Fine Tuning the Polaris Cleaner

When operating correctly, the Polaris vacuums and sweeps all surfaces, moving randomly throughout the pool. The surface module floats on the water’s surface recirculating clean, filtered water. The sweep hose and filter bag move across the pool floor collecting dirt and debris.

Approximately every 15-25 seconds the Polaris will change directions.

Pressure Relief Valve

The pressure relief valve in the Quick Disconnect automatically releases water if the Polaris is receiving too much water pressure. It can also be used to regulate the movement of the cleaner.

If the Polaris changes directions too quickly, adjust the pressure relief valve to slow the cleaner.

The filter screen inside the Quick Disconnect captures debris missed by the pool filtration system. To clean, pull it out, rinse it and press it back into place.

Backwashing the Pool Filter

Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes to flush out the return lines before re-connecting the Polaris.

Storage and Winterizing

Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain out all the water (freeze damage is not covered under the warranty). Remove the sweep jet assembly from the sweep hose and store it flat. Hang or lay the hoses straight. Remove all fittings from the return lines including the UWF. In some cases, it may be necessary to use the UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00) available from an authorized Polaris dealer.
