JFS Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 I have a Polaris 180 sweep which I have had for 25 yrs and am pretty good at troubleshooting it. Lately it has been tieing itself in knotts.I have noticed the hose from wall to unit seems to be laying close to bottom rather than top of the water. Does the hose or floats eventually go bad? I did replace pump about month ago, do not know if this is related. Any comments or suggestions appreciated. Also, where is the best place to order Polaris parts Thanks-Joe Quote
Pool Clown Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Replace any float not floating on the first two hoses (from the wall). Can't help with the on-line parts. Quote

Found article saying old Polaris 180 floats were made of material that after long period of time absorbed water causing line to sink to bottom, also hose would become very brittle with time.I also found site with best prices, POOLCENTER.COM. They also have online chat which was immediate, knowlegeable and very helpfull. Will report if this doesnt solve my prob or if POOLCENTER.COM isnt what it appears to be.-Joe Quote
