G. Connecting the Hose
1. Set aside the two hose sections with
hose weights.
2. Connect the remaining hose sections by
pushing the hose cuffs as close together as
possible. Refer to the “Connecting the Hose”
Diagram below.
3. Connect the two remaining hose sections
(with weight) to the female end of the hose.
➜ It is important to always lay the hose straight
and flat when it is not in the pool.
4. Connect the assembled hose sections to the
single hose section that is attached to your
dedicated suction line or skimmer.
H. Adjusting the Suction Hose
1. Pull the free end of the hose to the farthest
point of the pool. The hose should extend
between one to two hose sections past the
farthest point of the pool. Refer to the "Prop-
erly Sized Hose" diagram on page 7.
a. If the hose extends more than two hose
sections, remove any excess hose
section that does not have a hose
weight attached.
b. If the hose does not extend at least one
hose section past the farthest point of the
pool, additional hose sections (part #5-
5500) need to be added to the middle of
the hose.
2. Adjust the hose weights to the corresponding
pool depth.
a. For pools more than five feet deep:
Position one hose weight (#23) approxi-
mately three feet and the other
approximately six feet from the free
end of the hose.
4. Once the unused skimmers are blocked,
remove the same items from the skimmer
to which the Polaris will be connected.
5. Continue to Section F below.
F. Installing in a Single Skimmer
1. Push the universal adapter(#18) into the
suction line in the bottom of the skimmer.
➜ If two openings (suction line and main drain
line) are visible, the suction line is usually
the one that is farthest away from the edge
of the pool.
2. Insert the flow regulator (#19) into the
universal adapter.
3. Feed the male end of one hose section
without weights through the skimmer
opening and attach it to the flow regulator.
4. Use the 45° elbow for deep skimmers and
the 90° elbow for shallow skimmers to pre-
vent the hose from kinking.
5. Continue to Section G.
