4. Check for Proper Wheel RPM
Before operating the Polaris, check for proper wheel revolutions per minute (RPM). For
maximum efficiency, the Polaris should operate between 28 and 32 RPM.
Mark the single-wheel side tire.
1.
Turn pump on, hold cleaner below water
2.
level and count wheel revolutions for one
minute.
If count is
less than 28 RPM:
Check the filter screen in the in-line filter for
•
debris that restricts water flow.
Clean the skimmer, filter and pump basket,
•
clearing debris that restricts water flow.
Check the hoses, connections and swivels
•
for leaks that cause loss of water pressure.
Remove the blue restrictor disk from the UWF.
•
If an adjustable valve is installed on the booster pump or cleaner line, open it completely
•
so water can flow freely to the Polaris.
If count is
more than 32 RPM:
Replace the blue restrictor disk in the UWF with the red restrictor. If the flow is still too
•
high, unscrew the pressure relief valve until the proper RPM is reached. Note: The
pressure relief valve should only be adjusted when a restrictor is installed.
If an adjustable valve is installed after the booster pump, adjust it to reduce the water flow
•
to the cleaner.
