My old Polaris 360 can’t keep up with the oak tree tassels and yellow pollen that are taking over the pool. I decided to try an inexpensive vacuum head pool floor cleaner. The one I bought at WM came with a hose and I also bought a skimmer plate. I put everything together but wondered if I need to remove the Polaris 360 from the pressure outlet or plug that outlet?
Remove Polaris 360 before using a vacuum head floor cleaner?

Welcome to TFP.
The Polairs 360 in your pressure line will not have any effect on your suction cleaner connected to a skimmer plate.

The only issue should be that the 360 can stir up the debris before you can reach it with the vacuum. You don't need to remove it but changing a valve position so that it doesn't run while vacuuming would solve that issue.
And, you will find that you can't keep up with that kind of debris all the time, nature never sleeps or takes a break. Don't be too discouraged.
