Polaris Sweep Hose Adjustment

Thank you for checking out our video.
In this quick video, we’ll show you how to make adjustments to the sweep hose adjustment on your Polaris 280 pool cleaner.
Like most of our mechanical devices, your pool cleaner will require periodic adjustments, routine maintenance and replacement of certain parts. For anyone that has one of these cleaners you probably already know what a workhorse it is.
We run ours twice a day and it does an excellent job of keeping much of the debris picked up. Depending on the size of your pool and surrounding conditions, you should adjust your pool cleaner accordingly.
One thing that I strongly recommend is to keep a small bin or container of minor spare parts on hand. The cost won’t be too excessive and when a minor part breaks or needs replacing on your pool cleaner, you’ll be ready to replace it, and will be able to keep your pool crystal clean and ready to use.
Some replacement parts are expensive so it might be challenging to keep them on hand but most of the components can be purchased online and you’ll be able to get them pretty fast. You can check out our Amazon links below or go to our Amazon store for a more detailed list of parts for pool cleaners.
To adjust the sweep hose movement, look for the screw or set screw on the side of the feed pipe on the back of the Polaris where the sweep hose connects. To decrease the motion of the tail, simply turn the screw clockwise. To increase the motion, turn the screw counterclockwise. You may need to make several adjustments to obtain the optimal desired movement.

Glad we could help.

Tried adjusting the screw. Still doesn’t sweep.

Make sure the wall filter or inline filter is clean. You may have restrictor plates in. Also, make sure main filter is clean.

And use the proper hex head wrench

Yes, and they do have several sizes that we’ve seen.
