Test and Adjust Water Pressure
The Polaris is packaged with a pressure tester installed on the hose. Simply attach the hose
to pool wall using the Quick Disconnect fitting. Turn pump on, cover large hole with thumb
and confirm that water is released from the Pressure Relief Valve.
If water does not release from the Pressure Relief Valve, there is insufficient water pressure
to operate the Polaris pool cleaner.
•
Check the filter screen in the Quick Disconnect for debris which restricts water flow.
•
Clean the skimmer, filter and pump basket, clearing debris which restricts water flow.
•
Check the hoses, connections and swivels for leaks that cause loss of water pressure.
•
If the cleaner is connected to a dedicated return line, adjust the 3-way diverter to
increase water flow.
Adjust Feed Hose to Fit Pool Length
With the hose connected to the pool wall at the return line, hold feed hose under water and
turn on the pool pump. Extend the hose to the farthest point of the pool. The hose end must
be within 6" of this point – longer or shorter – as shown by the dotted line.
Hose too long? Cut excess length from first hose section and reconnect hose sections.
Hose too short? Buy an additional hose section and add to first hose section.
After adjusting the hose length, position the three hose floats as indicated by the diagram.
