No My polaris hose keeps getting tangled up, how do I fix it.

Remeasure the pool cleaners hose to verify that it is adjusted to the proper length for the pool shape. With the Polaris operating, check that the swivels in the hose and the hose connections turn freely. Make sure feed hose is floating.With the Polaris turned off, spin each of the wheels. All wheels should turn together.

Work swivels or replace

I had this problem, especially in winter. The winter problem was fixed with the application of a new swivel at the right point - watch the line when it gets looped and see where the extra rotation would help - and adjusting the floats to help support the swivel.

The summer tangle was fixed by assuring maximum pressure and nozzle direction. The plastic pressure jet assembly had a crack at the base where the directional jet adjusts, reducing power to the unit. In all cases, I have found a 10 to 2 o'clock position on the directional jet to provide maximum downforce to pull the pressure line along and keep the vacuum close to the plaster surface. The tighter the unit is to the plaster, the better it pulls the line.

Check the internal hoses for leaks, tightness, make sure your wheel rotation speed is correct and adjust the pressure valve accordingly. Make sure the wheels have some play and do not bind with the gears. I found no benefit to driving the rear wheel, so I disengaged the idler. Always run with pool filter for a boost in power and filtration. Keep the sweeper movement to a "lazy" minimum to maximize pressure to the directional and pressure jets.

In all, when all else fails, add a union in the right location and adjust floats until the twisting is focused on the new union.

Belive it or not... too many swivels add to the problem!
Most people think if I add a swivel here where it begins to coil then tangle, it will fix the problem, but yet the problem remains!!!

The manufacturer recommends this for the proper layout of the hoses; from the wall all the way to the head:

• First, determine the deepest part of the pool/pool "Depth"
• That is how "Long" the 1st hose is to be. The softer clear hose
• Now... Attach all the hoses together, 1st hose already cut per the above and the other two "White" hoses - UNCUT.
  • Place the head at the point on the deck where the wall adaptor is for the hose to attach
• Walk around the pool holding the wall adaptor
  • Move your hand forward towards the edge of the pool to mark the total length of the pool, if you come to a point where your hand is over the water, hose is too short, move your hand back, if your hand is too far back away from the waters edge, the hose too long
• Once you get back to the starting point, you should now know how long the hose needs to be. You could probably have 1' - 4', maybe more maybe less? Take note of the excess hose, that will need to be cut off, too long of hose will only tangle up. BUT WAIT, THERES MORE....
  • You may think that I now just cut off the excess length? You would be wrong!!!
  • Lets say you have 4' of excess hose...
  • Follow the hose in your hand to the next swivel, disconnect it.
  • NOW Cut. But... cut off 2' from one of the white hoses, AND 2' from the other white hose.
  • Reconnect the swivel. You have now cut off 4' of excess hose.

Recap: What you have done is with the 3 pieces of hose is cut it & adjusted it to the correct lengths. The soft hose is as long as the pool is deep. The two White Harder pieces are Exactly Even!! The way it should be!

Now, the Back up valve will be placed on the soft hose about 3-4' away.

Follow this and the hose should not tangle. And...
The advice about storing the hose coiled is not good, ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
Whenever storing, always store in a straight line, otherwise it will retain the memory of the coil.

Good Luck
