B. Possible Pool Connections

1. Dedicated Return Line

A 1-1/2" dedicated return line is recommended. It should be approximately 6" below the water level and have 1-1/2" female threads. If it has 1/4" female threads, you will need to purchase the 3/4" x 1-1/2" coupling (part #G-9).

2. Over-the-deck Installation

If the pool does not have a dedicated return line, the Polaris can be installed by obtaining an

over-the-deck kit (part #G12) and running an aboveground feed line from the booster pump over the pool deck to the pool wall.

C. Installing the Universal Wall Fitting

1.Turn on the filtration pump and flush out the plumbing line.

2.Remove the universal wall fitting from the quick disconnect. The universal wall fitting has a blue pressure restrictor installed to

Properly Sized Feed Hose

For proper cleaner performance, the hose must be sized to fit your pool. To size correctly, follow the steps in Section D. Once sized, the feed hose should look like the one below.

	Entire Feed Hose Reaches Within 6" of Farthest Point of Pool*
	White Hoses Are Cut to Equal Lengths	Clear Hose is Equal to
	White Hoses Are Cut to Equal Lengths	Greatest Depth of Pool
Universal Wall	Floats Are Evenly Distributed	2-3 Feet Apart
Fitting	(1-1/2 to 3 Feet Apart)

*Please Note: The illustrations in this section do not necessarily represent the farthest point for every pool. You must determine where the farthest point is in your pool.

380 specifications

The Polaris 380 is a standout in the world of automatic pool cleaners, known for its efficiency and advanced technology. Designed to keep both residential and commercial pools sparkling clean, the Polaris 380 offers a combination of performance, durability, and ease of use that makes it a popular choice among pool owners.

One of the main features of the Polaris 380 is its powerful three-wheel drive system. This unique technology allows the cleaner to navigate around the pool with unmatched agility, covering all areas meticulously. With a large suction intake and a strong jet propulsion system, the Polaris 380 effectively removes debris, dirt, and leaves from the pool floor and walls. Its robust design ensures that it can tackle even the toughest cleaning jobs, making it suitable for various pool types, including in-ground pools with a smooth or textured surface.

Equipped with a special filtration system, the Polaris 380 captures both large debris and fine particles, providing a comprehensive cleaning experience. The dual-chamber filtration bag ensures that it can handle a significant amount of debris before needing to be emptied, enhancing convenience for users. This efficient filtration capability allows the Polaris 380 to maintain a cleaner pool environment, reducing the need for additional filtration systems and improving water clarity.

Another admirable characteristic of the Polaris 380 is its ability to operate independently of the pool’s main filtration system. This means that with its own dedicated booster pump, the cleaner works efficiently without putting additional strain on the pool’s existing filtration system. This feature not only prolongs the lifespan of the pool's pump but also enhances overall cleaning efficiency.

Installation of the Polaris 380 is straightforward, requiring minimal setup. The auto-reverse feature allows the cleaner to avoid obstacles and change direction automatically, ensuring that every part of the pool is thoroughly cleaned. Additionally, the Polaris 380 is compatible with various pool shapes and sizes, making it a versatile solution for pool owners looking to maintain a pristine swimming environment.
