Which Is The Best Inground Pool Automatic Vaccuum


Recommended Posts

Hello, i use to install inground pools, i only installed polaris 380 units. The pool i built for myself is a small kideny shaped pool.The polaris spends the bulk of its time sitting against the wall wheels spinning until the back up valve drags it back. It does after about 12 hours clean the tinly pool. Im done with the polaris units!!!!!

Is there one that actually moves all around the pool, climbs the walls and continues to move when it hits the walls? One that really does as it should......

What models and makes...

thanks

How old is your unit?

It sounds like the tires are worn and need to be replaced. If the tires have a rounded outer edge, what you describe is the symptom.

Normally, a Polaris will climb the wall to the surface and then turn in another direction.

It wouldnt do that the day i installed it! Never even came close...just bumps up against the wall and sits there spinning its wheels waiting for the backup to drag it back only to hit the wall again and repeat the same things.....on rare times it will hit the wall and divert along it but NEVER climb it. I did the thing where you count the turns of the wheels and put in the appropriate disc..so thats right, the tail goes back and forth but it has never climbed , the float is back or up makes no difference, i have changed the direction to every oclock there is..i leave it at 11 oclock but the results have always been the same...thought maybe i just got a bad one. Just bought a second one and it does the same....i hate polaris!!!

Will be selling them both on ebay
