Looks like your float has bite marks. Could cause a leak. The positioning looks good. Does the sweephose at the back function correctly with a gentle sweeping motion? It can be adjusted up and down with the metal screw on the side.

Yes this is the 280. It is a very reliable workhorse. Step 1 download the manual from the website if you don't have one and follow the troubleshooting sequence. The new models have the same mechanisms and operating instructions. I think you should check for a leaky float by taking it off and...

thanks, sorry I am new to the forum and since my last question figured out all the pool detail is in your profile. What I suggest is that you look at the cleaner compared to what is on the Polaris website. It should be easy for you to figure out which one it is, eg 360/380/280/480 and so on. I...

With robotic cleaners it is best especially when they are new just to work with the manufacturer to get it repaired. In certain cases they will repair free of charge out of warranty if you ask them to (if it turns out to be a problem they know about). DIY becomes an option later on for the...

If there is water coming out of the black pressure relief you most likely have enough flow through the booster pump. In rare cases the valve releases too much pressure if the valve is damaged or worn. Let me know which Polaris cleaner you own and I may be able to help you a little more. Have...

You will need an adapter. They have one available for the Zodiac leaf catcher which will work for the female cuff. Best to go to a pool store like a Leslie's where they have adapters from all the manufacturers and will help you select suitable connectors for regular hose. What is the reason you...

Can you tell us which type of Polaris you own, how old it is and the type of pool, eg plaster, vinyl, size etc?

look at the Polaris 9300i and also Dolphin products

You should find out if the cleaner can work with ordinary Hayward or maybe Polaris hose and maybe replace it so you don't need the quick disconnect system which is a interesting design but prone to fail. I use Devcon Epoxy in our engineering lab which bonds to anything and lasts underwater. You...

I strongly recommend you take it in to a Polaris dealer who will take care of you. If the in line filter is not blocked it should not be clogged jets and it will most likely be an o-ring that blew out or something wrong in the water manifold system. If your cleaner is in warranty no problem. If...

Do you "rinse" your sand filter after back-washing it? ZeoSand and other similar sand filter media also have excellent ability to filter out dust. ZeoSand is green-colored zeolite. It offers a unique three-dimensional-honeycomb structure and rough, pitted surface. ZeoSand’s crystal...

Sometimes the plastic pins inside the fitting will break.off rendering the uwf tool useless.If that happens you can use medium channel lock pliers and grab the edge of the fitting diametrically across and firmly dig the teeth into the plastic before turning out. If that is not possible try and...
