Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner

When operating correctly, the Polaris vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the Polaris depends on the pool’s shape and water pressure or flow. The Polaris climbs best in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.

Approximately every 3-1/2 minutes the Polaris 360 goes into back-up mode. This action pulls the Polaris away from pool obstacles.

Thrust Jet Adjustment

The thrust jet powers the direction of the Polaris. Factory position is eleven o’clock, but depending on the pool, other settings are helpful.

Sweep Hose Adjustment

The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping motion. To decrease the motion of the sweep hose, turn the sweep hose adjustment screw clockwise.

See Troubleshooting for other action adjustments.

Routine Maintenance

Cleaning the Filter Bag

Detach the bag by releasing the prongs and removing the bag tie collar from the feed hose. Open the closure and dump out the debris.

Whenever possible, empty the filter bag when it is half full, especially if the dirt load is sand.

It is easier to empty the filter bag when it is dry. Alternate between two filter bags. When one becomes full, remove it and put on the clean bag.

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 by the warranty). Remove the UWF from the pool wall by attaching the Quick Disconnect and using pulling pressure to unscrew. In some cases, it may be necessary to use the UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00) available from participating Polaris dealers.
