Premium Suction Side Automatic Pool Cleaner

Product Description

The fastest, most powerful suction-side automatic pool cleaner on the market, Polaris' All Terrain Vac provides built-in durability and superior climbing performance on a variety in-ground pool finishes. The Polaris ATV combines style and performance with translucent, UV-resistant housing, snap-on hubcaps, and spoke wheels with patented, reversible tires. A built-in reverse drive mechanism frees the ATV from pool obstacles and makes it the only cleaner that vacuums in reverse. Easily connecting to the skimmer or dedicated suction line, the Polaris ATV deposits small to medium debris directly into the pool filter. A flow regulator optimizes and automatically adjusts the water flow to the cleaner so it is always vacuuming, while the exclusive auxiliary inlet keeps water flowing to the pump, even if the throat gets clogged.

I purchased this Pool Cleaner a few weeks ago and here is my result. It is very effective as far is cleaning ability goes, if it can get there, it can clean it. My pool was really dirty because the previous owner of this house didn't take care of the pool and the pool was green and brown. After the chemical cleaning, I needed the Polaris ATV to do it's job and it did it quite nicely. As I said, as long as it can get to it, it can clean it.

It is also very, very easy to install...Pretty much just plug everything together and drop it in your pool.

The Cons:

For my pool and my experience, The Polaris can not clean the side walls well or doesn't go to the side enough to clean it. My side walls are still dirty. It has a hard time climbing my stairs. Many times, it'll just get stuck there. The wheels aren't large enough and once it gets into a bad angle, it gets stuck because none of it's wheels are touching the ground.

I'm not sure if I can recommend this pool cleaner. At this time, I say it's average at best.

We love this product. It really cleans great. In eight hours it will clean a 16x32 inground pool.

Pros: cleans fast, cleans well, easy to hook up, cleans walls and steps
Cons: We have a separate suction port and the skimmer must be plugged up when using the atv for it to work well. We were hoping to leave the skimmer open and let the atv use the suction port.

1.0 out of 5 stars Exposed Gearing, June 5, 2011

I purchased this cleaner and I am very disappointed. The unit has gears and rubber belts that make it work, the thing is that these gears and belts are fully exposed to all the debris collected by the cleaner. So almost ever day you have to open the unit up with a philip screw driver and pull the debris out of the gears because it gets all clogged up and stops working.
