Polaris 280 refuses to go into one part of shallow end

[Lbray812]

Hi all
I can’t get my Polaris 280 to clean this side of the pool.

I swear I have tried every direction of the thrust. The Polaris refuses to go to the circled part of shallow end. Every time It is headed there It turns right. I have tried 9 o clock on the thrust. Nothing. Any other ideas?

Thanks all!
Louis

Probably due to the slope of your floor.

I have a few spots my Polaris cleaner seems to always miss. I use my pool brush and push dirt in those areas into the areas the Polaris likes. You should be brushing your pool occasionally anyway.

It looks like there is a return line right above that area. It may be forcing the hose away from that area. It looks like there is a current away from that side of the pool. If you don't have a "directional" eyeball fitting there, get one and have it point down. That in itself will help keep that area cleaner. If you do have one and it is pointing down, the flow may be pushing the Polaris away. Face it more upwards. Some pools just don't lend themselves to all pool cleaners.
That's a lot of hose in the picture. Was it ever cut correctly? Can't see the entire pool.
There are also a lot of curves/coils in that hose. Is it stored when out of the pool in a coil? That will reshape the hose into those curves permanently and could be a part of the problem. If at all possible, when the cleaner is out of the pool, lay the hose straight so the Sun doesn't re-shape it.
