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

help the Polaris operate at its optimum level of efficiency. Screw the universal wall fitting and the blue restrictor into the return line by hand.

3.Turn the quick disconnect into the universal wall fitting clockwise and pull away to secure.

4.Turn the quick disconnect by hand to tighten the universal wall fitting; do not overtighten. Once the universal wall fitting is secure, the quick disconnect can be removed without removing the universal wall fitting.

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
		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.
