font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe Epic 8520 is sized for pools up to 40 feet with a 50-foot cable, while the Epic 8640 handles pools up to 50 feet with a 60-foot cable and includes a premium caddy. Both share the same Cyclonic vacuum, Double Helix brushes, track wheel design, dual cleaning modes, and transparent-lid canister. The 8520 is the right choice for smaller pools where the extra cable length and caddy aren't needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; border:none;\"\u003eWhat are the two cleaning modes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe Epic 8520 offers two one-touch modes: a floor-only cycle for quick cleanups, and a full floor, walls, and waterline cycle for complete pool coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; border:none;\"\u003eHow does the Easy Lift Removal System work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe Easy Lift system lets you retrieve the cleaner at the waterline. As you lift it, water evacuates from the unit — reducing the effective weight significantly so removal is easier and less strenuous than lifting a water-filled cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; border:none;\"\u003eDoes it require a booster pump?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eNo. The Epic 8520 plugs into a standard 120V outlet and operates completely independently from your pool's pump and filtration system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; border:none;\"\u003eWhat pool surfaces is it compatible with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe Epic 8520 is designed for concrete, fiberglass, gunite, pebble, and tile pool surfaces — covering virtually all residential in-ground pool types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Polaris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935972077819,"sku":"FEPIC8520","price":1139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4418\/6107\/files\/Epic-8520-Main.png?v=1780456899","url":"https:\/\/clearflowpoolsupply.com\/products\/polaris-epic-8520-robotic-pool-cleaner","provider":"ClearFlow Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
