does this thing work with the Polaris pool cleaner? If so where do you attach it?

We have a suction style cleaner. It says to attach within some many feet away from the port in the wall of the pool. As the water is pulled through it turns a gear to Un twist the hose. It should work both ways.

You have to cut the first or second hose and attach each in between. I think it will work on any pool vacuum that uses standard hoses.

It hooks into the suction hose. Cut suction hose about 2 ft from skimmer add device to short hose and then connect rest of hose

Yes it works on my zodiacFollow the instructions includedI hooked it 6" from the wall on the vacuum line for the zodiacAn adapter hooks to the zodiacThen the twister rotates three times per hour which is just enough torque on the hose line to direct the zodiac out of the spots it tends to get stuck in

The Polaris will not suck up pool toys of a normal size.Something small enough for it to suck up,it will.

the 78100 is a universal center plow mount. to attach it you will need the 87355 mounting plate for your Polaris

It has a pretty wide variety of attachments and different heads available, so you'd probably have no trouble retrofitting the pool attachment to one of the heads and keeping the interchangeability intact.That's a pretty clever use for it, as the poles don't have any rusting parts (I think, never really immersed mine in a pool so I can't be sure) and dry out quickly (this part I'm sure on).

I think you would have a hard time attaching it to a Polaris rack. It mounts with U bolts around the bars of a bar style rack.

Hi, and thanks for your interest in our cleaner. One of our hose ends fits one end of a standard (e.g. Hayward) leaf catcher....for the other side you would use an adapter which we can include with your purchase. Just make sure I have your name and address and can identify you as the party needing the adapter. Thanks, Dave, at Poolmaid USA, 954-270-7653

I have 2 ladders and got 2 sets. The polaris still gets stuck! I don't know if I need to put another set on each ladder or not. I will decide when we get our pool up and going this summer.

No. Everything required for the Polaris to operate within the pool is included. It is expected that a booster pump connection is supplied and available about midway along the long edge of the pool. This extra pressure drives the mechanism within the Polaris as well as a jet of water that provides the negative pressure on the bottom of of the Polaris that draws material off the bottom of the pool. I hope this answered your question.

I didn't know there were different sizes. I would check the polaris website for your model and the parts list/diagram to be sure. And the manuals are there too for the proper lengths per your pool size.

It's intended to be inserted between two sections of the hose connected to your existing pool cleaner/vac. It prevents little things sucked in by the cleaner/vac from getting to the filter and pump.

Pretty easy. All you need is a screw driver. Took about 10 minutes. Wait until your pool water is warm to install. I climbed down on the ladder and attached it to the rail. My husband handed the pieces to me as I needed them. You place one piece on front of rail and the other on the rear of rail. Place screw into hole and tighten with screw driver. It is very easy. I recommend getting 2 sets, I got one set and placed it on pool ladder. After watching it over the week, I discovered that another set was needed. After that, never had the Polaris getting caught in the ladder again.

Yes, if you do not have an APC they sell some adapters for the independent suction line (different than the skimmer the pool has) or ask for the adapter to connect on the skimmer basket.I hope that helps.

I just have a standard telescoping metal pole that came with my above ground pool. The plastic arm on this vacuum head slides inside the pole and clicks into place with two plastic pop-out tabs. Works well.

I mounted it to my Polaris 550. I just removed my rear rack and drilled holes through it into the box. Mounted the box and sealed the holes with some silicone to keep water out. It's not hard to do if you do want to go that route.

The previous answers are all correct. The pump would require a bypass on the volute chamber or voluth if you prefer. Another possible shut of would be a pressure sensor that would release a motor contact set and there is not anything resembling these two things on this pump. However, if you need the pressure to not exceed a set point any one of these two options could be added to the pump. NOTE: all Polaris system use a pressure relief device located at the connection at the pool side. This is where the hose connects from the outlet to the Polaris unit. If the pressure gets to high it blows a disk off and the back pressure is released. The previous answers are all correct.

There are two small push-in buttons on the plastic part that connects to the Polaris. Push those in and then pull the plastic part off. It should be very easy once you push in the buttons. I hope this helps!

I have a Polaris vacuum for my pool. The hose from the vacuum goes directly to the filter. When I bought the canister it connects to the vacuum hose between filter and vacuum and saves the filter basket from filling up so fast and lightens the load on the motor. We have many leaves in the fall and winter and this works great. Get the large one.
