Polaris 340 - Manual (Page 6)

Adjust Suction Hose to Fit Pool Length
With the hose attached to the pool, extend the hose to the farthest point of the pool. The
hose end should reach 2 to 3 hose sections past the farthest point.
Hose too long? Remove excess hose sections from the middle of the hose.
Hose too short? Buy additional standard hose sections.
After adjusting the hose length, position the hose weights as shown.
Note: For pools less than 5 feet deep, remove weight from leader hose and position weight
on standard hose four feet from Polaris.
Test and Adjust Water Flow
For proper operation, the Polaris 340 must receive the correct amount of water flow. Check
the pool’s available water flow with the flow indicator.
1. Detach hose and flow regulator, if used. Fill hose completely with water. Reattach flow
regulator and hose.
2. Connect flow indicator to the leader hose.
3. Holding flow indicator underwater, turn on the pump.
4. The target area on the flow indicator represents the correct water flow range.
If too little flow:
• Verify that pool filter and pump basket are clean.
• Verify that all suction lines are closed except the one utilized by the flow indicator.
• Check hose cuffs and connections for leaks that cause loss of flow.
• For dedicated suction line installations, adjust valve in equipment area that controls
water flow to suction line until indicator is within the target area. Mark valves for
reference.
