If the end of the tail wears off, or if the wear rings wear down and a hole develops in the tail sweep, this can release enough water to slow down the cleaner.
Moreover, 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…..
Secondly, how does Polaris pressure relief valve work?
How many floats should be on a Polaris hose?

How do you adjust the thrust on a Polaris pool cleaner?

- 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.

How do you slow down a Polaris pool cleaner?
If you find that it’s running too quickly, you can slow it down by simply turning the screw (located at the base of the hose) by hand or with the use of an allen wrench/ hex wrench. To restrict the water flow and slow the sweep hose speed, rotate clockwise and vice versa for increased speed.
Why is my Polaris 280 laying on its side?
Why does my pool cleaner only stay in the deep end?
