B. Identifying the Type of Pool
Connection
The Polaris 340 comes equipped to connect to
a dedicated suction line or a pool skimmer. We
recommend the Polaris be installed on the dedi-
cated suction line if one is present.
A dedicated suction line is a 1-1/4" to 2" suction line,
usually located between 6" to 12" below the water's
surface in the center of the longest pool wall. If there
is not one present, refer to section D.
C. Installing in a Dedicated
Suction Line
1. Turn off the pool pump.
2. If the suction line opening is not covered
by a safety vacuum fitting, install the
universal adapter. If a safety fitting is
present, it is not necessary to install the
universal adapter.
➜ If your dedicated suction line does not have
a safety vacuum fitting, we recommend that
you contact your local Polaris dealer to see
if one is required in your area.
