  1. Polaris 360 wheels not moving however the tail whips. I can move one wheel no problem and all other 2 wheels move I can move one wheel no problem and all other 2 wheels move. See pics. Looks like no issues I have separate pump for Polaris. When I turn on, wheels not moving however the tail whips. It will also go through the cycle to back up and relocate Polaris. Filter clean on Polaris.
  2. I completely rebuilt my Polaris 360 a couple of months ago. It never worked better in years. Then it just stopped moving/rolling. I replaced the backup valve as it was 12 years old. It did not fix it. It rolls by itself, no obstruction. Looking into the open unit, all belts are connected and move manually. All drivetrain gears are good. No broken teeth. The float head is not full of water. The quick disconnect filter screen is clean. If I blow into the feed pipe, air comes out of the thrust jet. All the water management hoses are connected by original zip ties. Any ideas?
  3. I have good pressure. I bought a rebuild kit. I will post when I pull it apart
  4. I have a Polaris 360 where the single wheel side moves but the dual wheel side does not move. Both wheels on the 2 wheel side do not move. However the wheel on the single side turns. See attached pics. Everything looks good inside from my knowledge
  5. Great, now we all know there is no saltwater filter. How about you now contribute some useful information.
  6. Looking for a new salt water filer. I currently have a 20 year old cracked Hayward DE. My pool is 13Kgal I know my Hayward DE was real good but is it the best still. I am thinking technology must has something different.
  7. Is this normal. In Spa mode only I'm pulling 20 psi. When I put pool and spa I'm pulling 30 psi
  8. cleaner does not come on aqualink rs4 dispkays "cleaner will come on after safety delay" but never starts
  9. I need to drain my pool for repairs (has not ran in over a year). It is an in ground gunite pool. I have a backwash position with a hayward de filter. I am replacing the salt mod, controller as well as the filters. I would like to drain it using the backwash mode. Any tips or tricks to this?
  10. My buddys pool needs a new salt system. There are a lot of options out there. Looking for feedback on Pros & Cons of new systems you could recommend?
  11. I am fighting an algae problem. I am keeping my water chemistry in check. My local pool store is telling me that a lower PH will allow the chlorine to be at a higher level, is that true? Here is what they are telling me. Active Chlorine pH 97% 6.0 91% 6.5 76% 7.0 66% 7.2 50% 7.5 I do not plan on swimming any time soon and it is going to rain all weekend. Can’t I just lower my PH by adding some muriatic acid? Won't this help me fight the algae better? Thanks in advance.
  12. I searched but I could not find this answer. Does algaecide alter the Chlorine Levels? I am fighting an algae problem. I shocked the hell out of the pool and added algaecide. I also have Chlorine tabs in the floater. I tested the water 24hr later and it shows little Chlorine. Does the weather have anything to do with it? It is in the high 70’s and cloudy if that helps.
  13. Update. I cleaned the filter with TSP. Grids look fine except the area where they are collapsed. Put DE back in the pool and we will see what happens. We have had bad storms here and I am fighting a terrible algae bloom. I am dumping bleach in and keeping chlorine level high. Any other ideas? With the algae issue I feel I need to conquer 1st.
