Important Information
The Polaris Vac-Sweep ® 380 automatic pool cleaner comes ready to connect to a threaded 1-1/2" female pipe fitting on a dedicated return line. Other connections are possible, but they require additional fittings
(see Section B on page 4).
The Polaris 380 is intended for use with a Polaris Booster Pump. You should have a licensed electrician install the cleaner’s booster pump. The booster pump must be installed according to the electrical
codes applicable in your area. Improper installation can result in serious or even fatal injury.
The following are important points to remember when installing and operating the Polaris 380.
• Always turn the filtration pump on before turning on the booster pump.
• Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall when cleaning or backwashing the pool filter.
• After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes before reconnecting the Polaris.
• New plumbing lines should be flushed out before installing the Polaris.
• The Polaris should not be used to remove plaster dust in new pools.
• Always remove the Polaris before swimmers enter the pool.
• Always handle the Polaris with care. Do not let children or pets play with the Polaris; it is not a toy.
• Except when checking the wheel RPM, do not handle the Polaris while it is operating (see page 7).
• Never pick up the Polaris by the head float.
• Always remove the Polaris from the pool before chemical shock treatments. As a general rule, any pool water that is unsafe for swimming is unsafe for the Polaris.
• Carefully cut the hoses following the instructions on page 5.
By following these simple guidelines, you can help protect against injury and prolong the life of your new
Polaris 380.
Before the Polaris is installed, please take a moment to record the serial number. For the location of the serial number, refer to the Exploded Parts Diagram on page 14. You will be asked for this number when contacting our Customer Service Department.

B. Possible Pool Connections
1. Dedicated Return Line
A 1-1/2" dedicated return line is recommended.
It should be approximately 6" below the water level and have 1-1/2" female threads. If it has 1/4" female threads, you will need to purchase the
3/4" x 1-1/2" coupling (part #G-9).
2. Over-the-deck Installation
If the pool does not have a dedicated return line, the Polaris can be installed by obtaining an help the Polaris operate at its optimum level of efficiency. Screw the universal wall fitting and the blue restrictor into the return line by hand.
3. Turn the quick disconnect into the universal wall fitting clockwise and pull away to secure.
4. Turn the quick disconnect by hand to tighten the universal wall fitting; do not overtighten.
Once the universal wall fitting is secure, the quick disconnect can be removed without removing the universal wall fitting.
Properly Sized Feed Hose
For proper cleaner performance, the hose must be sized to fit your pool. To size correctly, follow the steps in
Section D. Once sized, the feed hose should look like the one below.

10. Reinstall the swivel with the flow arrows on the swivel pointing toward the Polaris. (Refer to the
“Proper Nut Placement” diagram.)
11. On the clear hose, make sure one float is against the back-up valve on the side opposite the cleaner and another float is upstream within 2-3 feet. On the white hoses, space the floats no less than 1-1/2 feet and no more than
3 feet apart, so that the white hoses do not sag.
It may be necessary to remove floats to maintain proper spacing.
12. When the feed hose has been cut properly, it should look like the one in the “Properly
Sized Feed Hose” diagram on page 4.
E. Assembling the Polaris
1. Put the nut on the feed pipe. Attach the clear hose to the feed pipe and tighten the nut.
If there is a curve at the end of the hose, align it with the curve of the feed pipe.

3. Turn on the pool filtration pump. Wait at least
30 seconds and turn on the booster pump.
F. Checking Operation
When operating correctly, the Polaris 380 will travel randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming, sweeping and scrubbing the bottom, sides, and most of the steps and swimouts. The Polaris will clean an average pool in 3 hours or less.
The Polaris comes equipped with an automatic pressure relief valve in the quick disconnect.
If the Polaris is receiving too much water pressure, it will release water at the quick disconnect.
The wheel RPM of the Polaris should be between
28 and 32.
Approximately every 2 minutes the Polaris 380 will go into back-up mode. At this time the backup valve will pull the Polaris away from potential obstacles and increase its random pattern.
The sweep hose operates in a gentle sweeping motion to prevent debris from becoming trapped in hard-to-reach corners of the pool.
If the Polaris does not operate as described above, turn off the pumps and make the necessary adjustments below.
G. Fine Tuning
1. Thrust Jet Adjustment
The position of the thrust jet determines the direction of the Polaris. Its standard position is eleven o’clock. See the “Assembling the Polaris” diagram for the location of the thrust jet.

2. Sweep Hose Adjustment
The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping motion. To decrease its motion, turn the sweep hose adjustment screw clockwise.
See the “Assembling the Polaris” diagram on page
6. Make sure the sweep hose scrubber does not block the water flowing from the sweep hose.
3. Universal Wall Fitting Pressure
Restrictors
The universal wall fitting comes with a blue restrictor installed and an optional red restrictor for use if needed. These special restrictors are designed to work in combination with the pressure relief valve. Together they will release excess water pressure so the Polaris can operate at its optimum level of efficiency.
The red restrictor provides maximum water restriction, while the blue restrictor provides less restriction.
To determine whether a restrictor is needed, follow the instructions below.
4. Checking Wheel RPM
To determine whether the Polaris is receiving proper water pressure, turn off and carefully remove the Polaris from the pool. Mark the outer edge of a tire. Place the Polaris back in the pool and turn on the pumps.
Hold the Polaris by the blue top, suspended on its side just below the water level.
Blue Top

Sweep Hose
➔
Hold the sweep hose to avoid being squirted.
Count the revolutions of the marked wheel for exactly one minute, beginning after the Polaris has completed a back-up cycle. This gives you the cleaner’s wheel Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).
For proper operation, the wheel RPM should be between 28 and 32.
If the Polaris is operating above 32 RPM:
• Remove the universal wall fitting by attaching the quick disconnect. Pull it away from the pool wall as you unscrew the universal wall fitting.
• Push the blue restrictor out of the universal wall fitting and snap in the red restrictor.
• Reinstall the universal wall fitting.
• Recheck the wheel RPM.
If the Polaris is still operating above 32 RPM, unscrew the pressure relief valve (#44 on page 16) until the proper RPM are reached.
If the Polaris is operating below 28 RPM:
• Remove the universal wall fitting by attaching the quick disconnect. Pull it away from the pool wall as you unscrew the universal wall fitting.
• Push the blue restrictor out of the universal wall fitting.
• Reinstall the universal wall fitting.
• Recheck the wheel RPM.
If you still have less than 28 RPM:
• Clean the filter screen in the quick disconnect. A dirty filter screen will restrict the water flow from the pump to the Polaris.
• Check the hoses, connections, and swivels for leaks that could cause loss of water pressure.
• If there is a gate valve installed on the booster pump or the Polaris cleaner line, open it completely so water can flow freely to the Polaris.
• Clean the skimmer and pump baskets.
Please Note: If the above suggestions do not work, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-VAC-SWEEP (USA and Canada only).

III. Operation and Maintenance
A. What to Expect From Your
Polaris 380
D. Connecting/Disconnecting the Polaris
When operating correctly, the Polaris 380 will travel randomly throughout the pool, vacuuming, sweeping and scrubbing the bottom, sides, and most of the steps and swimouts. The Polaris will clean an average pool in 3 hours or less.
To connect, turn off both pumps. Turn the quick disconnect clockwise into the universal wall fitting and pull away from the pool wall to secure. To disconnect, turn off both pumps. Push the quick disconnect in and turn counterclockwise.
The Polaris comes equipped with an automatic pressure relief valve in the quick disconnect.
If the Polaris is receiving too much water pressure, it will release water at the quick disconnect.
Universal Wall

Quick Disconnect
➔
To make connecting and disconnecting the quick disconnect even easier, periodically lubricate the quick disconnect o-ring with o-ring lubricant.
B. Turning On/Off the Polaris
Never run the booster pump without the pool
filtration pump running. Turn on the filtration pump. Wait at least 30 seconds and turn on the booster pump. If the Polaris has been installed with time clocks, set them so the Polaris is turned on at least one half hour after the filtration pump has been turned on and shuts off one half hour before the filtration pump shuts off. Failure to follow these instructions could cause pump damage not covered in the Polaris warranty.
E. Cleaning the Filter Bag
1. Remove the bag collar from the feed hose.
Depress the prongs and remove the bag from the cleaner. There is no need to remove the bag collar from the bag.

C. Operating Time
To find the optimum running time for your pool, start by running the Polaris for 3 hours.
Decrease the time until you notice that your pool is not getting clean.
➔
If you have a lot of debris in your pool
(i.e. after a storm), you can run the Polaris in two shorter cycles per day and empty the filter bag between cycles.

3. Position the velcro closure on the bag closest to the feed hose, align the prongs and snap the bag to the cleaner. With the bag on the single-wheel side of the feed hose, snap the bag collar onto the feed hose.
➔
Some Polaris owners have told us it is easier to empty the filter bag when it is dry. They alternate between two filter bags. When one becomes full, they remove it and put on the clean bag. They let the full bag dry completely before emptying it.
F. Periodic Maintenance
The following parts are wear items that should be periodically checked and replaced as needed.
Please Note: Wear items are not covered under warranty.
1. Filter Screen (#42)
Inside the quick disconnect there is a filter screen. It acts as a safety filter to keep any debris that is not caught by the pool filtration system out of the Polaris. If the filter screen clogs often, consult your pool professional.
Please Note: Running the Polaris without the filter screen can damage the Polaris.
To clean the filter screen, pull it out of the quick disconnect, rinse it and press it firmly back into place.
See the diagram at the top of the next column.
Slot
Filter Screen
2. Wear Rings (#36)
The sweep hose is fitted with rolling wear rings that protect the sweep hose. Replace them before the weights on either side of the wear rings begin to wear.
➔
To maximize the life of the wear rings, we recommend that you rotate them as they wear.
3. Tires (#6)
The tires provide traction and protect both the
Polaris and the bottom of your pool. Replace the tires when the edges become rounded.
4. Sweep Hose Scrubber (#30)
The sweep hose scrubber helps keep the bottom and sides of your pool clean. It also helps prevent the sweep hose from spraying water out of the pool. Replace the scrubber when it becomes worn. The scrubber may need to be replaced often depending on the surface of your pool.
➔
To maximize the life of the sweep hose scrubber, we recommend that you turn it as it wears.
G. Backwashing the Pool Filter
Always disconnect the Polaris from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool filter. After cleaning or backwashing, let the pool filtration system run for at least five minutes to flush out the return lines before reconnecting the Polaris.
9
H. Storage
Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight or with the feed hose coiled.
➔
If coils do form, lay the hose in the sun or soak it in hot water to help straighten it before reinstalling.
I. Winterizing
Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
Remove the Polaris from the pool and drain all the water before storing for the winter. Also, drain all the water out of the booster pump by removing the drain plug (see index number 14 on page 13).
Use the quick disconnect to remove the universal wall fitting. Attach the quick disconnect, pull it away from the pool wall and unscrew. In some cases, it may be necessary to use the universal wall fitting removal tool (part #10-102-00) available from your participating Polaris dealer.
Please Note: If quick freeze conditions exist, be sure the filtration pump is running and forcing water through the booster pump. If there is a gate valve installed, open it completely so water will flow through the booster pump.
J. Accessories
1. Sweep Hose Weight (Part #B2)
If the sweep hose or the thrust jet tend to break the surface of the water – squirting nearby windows, pool decking, or innocent bystanders – a sweep hose weight can be installed.
2. Ladder Guard Kit (Part #G21)
The ladder guard kit will help prevent the Polaris from getting hung up around the pool ladder or handrails.
3. Filter Bags
The Polaris comes with an all-purpose bag for general use in all pools. You may want to purchase one of our special bags listed below and rotate between them as needed.
Sand/Silt Bag (Part #9-100-1015)
The sand/silt bag is made of a mesh material designed to trap very fine silt and dust. The bag provides a secondary filtering system, removing debris as small as 9/1000 of an inch.
Leaf Bag (Part #9-100-1012)
The leaf bag is a large bag made of a more durable material. It is specifically designed to collect larger, heavier types of debris such as large quantities of leaves and acorns.
Disposable All-Purpose Bag (Part #9-100-1013)
The disposable all-purpose bag is a convenient and efficient alternative to the all-purpose bag.
Just let the bag fill, then simply throw it away.
Sold in packages of three.
Disposable Sand/Silt Bags (Part #G45)
These bags are designed to be used in conjunction with any of the other bags. They are made of an ultra fine material that will help catch even the finest silt. They also make cleaning your bag even easier. Sold in packages of four.
4. WaterStars (Part #7-400-00) and
WaterStars WF (Part #11-100-00)
Both of the Polaris WaterStars fountains come equipped to connect to a universal wall fitting.
Once the Polaris 380 is installed with the universal wall fitting, you can quickly and easily switch from pool cleaner to Polaris fountain and back again.
5. SpaWand (Part #5-100-00)
This simple, effective hand cleaning device allows you to rapidly clean your spa and pool steps without hoses or hook-ups. It’s also great for fish ponds and other bodies of water.

Limited Warranty
380 Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaner
This limited warranty is extended to the original consumer purchaser of this Polaris Vac-Sweep 380
Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaner manufactured by Polaris Pool Systems, Inc., 2620 Commerce Way,
Vista, California 92083-8438, U.S.A.
Polaris warrants the cleaning unit it manufactures, including all parts and components thereof, to be free of defects in material and workmanship. The booster pump is excluded in this warranty and carries its own separate warranty. We do not cover bags, tires, sweep hoses or sweep hose scrubbers which have been worn out by use. These are normal replacement items. We do not cover improper installation of the
Polaris Vac-Sweep 380. The instruction manual should be read in its entirety before the installation of the
Polaris Vac-Sweep 380. All installation instructions should be carefully followed. Failure to follow the installation instructions may void this warranty. If you have any questions regarding your Polaris Vac-
Sweep 380, please feel free to call or write us. Be sure to include the serial number, which can be located on the rear of the frame near the single-wheel side of your unit.
EXAMPLE: K 1 2 3 4 5 6
The Polaris 380 frame is warranted for a period of ten years. The rest of the Polaris 380 parts are warranted for a period of one year from date of manufacture of the unit as established by the serial number, or one year from date of purchase with proof of purchase, whichever is later.
This limited warranty does not apply if the failure is caused or contributed to by any of the following: improper handling, improper usage, improper storage, winter freezing, abuse, improper installation, removal of the UWF filter screen, unsuitable application of the unit, improper maintenance, lack of reasonable and necessary maintenance, damage in transit or during installation, or damage from repairs/alterations made or attempted by anyone other than Polaris or one of its Authorized Service
Centers. Polaris will repair or replace, at its option, a unit or part proved to be defective within the warranty period and under the conditions of the warranty.
In order to make a claim under this warranty, the consumer must deliver or ship the unit or warranty parts freight prepaid to the nearest Polaris Authorized Service Center or return it freight prepaid (after proper authorization) to the plant of manufacture. Authorization to return a unit or part to the plant of manufacture must be obtained from the Polaris Customer Service Department. Check with your dealer for the local procedure before exercising this warranty. If further directions or instructions should be required, contact the Customer Service Department at 1-800-VAC-SWEEP (USA and Canada only) or
(760) 599-9600. Be sure you insure your shipments against loss or damage in transit.
Polaris is not responsible for the cost of removal of the unit or parts, damages during or due to removal, any other expenses incurred in shipping the unit or parts to or from the factory or its Authorized
Service Centers, or damages during the installation of the repaired or replacement unit. The consumer must bear these expenses.
This warranty does not cover repair or replacement of a unit or part except at our plant of manufacture or a Polaris Authorized Service Center. This warranty does not cover pattern removal, abrasion or markings on a vinyl liner.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, AND ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY BE IMPOSED BY STATE CONSUMER LAW. ANY SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTY
IMPOSED BY STATE CONSUMER LAW IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE
OF PURCHASE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL POLARIS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF
ANY NATURE OR KIND OR FOR DAMAGES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES
RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE POLARIS VAC-SWEEP 380 AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER WITH A
SUBSTANDARD POOL CIRCULATION SYSTEM.
Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
This limited warranty is valid only in the United States of America, Canada and Australia, and it does not apply to Polaris Vac-Sweep 380 Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaners sold or installed in any other country.
