H. Storage
Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight or with
the feed hose coiled.
If coils do form, lay the hose in the sun or
soak it in hot water to help straighten it
before reinstalling.
I. Winterizing
Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
Remove the Polaris from the pool and drain all the
water before storing for the winter. Also, drain all
the water out of the booster pump by removing the
drain plug (see index number 14 on page 13).
Use the quick disconnect to remove the universal
wall fitting. Attach the quick disconnect, pull it away
from the pool wall and unscrew. In some cases,
it may be necessary to use the universal wall fitting
removal tool (part #10-102-00) available from your
participating Polaris dealer.
Please Note: If quick freeze conditions exist,
be sure the filtration pump is running and forcing
water through the booster pump. If there is a gate
valve installed, open it completely so water will
flow through the booster pump.
J. Accessories
1. Sweep Hose Weight (Part #B2)
If the sweep hose or the thrust jet tend to break
the surface of the water – squirting nearby win-
dows, pool decking, or innocent bystanders –
a sweep hose weight can be installed.
2. Ladder Guard Kit (Part #G21)
The ladder guard kit will help prevent the Polaris
from getting hung up around the pool ladder or
handrails.
