Polaris Thrust Jet Adjustment
HTML-код

- Thank you for checking out our video.
In this quick video, we’ll show you how to make adjustments to the thrust jet on your Polaris 280 pool cleaner.
Like most of our mechanical devices, your pool cleaner will require periodic adjustments, routine maintenance, and the replacement of certain parts. Anyone that has one of these cleaners probably already knows 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.

Great presentation with clear explanations as to why and how to change. Good optics.
Appreciate you watching and commenting. 😊
Thank You! Appreciate you showing this!
Happy to help. ⭐️
thank you,my polaris 380 would always go left and get stuck at the ladder,it was at the 11 o clock position, put it at the 2 o clock and working great now
That’s great. We’re about to rebuild one. Putting on an entire kit. Everything that can be replaced, will be. Still less expensive than a new one.

I need to check that adjustment on my cleaner . . . thanks.
It really makes a difference. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I need to try this! We have ours getting stuck in corners of the shallow end and not climbing the wall as it should be. Thanks!
Be sure to check out some of our other Polaris videos as it could be several things. Good luck.
I remove the two screws and the jet, then put silicone grease on the o-ring and the nozzle ball to allow easier adjustment.
Good tip.

Great info; very helpful

If your Polaris is floating and not staying to the bottom…..check the RPMs of the wheels as per the manual. Had my pool opened (year two) and the polaris which is also two years old, was floating and sporadically sticking to the bottom as it should. I tested the RPMs and they were way high. I should have known this since the unit was moving rather quickly when it was sticking to the bottom. Turns out the restrictor on the UWF was NOT THERE. Either the pool company removed it when they closed the pool or forgot to install when they opened. I had the red restrictor and installed that. The rpm’s were right at the minimum 28. The Polaris now works perfectly. This could be one of three things if your unit isn’t staying on the bottom. Read the manual and do the trouble shooting. It’s not hard and you should be able to fix on your own.
We agree and have seen this issue. Great information! Thanks for sharing.
Do you have a video on this? I’m having this issue and am not sure where my manual is so a tutorial would be very helpful
Very helpful. Thank you.
Appreciate the feedback.

it would help me if you would make a video showing what the cleaner does when set certain ways. I have the 280 and at the store I was told to leave it straight. I was told that if the front comes up too much to angle the spout downward...I have a 40 foot L-shaped pool , nine feet deep. thanks
Noted, we’ll work on that.

I wish I had found this video a month ago. I took my sweeper into Leslie's because it was going around in circles. I brought it home after $95 in parts and the problem still persisted. Once I watched this video, I checked my Thrust Jet adjustment and found it was point up sharply to 1 o'clock. I readjusted to a more central setting and the problem was solved. The total cost SHOULD have been $0.
Thanks.
We agree!

Hey Donn reallly appreciate the video. The high pressure line for mine keeps falling off after about 15min of usage. Any tips on how to clamp it tighter?
If it attaches like the one in this video, you might try trimming is short piece of the hose off provided you have enough. Then reattach with a new nut. If that doesn’t work, you might check if you have a restrictor disc at the wall connector. If not, you might consider adding one.
Thanks so much

Is the orientation based on the plastic plate with the screws, or the overall orientation of the cleaner itself?
I think you are talking about the plastic plate with screws and it’s really the nozzle you are adjusting.

can you give some tips on cleaner hose tangling and how to prevent that from happening
You might check our other videos. Swivel joints, floats, etc.

Does water typically leak from around that area or no? I noticed today that it sprays water ok but a steady leak underneath the jet.
You may need a thrust jet kit. I think they have a small o-ring or gasket inside the back of the nozzle. Pull the two screws out and check this. Hope this helps.
The up and down makes sense, but how would I know if my vac should be going more left or right?
Does it only go in a straight line? If so, you can adjust accordingly to make turns.

@@diycollaborative Ah, ok. so as long as it's turning in at least one direction, it's good. Thanks.
Up and to right at 2 pm so it goes clockwise to follow pool jet flow in northern hemisphere- in southern hemisphere it would be counter clockwise similar to how toilets flush !!
I’m new to cleaning my pool. The tail on my Polaris sprays all over - how do I adjust this
Thanks for asking. See our video at this link.

What if you have a lot of water coming out of new set up and wheels are not going between 28-32 rpm. With blue jet in pool wall
Try the red restrictor disk.

Would this cause it to lay on its side?
Check the float. Take it off and shake to see if it has water inside. Inexpensive to replace. Usually why the lay over.

I never tighten that up so it can't be moved with your fingers and still stays in place
Most are adjustable in this location.
subscribed with bell at all😊
Thank you very much.
Not in the manual either !!!
Agree. Thanks
The 280 is heavily biased to go left. Even on full adjustment of the thruster to make it go right it still goes left and only cleans half the pool. Took the junk out and now just use the dolphin. Designed by idiots.
Oh no. Could be an internal gear needing adjustment or replacement, but seems like you’re good to go now. ⭐️
Had no idea I was able to do this. Thanks for your time! I'm redoing my polaris and your videos have been great!
The Polaris is a great cleaner. Just needs a little help occasionally. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
My valve keeps going backwards even with the new one. What is the problem
Not following…which valve?
I was always curious about this and the video helped! I’m curious whether you think adjustment of this nozzle will help with the P280 staying in the deep end. Thanks!
Could be this adjustment, the float, the reverse valve and swivel joints.

Good video I need to adjust mines. It keeps going into the left corner all the time and staying there. So I will adjust mines @2 oclock. Thanks for the video
