A Polaris cleaner has water tubes inside that direct pressure throughout the cleaning unit. They can sometimes become disconnected, which reduces the internal pressure, which makes the cleaner stop moving. Open up the cleaner and make sure all the internal tubing is connected the way it’s supposed to be.
In this way, why is my robotic pool cleaner not moving?
If your robotic pool cleaner stops moving, check the power cord. It may not be plugged in properly or there may be a problem with the power supply. Check the power supply to make sure the indicator light is on. If it is and the pool cleaner is still not moving, then the problem lies with the cleaner.

Why my pool skimmer has no suction?
When your pool skimmer has no suction, the cause is most likely a blockage. This can put the entire filtration system of the pool into question, as there will be low water pressure.
Why does my Polaris pool cleaner go in circles?
If your Polaris 65 is turning in a circle continuously rather than being random left or right, the randomizer ball is not coming free from the steering port. Being stuck means there is too much leakage into the steering section when the flow should be minimum.
Why is my Polaris tail not sweeping?
check the tail sweep hose for any hole caused from wear. check the orfice at the end of the tail sweep hose to be sure it is not worn or pluged.
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.
- Pointing the jet higher causes the Polaris to climb easier.
- Pointing the jet lower increases how firmly the Polaris hugs the bottom.
- Moving the jet left moves the Polaris left.
- Moving the jet right moves the Polaris to the right.
Why does my pool vacuum stay in one place?
The stronger the water flow, the more likely it is to get stuck in one place. You need some suction though or the pool won’t get cleaned properly. The easiest solution is a flow keeper valve. A flowkeeper valve is a valve that regulates the flow of water through the hose going to the cleaner.
Why is my Polaris moving so slow?
LOW PUMP PRESSURE
The pump can be pressure tested by using a Polaris cleaner pressure testing stick and a pressure gauge, placed on the end of the feed hose, to make sure that a problem of sluggish performance is not caused by the booster pump, or a leak or clog along the feed hose.
Why does the creepy stop working?
The most common cause for a Kreepy to stop working is clogged filter sand. This is easy to diagnose because whenever you backwash the pool filter, you’ll find that the Kreepy works like a bomb for 10 minutes. Then it gets sluggish and slows down or stops again.
Why does my Polaris pool cleaner get stuck in the corner?
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.
