Frequently Asked Questions - Quattro Sport POLARIS

How to adjust the wheel rotation speed?
The optimal speed is between 28 and 32 RPM. If too low, remove the blue flow restrictor disc or check the flow rate. If too high, install the red disc or loosen the pressure relief valve.
Why is my cleaner slow or not moving?
Check wheel speed, clean the filter canister, inline filter strainer, skimmer basket, pump, and pool filter. Look for leaks in hoses.
How to clean the filter canisters?
Press the lid release button, lift the handle to remove the canister, separate the two canisters by pressing the latch, empty debris and rinse with clean water.
How to install the cleaner in the pool?
Ensure the filter is clean and new hoses are flushed. Screw the UWF with the blue disc into the return line nozzle, connect the quick coupler, adjust hose length, place floats, and submerge the cleaner.
What to do if the hose tangles?
Check hose length, ensure swivels work freely, floats are properly spaced (30-90 cm), and wheel speed is correct. Lay hose in the sun to straighten.
How to store the cleaner for winter?
Remove the cleaner from the pool and drain all water. Unscrew the UWF from the wall. Store it away from frost and direct sunlight.
Why is the cleaner not climbing walls?
Check wheel speed (28-32 RPM), floats, lack of debris, and adjust sweep hose. For smooth surfaces, replace rear tires with PosiTrax tires.
How to adjust the sweep hose?
Use a screwdriver to unlock the square nut, turn the jet to desired position (standard at 3 o'clock), then retighten. Flow is adjusted by turning the jet left (decrease) or right (increase).
What is the role of the flow restrictor disc?
The blue disc reduces flow if wheel speed is too high; the red disc reduces further. Use them to maintain speed between 28 and 32 RPM.
What to do if the cleaner gets stuck on steps?
Check wheel speed, clean filter canister, ensure floats are properly placed, adjust sweep hose. Remove unnecessary pool equipment or install a ladder guard kit.

How to replace the rear latches of the Polaris Quattro Sport?
Frequently Asked Questions - 05/10/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The PDF of this manual does not detail the procedure for replacing the rear latches. Here’s what you need to know for this common repair:

Replacement part

Reference: R0836500 - Rear canister latch (sold in packs of 2)

Access and replacement

  • Start by releasing the main latch of the housing (part R0836700) at the front of the cleaner to open the main body.
  • Once opened, you will see the rear latches at the back of the cleaner - they hold the blue canister cover.
  • Release these rear latches to lift the blue canister cover, giving you full access to the filter cartridges.
  • To replace the latches, simply unclip the old ones from their slots and snap the new ones into place.

Important point

The Polaris logo on the latches is not a handle - always lift the cleaner by its actual handle to avoid breaking the latches.

USER MANUAL Quattro Sport POLARIS

Works with Polaris Booster Pump

To avoid risk of potentially serious injury:

  • Do not handle the Polaris cleaner while it is operating, except when checking the wheel RPM.
    • Always remove the Polaris cleaner before swimmers enter the pool.

CAUTION

USE OF A POLARIS QUATTRO IN A VINYL LINER POOL

Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC and its affiliates and subsidiaries are not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

Before You Start: Important Information

  • Before installing the Polaris cleaner, make sure the pool filter is clean.
  • New plumbing lines should be flushed out before installing the cleaner.
  • The cleaner should not be used to remove plaster dust in new pools.
  • Except when checking the wheel RPM, do not handle the cleaner while it is operating.
    • Always remove the cleaner before swimmers enter the pool.
  • Disconnect the cleaner from the pool wall when cleaning or backwashing the pool filter.
    • Always remove the cleaner from the pool before chemical shock treatments.
  • After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes before re-connecting the cleaner.

Fine Tuning

When operating correctly, the Polaris ® cleaner vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability depends on the pool's shape and water pressure or flow. The cleaner climbs best in pools without sharp angles or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall. Fine tune your cleaner for optimal operation, as necessary.
