    Polaris 360

    We installed the Polaris 360 this weekend. However, I am not sure if it is running the way it should. We have 3 returns and a rainfall. We reduced the flow to two of the jets and installed the Polaris on the other. The Polaris itself is working fine. The potential issue is that when the...

    No question. Just wanted to say...

    Thank you for such an awesome site. Our pool was just installed a few weeks ago. Due to 28 days of rain, the concrete was poured this week. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found this site. You have helped my understanding of the seeming complicated ins and out of pool...
