The newer Polaris cleaner models have the serial number stamped on a sticker on the back of the cleaner. If the serial number starts with a “K” it will be a 380, if it starts with “C” it will be a 280, if it starts with a “L” it will be a 360.
Just so, how can you tell the difference between Polaris 280 and 380?
The 280 has two jet nozzles to push it around the pool and help it go up and down like a lizard climbing the side of a house. The Polaris 380 has three jets, which helps it move faster and grip tighter when it climbs.
Consequently, are pool vacuums worth it?

Can I leave my robotic pool cleaner in the pool?
You can swim while your bot cleans the pool, but it’s better not to. Swimming churns up the water. If the machine is in the water at the time, the current will buffet it, making it harder for it to complete its work. It’ll have to work harder to cover the same ground.
Why does my Polaris keep getting tangled?
– The tangles happen almost exclusively when backing up. The backup valve gets near where the hose plugs into the wall and it starts to spin in random circles. – The Polaris doesn’t seem to have enough strength to untangle the hose even if it’s not knotted.
Why does my Polaris keep getting stuck?
Adjust the float about 1 inch from the mast pipe. So push it all the way in and then pull back about an inch. If it still get stuck adjust the thrust jet at the back by slightly loosing the screws on around the base of the jet and play around with it until it covers the pool properly. Hope this helps.

Can you leave a Polaris pool cleaner in the pool?
Leaving the cleaner in the pool 24/7 increases its exposure to corrosive chemicals in the water, such as chlorine or shock. Over time, these chemicals break down parts in the cleaner and discolor the cleaner. The truth of the matter is – everyone leaves them in the pool, pretty much all the time.
Should water be coming out of Polaris pressure relief valve?
Nope, it’s doing what it’s supposed to do….the pressure relief valve is supposed to let out whatever excess water pressure your polaris does not need. So, if you want it to stop “leaking” you can send less water to the polaris return, but then you run the risk of the unit not getting enough pressure…..
How do you adjust the thrust on a Polaris pool cleaner?
Moving the jet nozzle on a Polaris pool cleaner affects how it moves in the pool.

- Moving the jet left moves the Polaris left.
- Moving the jet right moves the Polaris to the right.
