Polaris 180 In Ground Pool Cleaner In Ground Pool Cleaner - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
What is causing my polaris
The cleaner could be getting too much pressure from the return line, causing it to lose suction and fly off the bottom. Confirm that the blue restrictor disk is installed in the UWF to decrease water flow. If it is installed, try installing the red restrictor disk that came with your
pool cleaner to decrease the flow even more. You should also check your wheel RPM. If it is higher than 32 RPM, unscrew the pressure relief valve to decrease the water flow to the cleaner. It is important to note that the pressure relief valve should only be adjusted when a restrictor is installed.
It continures all of a sudden to run in a circle
There are several things that you need to check when these
automatic pool cleaners are doing this. First, you might need to adjust the thrust jet. It could be that it is releasing too much water at one time and making the unit go in one direction. Make sure that your feed hose is floating properly. When the cleaner is operating, hold it upside down and look into the tube. You should see two distinct, even jets of water. If you do not, you need to have the cleaner serviced by a pro.
It does not pick up debris and there does not seem
Try these troubleshooting techniques for this
automatic pool cleaner. First, check the thrust jet and make sure that it is getting proper thrust. Check the filter screen in the in line filter and clean it is necessary. Make sure that your skimmer basket and pump basket are clear of obstructions. Check your hoses and connections to make sure that you don't have any leaks. A loss of water pressure could be your problem.
Will not pick up the trash. Seems to have no
The 180 is a pressure system not vacuum. You must have good pressure for it to work properly. First clean your filter thoroughly. If that doesn't correct the problem, look for leaks in the hose.
Water comes out of the tail of polaris 360, but tail does not sweep.
check the filter in the wall of the pool where the Polaris line hooks up, it got a small filter in it. you are running it on low-pressure that's why it not sweeping, could also be a plugged impeller on the booster pump.

How can I shorten the chain on a Polaris 3900 pool sweep
Curious to know why it needs shortening. The machine should have an automatic tensioner inside that keep the chain right. I am unaware of any way, or any need, to shorten the chain.
Get on YouTube or a Polaris site to see if all your internal parts are present and functioning correctly.
Polaris spa air pump won't start
need more info does pump have voltage going to it? if not trace back to switch or relay find where voltage dies that should be bad component if voltage at motor bad motor
My booster pump is not working. There is voltage
Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.
It may be a small part such as the capacitor or the starting switch, but could also be more severe such as the winding itself. You will also want to examine the shaft where it passes thru the pump and motor and look for signs of rust from a pump seal leak.
Start with the capacitor. Use a digital multi-meter (DMM), preferably with a capacitor setting, or an analog meter set for Ohms. With an analog, you should see the needle deflect as if testing a closed circuit then it will slowly drop to 0 if the capacitor is good. If it doesn't move or moves and stays to the side showing a closed circuit the capacitor is bad. If you notice a burn hole near the terminals on the end of the capacitor do not bother to test it. If you do not have access to a meter you can try grounding the posts together with a screwdriver to see if they arc although It is not a very reliable test method. Be sure you are holding on to an insulated handle for the tool you use to short the terminals together or you can get a good poke.
If you are not familiar with testing these parts your best bet would be a local electric motor repair shop to see if the motor can be repaired or if it would need to be replaced. They should also be able to ensure there is no pump damage. If you wish to continue to try to repair it yourself please comment with any questions you have as you work thru the pump and motor.
