My Polaris keeps getting stuck on the steps or the pool deck ledge. Is this one apt to get stuck or can it free itself easily?

It has to do with how the PoolCleaner works. After every 10-12 (i belive so) rotations of the wheels the cleaner pauses a mechanical randomizer kicks in and it changes its direction using the gearing mechanism. As a result this cleaner not get stuck, I have used my for months and it is this great feature that prevents it from getting stuck. Please watch a video or two from youtube and check this out for yourself.

The Poolcleaner spins around every so often, and heads off in a different direction, and automatically frees itself. My old Kreepy got stuck almost every time, the poolcleaner has never stuck - I love it.

My Polaris got stuck as did others I tried. So far this one has not got stuck even once

My pool has steps and a large deck or shallow area and the the Poolcleaner does not get stuck. It moves randomly and spins around on its own so it should work for you as well.

It doesn't climb steps .. But doesn't get stuck "anywhere" it reverses and gets out

I replaced my pool.cleaner with this one because my old pool cleaner constantly got stick. The Poolcleaner has not gotten stuck even once! I have never had to move it or anything!! I had to adjust the suction a little to make it climb the walls higher but thats it. This one automatically turns and heads in random directions which is why it doesn't stick anywhere. Occasionally it will get stuck on a ledge I have but then it spins and frees itself. Its awesome.

They helped me out. But I would recommend getting 2 sets of the ladder guards. I thought one set would belp. Of course the Polaris climbed above the set and got caught. Get 2, takes about 10 minutes to install with a screwdriver. No more dislodging Polaris with your pool brush!

Yes it does. If you have a Polaris 9000 series pool robot, it may not help you, since the robot may still get stuck on it.

I would suggest contacting warn directly. I'm sure the winch will work but you have to buy the warn mounting bracket for the Polaris. I just used my winch two weeks ago on my honda foreman to pull out a pick-up truck stuck in sand. I am amazed at what a warn winch will do.

I would not ignore this, if it is pulling straight, you might be fine. If it is putting side pressure on it, you will probably ruin the inside and destroy it. I installed my lift on a Polaris with custom made brackets.

You will have to drain the water and add the sand, then leaving the top holes open allow the cavities with sand to fully fill with water by rocking the steps back and forth to get all of the air out. If you do not add sand, I do not believe the steps will be stable even when anchored. My pool coping is 3-1/2" above my deck and I cut 10" lengths of 4x4 to fill the space between deck and deck connectors. I rounded the corners of the 4x4 then screwed to the deck. I then attached the deck connectors to the 4x4's. It sounds like you will need to use a 4x6 or something similar. I wish Confer would provide a better solution, but until then this worked for me.

Go to the Vendor by Amazon Email--He was very helpful to me and I have the Unit on my 2012 UTV Polaris 800XL EPS Crew--I will also advise, if you are not really good at putting things on your Unit---It's worth an hour to have them install. Personally, I do not plan to top the top window down but should I want I can.

Hi, Chris from Polar USA here. As mentioned previously. It should work great in the pool! I have logged many many laps with mine. As another poster mentioned, the initial push off sometimes causes the transmitter to slip down. We find if we place the transmitter in our back, (upside down so the L/R sides of the transmitter are still on the L/R sides of your body) this reduces the drag and prevents that from happening. Please give us a ring if you have any questions. Chris @ Polar USAtwitter.com/chrispolarusa

The Polaris 360 is a side pressure cleaner, meaning that it attaches to a port on the side of your pool that jets water INTO it and makes it travel around. If your Jandy does that, then the Polaris should work. If your pool is like mine, however, with only a SUCTION port on the side, it will not. After several attempts to redirect enough water from the pump by closing off all other jets, it was still not enough pressure to make the cleaner move. Polaris's statement that the Polaris 360 works in ALL pools without a dedicated pump is misleading. Check to see if your system requires a pressure cleaner or a suction cleaner.

It is installed by the two screws that come with the guard. There are two pieces, one wraps around the ladder tube and then you screw it into the other piece. I think it is easier to install before you put the ladder in the water, otherwise you will have to screw while in the water. I actually needed two on one ladder, because that polaris climbs the wall....Hope this helps

I have never had the rake get stuck. I would think turn it off and back on again. If not, check with manufacturer. Sorry I can't be more help.

Oh. The reason it gets stuck is cause of the brush on its side. I bet if u removed that with a screwdriver. The issue would go away.

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.

I have this winch on my Polaris Sportsman, The winch mounts low and I have had lots of problems with water and corrosion. It is a good powerful unit just not good for wet location.

Just purchased this pool cleaner. Mine is trying to climb up the walls but just does quite make it. I adjusted the skimmer and the wheel revolutions are correct. I'm going to try adding more hose because I noticed that it does loop once because of the turning. My pool is basically clean. I purchased this because all other cleaners that I've had, always got stuck near the steps. This one doesn't so I'm satisfied. If I can get it to climb, I'll be very satisfied.

If you have 2 set of ladders on each side of the pool like I have, you might want 2 sets. One set for each ladder. If your Polaris only gets stuck on one side then one set. I have 2 sets. One set you get 2 panels. They do work. Sometimes the Polaris goes underneath the steps but nothing you can do. Get 2 sets. Then you'll be fine.

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power.. I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guess the two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked
