G. Accessories
1. Ladder Guard Kit (Part #G21)
The ladder guard kit will help prevent the Polaris
from getting hung up around the pool ladder or
handrails.
2. Sweep Hose Weight (Part #B2)
If the sweep hose tends to break the surface of the
water — squirting nearby windows, pool decking,
or innocent bystanders — a sweep hose weight
can be installed.
3. Filter Bags
The Polaris comes with an all-purpose bag for
general use in all pools.You may want to purchase
one of our special bags listed below and rotate
between them as needed.
Disposable All-Purpose Bag
(Part #9-100-1013)
The disposable all-purpose bag is a convenient
and efficient alternative to the all-purpose bag.
Just let the bag fill, then simply throw it away. Sold
in packages of three.
Sand/Silt Bag (Part #9-100-1015)
The sand/silt bag is made of a fine mesh material
to trap very fine silt and dust. The bag provides a
secondary filtering system, removing debris as
small as 9/1000 of an inch.
Leaf Bag (Part #9-100-1012)
The leaf bag is a large bag made of a more
durable material. It is specifically designed to
collect larger, heavier types of debris such as
large quantities of leaves and acorns.
4. WaterStars (Part #7-400-00) and
WaterStars WF (Part #11-100-00)
The Polaris WaterStars fountains come equipped
to connect to a universal wall fitting. Once the
Polaris 360 is installed with the universal wall fit-
ting, you can quickly and easily switch from pool
cleaner to Polaris fountain and back again.
5. SpaWand (Part #5-100-00)
This simple, effective hand-cleaning device allows
you to rapidly clean your spa without hoses or
hookups. It’s also great for fish ponds and other
small bodies of water.
To clean the filter screen, pull it out of the quick
disconnect, rinse it and press it firmly back
into place.
Please Note: Running the Polaris without the
filter screen can damage the Polaris and void
the warranty. If the filter screen clogs often, con-
sult your pool professional.
2. Wear Rings (#36)
The sweep hose (#35) is fitted with rolling wear
rings to protect the sweep hose. Replace them
before the weights on either side of the wear
rings begin to wear.
➔ To maximize the life of the wear rings, we re-
commend that you rotate them as they wear.
3. Tires (#6)
The tires provide traction and protect both the
Polaris and the bottom of your pool. Replace the
tires when the edges become rounded.
4. Sweep Hose Scrubber (#30)
The sweep hose scrubber helps keep the bottom
and sides of your pool clean. It also helps prevent
the sweep hose from spraying water out of the
pool. The scrubber may need to be replaced
often depending on the surface of your pool.
➔ To maximize the life of the sweep hose
scrubber, we recommend that you turn it
as it wears.
E. Backwashing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall
before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter.
After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration
system run for at least five minutes to flush out
the return lines before reconnecting the Polaris.
F. Storage and Winterizing
Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight. When
storing for the winter, be especially sure to drain
out all the water (freeze damage is not covered
under the warranty). Also, remove the universal
wall fitting from the pool wall. Attach the quick
disconnect, pull away from the pool wall and
unscrew the quick disconnect. In some cases, it
may be necessary to use the universal wall fit-
ting removal tool (part # 10-102-00) available
from your participating Polaris dealer.
