  • 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

  • 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

  • Now we can accurately write a review
We had the device now for about two weeks and this is my first report. It replaces two attempts; the first one was a Rav Vac who i hope that the company is already out of business and the second was a manual battery powered pool vacuum which worked well for one year and went silent. Now back to the Polaris. All the nuts that hold the hose sections are too short and very difficult to fit the threads on the hose. It is deep enough for hardly one thread and it took several attempt and very strong hand pressure to fit and stay. Popped out few times and I think I now got it to stay. A deeper nut design that fits several more threads can help the situation. The obvious positive about the device is that it actually cleans and picks any thing from fine dust to leaves when it passes over it. There is a problem, though, the device has two wheels on one side and one on the other which makes it always inclined to turn one way and it stops in corners until the reverse valve pulls it out. The interesting thing is it goes from end to end and stops in the same corner and the reverse valve pulls it to the same position every time, it turns the same way and it goes from end to end again in the same pattern. This means that the device does not go in random routes and virtually goes through the same routes across the pool. As I said it cleans whatever in its way but its route is almost the same all the time. one more thing, the little maneuvering hose sprays water out of the pool very frequently which makes it unpleasant to sit around the pool. I followed the instructions and added a little weight to keep it under the water for the most part. It helped. In total, it is a good cleaning device but not sure yet as to how much these problems can be accommodated. Update: Now that we have the cleaner for a while we can firmly reduce our rating from the previous three stars to one. It is a flawed design. I can list a lot of problems but will limit it to the important ones. First of all the little hose that wags to make the motion random wags very well but it has a very similar function to a dog tail. It wags but the dog goes in the same direction. It does not do anything. This means that the device motion is not really random at all. In fact I can draw the motion from one end of the pool to the other inch by inch and it is very consistent.. So, the end that has a couple of small steps that are vertical (like all steps) serves the device very nicely as a break which lasts about 80% of the time at least leaving it to move to the other end for the other 20% of the time. That means it is 25% efficient at best. One may say so what? when the device stays and stuck at the same point for so long, it rubs the wheels in the floor which results in a very rapid wear and tear. The people at Leslie's pool suggested some plastic pipes or something to block it from going to those places. I tried that and it gets stuck on that too. The bottom line is, the way the motion and the shape of the front makes an awkward device that is farthest from a hydro dynamic shape. I strongly recommend against it. ... show more

  • It Could Reverse Better But Cleans My Pool Well (UPDATED REVIEW) (UPDATED AGAIN 7/10/25)
Got this to replace the old Ray-Vac which isn't manufactured anymore unfortunately BUT ANYWAYS- The Polaris 360 works well overall ALTHOUGH the reversing device in the hose could be more powerful to get it out of the corner near the stairs. I have more than ample pressure too because I have a DEDICATED LINE in the pool for a cleaner. I'm thinking of ordering just that particular part to see if it will work better. The thing about this pool cleaner is that it has a bunch of MOVING PARTS which over time will wear out versus my old cleaner which had about ZERO moving parts. We shall see. Another thing is that the owners manual could be better written- more descriptive, especially when it comes to adjusting the rear driving jet. One last thing is that the bag could be improved by getting rid of the Velcro closure and having a plastic zipper or something else because as you are emptying the bag, the Velcro keeps wanting to close back up as you are dumping leaves and dirt out. I'm still glad to have found this replacement cleaner and it was recommended by others as well. UPDATE Still having an issue with it getting cornered by the pool stairs and it stays there sometimes during the whole cleaning cycle. It seems like the reversing valve isn't strong enough to pull it out of there. I've replaced the valve (bought a replacement), taken it apart to make sure there's no foreign object blocking flow, moved the floats around to different positions on the hose, turned it around to different positions, adjusted pressure---UGH!.....I'm lost. Meanwhile, I've got the cleanest pool stairs in America. The cleaner itself is great when it's free- it boogies right along fast and furious and does an EXCELLENT job cleaning. It has lots of power to the wheels and pretty most anything it runs over gets blown into the collector bag. Guess I'll just keep experimenting.... OK-----SECOND UPDATE (5/20/17) I have found that keeping the best performance for this cleaner is to keep the hose inlet screen clean, keep the collection bag empty, and make sure the sliding float on the back hasn't slid close back to the body of the cleaner. I have the rear jet adjusted all the way over towards the right and down. These factors seem to help it to REVERSE out of the stairs and other situations. It's taken some patience to discover the best operating procedure for this cleaner in my pool....some people might have returned it already!! I believe a better design would have the wheels reverse direction as well as the inline reversing jet kick in when it comes time to reverse direction. (NEW UPDATE 7/10/25) Ok---I ponied up for my THIRD Polaris 360. The thing about this pool cleaner is that the parts are readily available BUT----when you start totaling up the time and money for those parts, it's just cheaper and quicker to get a whole new piece of equipment. And now that I know how to dial this in to work for my pool, its even better. Another good thing is this particular model works WITHOUT having to add a booster pump for more pressure, truly a win for clean pools. :) ... show more

  • POLARIS 360 - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
Ok let me give everyone the scoop on the POLARIS 360: 1. Let me start by saying the product is awesome, performs perfectly. I had a "stingray" - when that wore out, I bought a Clean Machine from Costco. That lasted about 5 years, broke, Costco took it back (love Costco). 2. This product is for Pressure side cleaners. This means that you have a fitting in the side of your pool that squirts water INTO the pool. YOU DO NOT NEED AN EXTRA PUMP FOR THE POLARIS 360. 3. In shopping for this product, I went to Leslie Pools and asked for inputs. They showed me all the electric cleaners (really expensive), and the pool sweeps that required an extra pump (also expensive). When I told them I thought I needed a pressure side sweep, they acted confused and told me I needed an extra pump installed. Finally I found the Polaris 360, hidden around the corner, on the bottom shelf, and asked if that would work for my pressure side pool. They finally said yes. I did not by the 360 at Leslie, it was $200 more than what I paid on Amazon. 4. The product comes with the correct fitting so that you can mount the hose in the side of your pool. Simple exercise to replace the fitting, takes you 10 minutes. You may need a big C plier to take the old one off - but this is very easy. 5. When you install your sweep, it may take some minor adjustments - the instruction book is very clear. You will have no trouble. 6. I leave mine in the pool unless we are swimming, then I take it out. 7. This product does an excellent job of cleaning out big leaves, dirt, rocks, everything. 8. The pool bag that comes with it has velcro, it works just fine. If you want extra bags, make sure you get the ones that have the small stitching up the inside of the bag to create a space for the debris. I bought 2 extra bags for $20. You can get them cheaper, but they don't have the stitching you need to collect and keep the debris. 9. This product was ~$450...much cheaper than the other options. The materials are excellent, and replacement parts are easy to get. Enjoy this Pool Sweep. Great product. ... show more

  • Update: June 22: Hose connector “swivels” don’t swivel. Polaris “eats” it’s tail
Fantastic device. I purchased one of these about 5 years ago and have ran it non-stop ever since. It is a marvelous invention. Only recommendation for new users is to purchase two (2) extra debris bags. This makes it easy to turn off the pump, raise the Polaris unit, and swap out the dirty bag for a new one. Also recommend buying spare tail scrubber (foam) attachments. They're cheap, and you never want to use this unit without a foam tail tip (could damage the liner, unlikely but possible...but the tail foam "sweeps" the pool bottom very nicely). The brain behind this unit is contained within the minor adjustments you can make on the Polaris unit itself (small buoyancy adjustment possible aft of the bag via the balance float) and the aft water jet. The reverse / repositioning computer is a few gears that time-out then divert water pressure to the reverse computer, as the entire Polaris unit is then thrust backward (or which ever way the reverse / repositioning computer and the hose length) as allowed by the positioning of the flexible hose effects on the Polaris. It's a relaxing experience just watching this thing. Brilliantly engineered. Very durable. I probably didn't need to buy a new one, but thought it was a good time to rebuild the old one, and now with the new unit at 100%, I can take my time servicing the old unit. I paid less than four hundred dollars for this unit. In reduction of frustration and nearly elimination of any work necessary to be performed manually to the pool, I'd say this unit is worth at least three times that amount. My only minor complaint about the new unit is the absence of a quick connect / quick disconnect eyeball return line to be installed where the Polaris is connected (to your nearest return line's socket -- it comes with a threaded fitting & a quick connect / disconnect). Last recommendation for the customer is to purchase a large plastic storage container (e.g., an oversized Tupperware unit) that is large enough to place the Polaris into when it is not in use, and stored in a ventilated area that is safe from pilferage. Highly recommend this unit. By the way, I'm using mine with a Hayward SP 1HP 110 volt-powered pump - which works fine. No booster pump is necessary in my case. ... 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

  • Works Well if you understand it's limitations and set your expectations accordingly
I live in Texas and don't close my pool up for the Winter, the Polaris 360 runs 365 days a year for about 10 hours a day. I just installed my "2nd" Polaris 360 because I've reached the point where the previous 360 is in need of yearly significant maintenance ($100 or more). I am at the point after 10 years that my previous 360 needed a new body, a factory rebuild kit, and hose wall connection. When I considered the cost of those parts alone, I have over 1/2 the cost of a new one and the new one comes with a new bag + pressure hose + back up value etc. When I considered looking forward over the next few years, I'd have to add other parts, I figured the "sum of the whole was less than the sum of the parts." Now some more comments. I also have been a previous owner of Polaris 280 sweep that used a booster pump. They clearly work better, but you have now added another expensive item, the booster pump, that adds expense by having another electrical hog running and will eventually need repair work. This is why I didn't choose a booster pump driven sweep on my 2nd pool. I am also a owner of a Aquabot Turbo that I used about 8 times a year because it takes more attention. It is effective in picking up items, so after every 6-8 hour run I find I must pull it out of the pool and clean the bag. The Polaris will run for 1/2 a week without requiring attention to the bag (but it's not as effective). I also have found if I don't take the Aguabot out of the pool and allow the cord to "dry out" the cord tends to be more likely to be tangled up in the rollers on the Aguabot (I think the foam might get water logged but this is based on my experience) I use it mostly in the Spring to help prepare my pool for the swimming season It does a good job at just over the 2x the expense of a Polaris 360. And if the bag is kept fairly clean, it will climb and scrub right up to the coping (yes, partially out of the water). So why a 360? It does a decent job of keeping the water sediment stirred up for the filtration system to remove and vacuuming the items like sand, stones, sticks and leaves off the pool bottom. It does have a hard time climbing walls, and thus I've never had success with it climbing the stairs or very far up the walls. Little to no added electrical cost is a plus for me. The down side is of course the parts as they wear out. Locally the pool supply stores provide the labor for free if you buy the parts (Leslie's is one example). I learned that when the feed hose starts to go, you can just repair the failed section, but you are likely going to discover over the course of the season that each section starts failing, so to remove frustration, I'd suggest replacing the hose at once. So over 10 years, I did one factory rebuild kit in the 5th year, probably 1 bag a year, 3 to 4 tail sweep scrubbers every year, about 8 tail wear rings, 1 back up valve in year 9, a new feeder hose with swivels at year 6 and a few other miscellaneous parts. Last season I noticed the neck on my 360 had lost a piece where the bag clips on, so if I wanted to "repair" it was about $60 for a new body. I do notice that when kids swim, they rarely remove it from the pool and thus are often tempted to stand on it. Understanding that this pool sweep is sitting in chemically treated water and running 10 hours each day, it's bound to wear out and need maintenance. I think if your expectations keep this in mind, you'd probably be happy with it. So it's not perfect, but for me, the cost is reasonable to the benefit of not having to vacuum the pool or tend to the pool sweep as often. My summary is that it wasn't until the 4th season I started seeing maintenance becoming more than just replacing items that are expected and meant to wear out like the tail scrubber, silt bags, wear rings, etc. ... show more
