If the Polaris
®
cleaner regularly displays the following
actions, adjustments may be necessary to restore
performance. Refer to exploded parts diagram for part
references.
Action: Polaris does not clean the
entire pool or runs slowly.
Solution: 1. Verify that the pressure relief valve is
releasing water. If it is not, clean or
backwash the pool filter.
2. Check the filter screen in the quick
disconnect and clean if necessary.
3. Verify that the float hose is the proper
length.
4. Remove the surface module top.
With the Polaris operating, verify that
the randomizer tube is moving back
and forth.
If it is not moving: Turn off
pump, disconnect hoses, look into
the mechanism and locate the filter
connector inside the randomizer
tube. If it is covered with debris
or algae, remove the connector
chamber, cylinder, and piston. Pull
out the randomizer tube and clean
the filter connector. If the connector
is clean, replace the piston.
If it is moving: Watch the
randomizer ball in the mechanism.
If it does not move within 2 minutes,
replace the randomizer tube and
piston.
5. Verify that the water pressure is
between 5 and 10 psi. A pressure
tester (part #6-113-00) is available
through your participating Polaris
dealer.
Action: Surface module dives under the
water or leans to one side.
Solution: 1. Straighten twisted hoses.
2. Lift surface module out of the water,
empty it and then shake it. If water
is still heard inside, remove the top,
pull out the drain plug assembly and
drain the module.
3. Adjust the pressure relief valve until
the surface module levels off.
4. Verify that the water pressure is
between 5 and 10 psi.
A pressure tester (part
#6-113-00) is available from an
authorized Polaris dealer.
Action: The float hose remains coiled.
Solution: 1. See “Polaris does not clean entire
pool.”
2. Lay the float hose out straight in the
sun to remove the coils.
Action: Surface module moves too fast.
Solution: 1. Adjust the pressure relief valve until
the surface module slows down.
2. 165/Super Turtle only: Remove
one of the eyeball regulators and
readjust the pressure relief valve if
necessary.
3. Verify that the water pressure is
between 5 and 10 psi.
Action: Bag does not stay on the
pool floor.
Solution: 1. Verify that the bag has been installed
correctly.
2. Check for air bubbles around the jet
body assembly. This may indicate
air in the plumbing lines.
3. See “Surface module moves too
fast.”
