Polaris pool cleaner

[Baroque Brass]

I know this is a classic example of first world problems but does anyone know of a way to keep the supply line to the cleaner from tangling up? Before mine can finish the clean cycle it’s all knotted up and can’t move. I expect this when the water is cold and the hose is stiff but it’s been going on all summer. The swivels in the line seem to be free to move. The pool folks aren’t much help, his few suggestions haven’t worked.

If it's old I'd replace the swivels. Even if they feel free turning by hand they are probably binding.

Also check the thrust jet position to make sure it's not sending the polaris in a constant tight turn causing the hose to tangle.

Pool is four years old.

It moves around the pool as it should until it tangles up.

Since you’re sure it’s pulling properly, I would suggest a new hose with new swivels. I’ve got to do the same thing before leaf season.

Thanks.

What BDD said. I had to replace my swivels and it helped.

Move the position of the thruster, mine works best at 11:00 or 1:00. I've had the same problem and a slight adjustment can take care of it

I moved it to about one o’clock and it seems to have helped. Thanks.

we put a new float and backup valve on my buddies and the twisting stopped
