I have plastic pool steps that attach to a small deck.The polaris sweep bag gets trapped behind them.Will these panels solve the problem.

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!

You would need to buy enough for it to extend the entire length of the steps on both sides. I still need to get a second set for my ladder, but yes, it absolutely stops the Polaris from getting stuck.

These will work. You have to install these around the round part of the steps. They will block the Polaris from going behind the steps as you say.

Yes it will, as long as they stay on the surface. We have a dog who sheds a lot & that's why we bought ours. The skimmer has become obsolete. Now I only have to use our Hayward Navigator sweep about once a week.

I doubt it. They attach to the vertical side rales of the pool ladder with a clamp that runs parallel to the edge of the shield. They have to be clamped to some pole or rail. If you can be more specific, I will try to help.

Yes. You may have to attach the railings to the deck, but that shouldn't be too big of a problem. I actually reversed my steps. The ladder is inside the pool and the steps are outside. We found it safer.

I would say not. This unit does great with leaves and debris that has made it to the bottom of the pool. It has a bagger that is swept around the pool scooping stuff into it. The mess on the bag is fine and it traps a lot of stuff that you don't even realize is in the pool.

We clean the pool before we use the solar cover. I'm not sure what you mean by "trapping dirt". It lays directly on the pool water so if there is a lot of surface debris it will get on the cover.

Hi, Mr. Coughlin Thanks for your interest in our cleaner. I wasn't familiar with the term Cabo Deck....in searching for it, I also came across Acapulco Ledge and Martini Seat. So I assume it is a shallow ledge at side of pool. You don't mention the position of your suction connection...for a 15x30 pool with corner skimmer, the included hoses usually suffice, with at most one more section needed. Plenty of hose in the box for a center VacLoc fitting. With your larger pool you might need 3 or 4 extra lengths to reach far corners. Again, thanks for considering our cleaner. Dave

It connects in-line with the the vacuum hose - so if the Polaris Vac-Sweep 65 uses a vacuum hose going to the pool skimmer, it should work.

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.

Hi this is Steve at Aqua Products: While our unit may work under floating covers Robotic cleaners have floating cables and the cover will most likely affect their ability to move about the pool. So in sum I recommend not to use it while covered. Hope this helps.

I suppose it would if you have a 4 pool cove around the bottom if you're short be to have any gaps at the top where there's less weight for possible tears.

Ragz, Let me start with the fact I have a 25000 gallon pool also and I use a Polaris 360 sweep on pressure side with out booster pump. I have set the Max speed to 2200 rpm. At 0730 in the morning the pump comes on at 1750 rpm and a auto valve opens to operate the sweep. It runs at this rate for 2 hours. At that time ,0930, the auto valve closes and the pump is then programed to run at 1250 rpm till 6:00 that evening, and then shuts off for the night. The only other change is for my solar heating which is handled by a auto solar control panel .if the pool water temp is lower then then solar heat set the pump will kick back up to 1600 rpm to circulate water through the solar panels. If the outside temp is hotter then the water temp it will extend the pump run time till air temp falls below pool temp. If you don't have the solar option by earlier suggestion works great for me. As a disclosure Im in northern California with out extreme low temps and hot summers

I have a vinyl liner and YES it does... I was very surprised but it does, my pool is 10ft and 3ft deep and it goes all around except the walk in steps, obviously.

I have found that two things cause Polaris feed hose tangles. As the hose ages, it gets stiffer. When the Polaris circles the pool, the hose overlaps and the loops tend to hook into each other. The other contributor is a faulty swivel. The swivel becomes old and does not turn easily. The swivel may also leak which causes loss of water pressure to Polaris. When pushing the hose onto a swivel end, be sure to grab the swivel with a pair of pliers on the end that is mating with the hose. This prevents the bearings from getting twisted off axis.

I have a 16' X 4' round Intect soft side vinyl liner pool and use it for that. It works reasonably well; however, I found that since I have about an inch of sand under the pool's bottom as a cushion, footprints left from bathers make vacumming the bottom a bit tricky. The lumps left don't permit the head to glide smoothly across the bottom and multiple passes are needed at times to pick up the debris, etc. It would work well on a smooth bottom above ground pool.

I had to drill out my holes with I believe a 3/8" drill bit. The holes on the steps are definitely too small. I spoke with my pool supplier about using smaller bolts rather than drilling the holes bigger and he said absolutely no. The smaller bolts would greatly reduce the amount of weight that the steps could hold. My supplier also told me that it is perfectly fine to drill the holes bigger. It will not damage or reduce the weight limit of the steps.

Well my pool floor and sides are built with plaster like most pools. I'm not sure if the sweeper will get hung up on uneven tile surfaces. If the tile surface is pretty even I'm almost sure it will work. As for me I love it. It does what it suppose to do and it's reasonably price
