Features 5

  • NO BOOTSER PUMP NEEDED: This advanced pressure-side cleaner is powered by the water pressure coming from the pool's return line, propelling the 360 to eliminate pool debris. Retrofit Eyeball Kit (part number 9-100-8001) available to transition a standard return line into a dedicated return line for proper 360 propulsion.
  • FOR IN-GROUND POOLS: Safe for all pool shapes and surfaces including vinyl, fiberglass, gunite, pebble, & title. Attaches easily in pools with a dedicated cleaner return line, but a standard return line can be retrofit to accommodate a Polaris 360 cleaner. Check with your pool pro that you have the proper set-up for a 360 cleaner.
  • Complete Coverage: The Vac Sweep 360 is equipped with 3 venturi jets that deliver greater vacuum power, while its larger 2.25" inlet picks up large debris other cleaner types cant.
  • CAPTURES LARGE DEBRIS: Equipped with a filter bag that captures debris before it reaches your pool pump basket or filter, prolongin the life of your filtration system.

Great pressure sided cleaner!
This is designed for pools with pressure sided outlets. The box says it needs a separate pump to operate--not completely true. Our pool has a gate valve that splits the water from the pump and diverts it to the filter or the "energy bowl" (essentially a mini filter basket) that directly feeds a water outlet. Purchased this to replace an aging Polaris 360 unit which served us well. I rebuilt our old Polaris a couple times with a belt and wheel kit, but the last belt did not even last a year. Bought this for less than what we paid for our first unit, great value for the money. Easy to use, easy to set up, easy to adjust (old unit developed cracks in frame which kept adjustment screws loose). Perfect for our pool. First unit was installed while I was still working. This unit I installed in retirement and was able to spend time and read the direction prior to installation--strangely enough that really helped. Does not climb steps consistently. Only wish that it scrubbed the surface of the walls, floor, and steps, but that is not what it was designed to do. Does occasionally get stuck in some areas, but cleaning out the inline debris screen at the hose inlet helps clear that up. Highly recommend this item--does a great job of picking up dirt/sand/leaves from the bottom of the pool. ... show more

Pretty cool so far
Just got the Polaris today and hooked it up. No real hassles. My pool is a lazy L built in that is about 20 x 40. I have four return jets and can isolate them in pairs. I installed one of the small eyeball jets and closed off the other set with the valve, hooked up the quick disconnect to the othe jet that s near the center of the pool. The hose turned out to be the right length right out of the box... Lucky! Checked the RPMs and they were right about 27 to 28 so I just started using it. There was some algae in the pool (just got back from vacation) and the Polaris was effective at picking of the debris but the normal bag was letting too much out. I decided to just vacuum the pool the old fashion way to just get it closer to clean. I ordered a silt bag which others said was a must but it was at the post office with all my other stopped mail. I'll get that tomorrow. After the normal vacuum I started up the Polaris again and just let it go. It travels around the pool in a random manner. Whoever said it has the same pattern must be nuts. Every 3 and 1/2 minutes the back flush valve works to pull the entire thing backwards. There is no way it lands in the same spot. It does get stuck in a corner but when it back flushes it gets itself unstuck. The whipping tail seems to do a great job of getting in all the corners and seams of the pool. My pool does not have smooth rounded corners so climbing is not perfect. However, after watching it for a while there are times it does climb part way up the walls. The tail does get everywhere I want it to get so I don't think the climbing to the surface will be an issue. The one thing I can tell already is that this thing will get the water stirred up and I suspect this will be a huge improvement for my pool cleanliness. One small thing I need to figure out though is the small eyeball jet kind of squeals and it is annoying. I think I will try to drill the hole out a little larger like someone else said. I'll follow up on my post in a few days to see how things work out. So far.... I like it. Update on 8/18/12 After a week I can say this thing does everything I need it to do. Is put the silt bag on and it does a better job of catching all the small debris in the pool. I can't believe how much is in the bag when the pool looked clean when I start the filter. My wife said she has had to untangle the thing once or twice but I have yet to see this. I haven't had to vacuum the pool manually at all, which is the primary reason you purchase one of these. I did replace some of the eyeballs with smaller ones and drilled another to a slighty larger size so I get the proper flow and don't have to mess with closing off valves. The pool is clean and ready to use whenever we want to use it. It doesn't climb the walls as well as I like but I simple have to brush a couple of spots. I did this tonight and it took about 60 seconds. I can live with that. I stil give it 5 stars for the price. ... show more

Completely non-existent customer support, update - repeatedly damaged my brand new liner!
I’m editing this review many years later to give an update and drop the rating to one star. I’d bought this unit upon moving in to a home with a pool. I had put a brand new pool liner in and this thing basically ruined it. I used it as directed and my pool was otherwise kept clean with everything pretty well balanced. Ultimately, I used this unit for the first three years in the pool, and I ended up with nine pinhole leaks in the liner. No one could figure out why the expensive high quality liner was leaking so frequently. That was 5 years ago. I stopped using this machine at that point and I have not had one single leak in the 5 years since.. Three leaks a year while using this thing and then none at all for 5 years after stopping. I don’t think I need to say any more than that. Here is my original review: I am a new pool owner and didn't want to spend time vacuuming. My property is surrounded by deciduous trees, some of which are very close to the pool, so there's a constant battle with leaves. Hence, I sought out a cleaner to help with maintenance. This model received good reviews and I like the fact that it's a pressure side unit that doesn't need a booster pump. Setup was a bit confusing, since I'm new to this, and I was caught off guard by the need to test pressure and count the wheel rpm. Not a big deal once I'd watched some YouTube videos, but unfortunately the documentation that comes in the box is oversimplified to the point that it's hard to follow. Which is where my only complaint began - with the documentation. The instructions walk you through checking the length of the supplied hose, and instruct you to cut it if it is too long. Fine, that makes sense. But mine was too short. The instructions direct you to contact customer service if that is the case, there is no indication as to what you're actually supposed to do. Well, let's just say that's pretty much impossible. Literally. The vendor's website has a chat feature with hours of operation - I tried to use that at least 20 or 30 times over 3 days, and each time I got a message that there were no agents online. My second attempt was the provided phone number. Again, no one available after many attempted calls - although one time I did get a message that there would be a wait time of 48 minutes, which is not acceptable. Finally, I tried email - and after several attempts, again I received zero response. This was extremely frustrating, given that their documentation directed me to contact them, and at this point I had wasted a week with a unit I was unable to use. Eventually I did some googling and found parts diagrams on the internet, after which I ordered a hose section, new jam nuts, and an additional swivel fitting. I was then able to splice the new length into the hose and get the additional 4 feet I needed to pass the length test mentioned in the instructions. This set me back maybe $50 but at least now I can use the thing. Although, I'm not actually sure if making the hose longer in this way was actually the "right" thing to do. In terms of the actual function of the cleaner - it works fine. I've now been able to use it for about a month, and typically I drop it in for a few hours three or four times a week, and the bottom of the pool is kept clean. Emptying the filter bag is a bit of a messy hassle but I can't really see how that could be avoided so I don't hold that against the product. It does a good job at picking up leaves and debris but also fine sand. The kids sometimes leave their diving toys or nose plugs in the pool and it sucks those up without a problem - I was worried that these objects might somehow jam in the unit but it hasn't been an issue. This is convenient because it means I don't have to go fish this stuff out before cleaning, I just retrieve these things from the bag after it's done. I will report back and update this review once I've had a chance to get through a few more months of use. But for now, my recommendation would be to proceed with caution if you want any cleaner from this brand, given the completely non-existent nature of their customer support. The cleaner deserves 4 or 5 stars but the fact that you spend this much on a consumer product and then get ZERO help actually using it is unacceptable and drags my rating down to three stars. I don't complain when I can't get ahold of customer support for disposable or cheap off brand stuff, but that kind of misstep from a major brand is hard to ignore. ... show more

The new pool boy is working out well
I inherited pool ownership several years ago when I purchased my current home (an aspect to which I was not particularly keen) The cleaning and chemical balancing which comes with that responsibility has been a journey of both intellectual learning and physical effort. I've tried a few less expensive pressure-side options (thankfully I have a dedicated jet for job) all with huge disappointments. Frustratingly, the pool has some angular geometry which seems to foil any design which relies on random patterns for coverage. While it did require some time for observation and minor adjusting, I have become a fan of the Polaris 360 for its ability to save me significant time manually cleaning debris from my pool. The design incorporates multiple facets which prevent the cleaner from becoming locked into a particular behavior; very seldom do I need to intervene with the operation. I do find that it takes much more than the advertised 3 hours to fully clear the pool, but we do have some large trees overhead which probably make our pool more of a compost pit than others. Pros: - With some careful initial setup and reasonable maintenance, this cleaner does a remarkable job in a somewhat difficult environment. Saves me at least 90% of my cleaning effort for algae and debris. - Works quite well on my system (1hp) without a booster pump. I can even open up other jets to balance the pressure a bit; ideal pressure seems to be around 15-17 psi. Cons: - A bit pricey (and as of this writing, the price has jumped another $80 in the past 30 days), but then pool things tend to be that way. - I highly recommend getting additional bags to keep a rotation while the filled one dries. - The tail scrubber does seem to wear quickly and require frequent replacement, and once or twice I have had to remove the tail from being sucked into the bag. Honestly, I think the stock tail works better than the TailSweep Pro. - This design does not clean the waterline. ... show more

Awesome product
I got this Polaris to replace my old Polaris that just was too old to fix. The package came with everything I need in order to just put it into pool and let it do the wonderful work it always does. The pack came with the Polaris itself and a new hose. The hose comes with a pressure tester to make sure all is in order and the documentation helps you to determine if the robot is working in the right speed (by looking at the speed of the wheel), in the pack you have also a new wall outlet and a new thing for me was a cover for the outlet for times when the Polaris is not attached, It acts as another pool water outlet (with several hole sizes), so it can change the outlet to a jet stream outlet, and of course a new collection bag. All in all installation took me 5 minutes with adjusting the length of the hose and testing that all is in order, my old Polaris stopped working about a month ago and the bottom of my pool had some dirt in it from recent winds and some leaves, by the next day the pool floor was 80% better and cleaner, last weekend I cleaned the collection bag and for the first time, using Polaris recommendation I didn't just empty the bag but let it dry (now I have 2 bags old and new), so clean up of the bag was super easy and the robot was working seconds after the replacement. After only 2/3 days the pool is spotless and clear again. I love this product!!!! Lots of my friends have the suction robots and they don't even come close, most of my friends had to add electric sweepers to get the level of clean I get using only this product. It climes the pool walls great and for the most part cleans every inch of the pool. This product does not require a its own pump, and can be connected to the pool system 24/7 365 days (I am just taking it out when we are in the pool). If your system can support this product use it!!! You will not regret it. the only point to know is that this product is not great with the pool stairs, but I have not heard of any that are! Once in a while I just manually take the Polaris and place it on the top stair (out of 3) and it just does the rest. My old one hold up about 10 years or more (I am not sure if not longer as I got it with the house and the previous owner got it with the house as well), yes from time to time the belt needs to be replaced and sometime a seal need to be replaced but all in all I found it to be a very reliant product!!! Oh and as for the price...i checked a lot of local (DALLAS TX)stores and the avarge at stores was higher, looking at new Polaris at Ebay did not give me better deals. amazon was the best offer I could ask for ... show more

Good product for the long term
Polaris always is a great product and highly recommended! All parts are replaceable if one has the motivation to do it. However the parts cost can add up quickly. They do last along time. Plan on replacing the wheel rims as they do wear out but last several years even with everyday use. I installed if myself and Im in my 70s. I fixed my older unit several times thru the years. You may have to get into the pool to get it all locked in correctly. ... show more

Love this thing.
How can you not have one of these. If you are vacuuming your pool on your own, you are an idiot...haha. I already had a return line in the pool and a Jandy valve, so installation was nothing more than screwing the adapter into the 1 1/2" outlet, inserting the quick adapter, and turning the pump on. I did have to adjust the Jandy valve some to get the right pressure though. In my case, the Jandy controls flow to a single 1 1/2" outlet or to 3 angled outlets. I normally have it set around 90/10 to operate the Polaris with 90% going to the Polaris and 10% going to the 3 angled outlets. For me, this is the best way to control vac pressure. I did the relief valve test, but my pressure wasn't high enough to open the valve. I also am not getting enough rotations per minute on the wheel unless I go full blown 100% outlet into the Polaris which I could do except that doing to jumps my filter pressure from 10psi to 20 psi which seems like too much strain. The 90/10 split only increases the pressure from 10 to about 14 or 15psi and the Polaris still works great. The little sponge thing on the tail lasts 3 to 4 weeks max, so buy spares. Ours wore out and the corners of the pool remain dirty without the tail and scrubber doing their job. You may also need to play with the hose nuts because they seem to leak. Some leak none, some leak a lot. I could never get it to the point where none leaked. Same thing with the thrust jet...play around with it. The Polaris might keep getting stuck. If it does, move the jet around until you get the right movement. It's still new, but so far we love it. ... show more

Lifesaver!
I was very tired of getting out the hose and vacuum head twice a week to clean the crap off the bottom of the pool. Our pool was not built with a booster pump in mind, so this pressure side cleaner, henceforth referred to as the "monster", was the perfect choice. Our pump is a 1HP so I had to use the restriction eyeball to provide enough pressure to run the cleaner. After that it was a matter of getting the jet on the back adjusted properly, which required a bit of trial and error. Initially I had the hose mounted to the return in the shallow end, but the monster kept getting stuck on it while riding vertically along the wall. Moving the hose to the deep end return solved that problem. We also had a floating frog chlorinator tethered to the wall with a string and the monster found that string and promptly wrapped it up around its wheels. It also would get stuck on both of the ladders (our pool doesn't have steps) and even the auto-reversing function wouldn't free it, so when the monster is going we have to keep the ladders out. Overall it was a great purchase and I don't see how anyone can go without one of these monsters! A few things I've learned from using this: If you have a lot of debris on the bottom of the pool, scoop it out with a net first, the bag cannot hold a lot of debris and you'll be reeling it in to clean out that bag every 5 minutes. Clean out the bag regularly. If it gets too full of junk the monster will just roll around in circles on its side. It will keep the sides and bottom scrubbed clean of algae, a nice bonus. It helps greatly with dispersing chemicals and keeps powder shock from settling on the bottom and bleaching your liner. Make sure the hose is the right length; too short and it won't clean everything, too long and it will get tangled up. Get some extra wear parts to keep around. I recommend: Buy an extra hose section just in case, a replacement screen for the quick connect fitting (you WILL lose it eventually), an extra bag so you can swap in a clean one while the other one is being cleaned (they are much easier to clean after drying out), and a pack of tail scrubbers, you will get about a month out of each one. ... show more
