Polaris cleaners are the most popular cleaners on the market. They are durable, reliable, & can save the homeowner a ton of work by keeping the pool swept on a daily basis. Like everything else though, issues do arise. The most common issues I hear are the cleaners getting stuck, running slow, and tangling itself up. You can determine the cause of your problem with a process of elimination. The first things you will want to check are; A. Is my pump & skimmer baskets empty B. Has my filter been backwashed recently C. Are all of my hose connections tight & secure D. Are all the valves on my suction header & pressure side in the correct position E. Is my pump impeller free and clear of debris

If you can answer yes to all of these questions & none of them solved your issue, you may have to do some further investigations & maintenance. The unit should run at 28-34 wheel revolutions per minute. The way to determine if yours is running properly is to pull your unit to the edge of the pool. While still submerged, turn the unit sideways to where the single side wheel is up. Mark the wheel with a sharpie & count the revolutions for one minute. If your wheel is turning more than 34 times, you can adjust the pressure relief valve or install the restrictordisk's that came with your Polaris.

Another issue that can occur is wear on the gear system. Over time the gears can become brittle and wear down. Luckily, Polaris has planned for this and makes a rebuild kit. It comes with basically all the parts except the frame. They also have a tune up kit which alot of people will use to ensure the life of their unit & to keep problems from ever coming up.

If you have ever sat in a sauna, then you are aware of the awesome sensation of the heat in your nose and over your body. What you may not be aware of is all of the health benefits of using one. Pain relief, weight loss, exercise, detoxification, stress relief, and skin care are just a few on the list. The heat is the magic. Heat causes blood vessels to expand, which allows oxygen to be carried to injured parts of the body. In turn this speeds up the healing process. It also causes the heart rate to increase up to 70%. That's the same as a long brisk walk! If your anything like me, I would MUCH rather sit in the comforts of a warm sauna with my mp3 player than out in the elements walking. Heat therapy also loosens the muscles, so you can relax as if you were getting a massage. When you begin to sweat, dead cells are removed from the surface of the skin causing a clean & clear complexion. No matter what age or walk of life you come from, there are countless benefits you can enjoy by owning a sauna.

Typically during the winter months, homeowners do not have to worry about their pools quite as much. With the cold temperatures and lack of sunlight, algae tends not to grow. With this in mind, a lot of pool-people tend to wait until late into the spring to open their pool. This may save you a few bucks, but it also gives those pesky spores time to grow. With a solid safety cover its usually fine to wait, but if you have a mesh cover or poly cover, there are a few minor steps you can take to ensure your pool is nice & pristine upon opening.

Every few weeks pull up a corner of your cover. Depending on your pool's size, put in a few pounds of shock.

Next, take your brush & brush the chlorine out toward the center of the pool. Doing so will circulate the water and spread the chlorine throughout the pool. Every time you do this, do it on the opposite corner.

Another step you can take to lighten the load come spring is to clean the debris off of your cover. If you wait for a dry spell, you may be able to use a leaf blower. If the debris is just to wet, your net or brush on your telescopic pole makes a good rake. We recommend using a leaf net. With the leaf net, you can drag the debris from the top of your cover, bag it in the yard, and return the net to the cover.

Taking these steps throughout the winter months will lighten the load come spring.
