
I bought today 4 circulator to give to my neighbor as a birthday gift.

Remarkable Product,
Date:October 12, 2011
By LeisureLad
Pros: This product saved me lots of money on chemicals and heated my pool for free as an extra benefit.
Cons: I can't think of any. All I see is a very low cost item with alot of benefits.
"The Circulator is truly an amazing product. I spent a fortune on chemicals trying to rid my pool of algae and cloudy water. I put a circulator in each return and my pool came alive. The Circulator already paid for itself and my pool looks amazing."

Not worth the money,
Date:September 1, 2011
By Marfon
from Pearland TX
from Pearland TX
Pros: Jet streams the water into pool and mixes well, easy to install
Cons: Quality of product is poor, last only 1 month, product will stop working after a month
"Its a great idea, but don't really work. I purchase 4 of the circulators and after 1 month, they all stop working. It does not work well in a large pool and does not reduce the time it takes to heat pool. Poor construction forces me to remove because they all stop working. Water level in pool must be high to keep circulator from spraying out of pool. The lights and other accessories sold are truly a waste of money."

circulator,

By MedDoctor

from NJ
Pros: The circulator was the best item I have ever bought for my pool
Cons: none
"The circulator is the absolutely best item I have ever purchased for my pool. It has save me 1/2 of my electric and chlorine bill. The circulator drives the surface heat and chemicals to the floor of my pool eliminating dead spots and cold areas. Now, for once I have absolutely no cloudy pool water and no algae.
Thanks for making my life easier.
Thanks for a great product.

from Sunny, Florida
Pros: works really well
Cons: not necessarily a "con," but it's only been two days
"Super easy to install-- twist off old returns; twist on new ones. No tools required. It actually took me longer to read the directions than anything else.
17 year old pool. Std. filter (no sand). Two returns. Pool chemicals circulated quickly and I watched the water go from okay to balanced, chlorinated and crystal clear in minutes."

Worked for a month,
Date:May 24, 2010
By DaveBlodg
from NJ
from NJ
Pros: worked well when it worked
Cons: stopped circulating after a month or so
"My guess is that since I have a sand filter, and sand filters invariably emit a little sand out of the return fitting, especially after backwashing, it jammed up the mechanics inside the unit that cause it to rotate. It definitely worked well when it worked, but that was way too short of a period of time for the price."

Works great when installed properly,
Date:May 28, 2009
By DonS
from Georgia
from Georgia
Pros: Increases circulator and pressure at the returns
"Another reviewer stated that the presure at the 'other' returns increased and the Circulator returns decreased. If you install these as their web site instructs (install on ALL returns) it works just as advertised. Water takes the route of least resistence so if you don't install on all returns the circulator will not get a consistant presure at all returns. I would buy again."

Limits water flow too much,
Date:April 11, 2009
By BQTampa
Pros: it spins around like it claims
Cons: there's not nearly enough force in water output
"As soon as I screwed this in, I noticed that the water flow in my other pool return increased substantially. That's because The Circulator limits water flow so much that it has no other option but to be diverted to the other return. The water that came out of the top of the circulator was coming out at less than half the force that it does from a normal "eyeball" return. Yes, it spins around, but what good does that do if most of the water is getting diverted to the non-circulator return?
So, I'm sending this back. I called In The Swim ahead of time and they said "no problem". At least returns are easy with this company."

The Best Investment for My Pool Yet,
Date:November 27, 2008
By bradcombs77
from Midwest City, OK
from Midwest City, OK
Pros: Easy to install; Flawless operation; Amazing results
Cons: I didn't buy two
"My circulator arrived quickly and was easy to install (my wife, who doesn't usually tend the pool, installed it while I was at work). The deepest part of my in-ground pool is 8 feet and I've struggled to keep crystal clear water (judged by being able to see the drain clearly). I have two jets (one on the deep end and one in the shallow; I installed it on the deep end). I only used the circulator for a couple of days before I saw results. I could not only see the drain clearly, but I could see the heads of the screws that held the drain in place.
Ordering the circulator was quick and easy, it arrived quickly and in excellent condition."
