2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your Polaris P39 cleaner. This cleaner requires connection to a dedicated return line and a separate booster pump (not included).
- Booster Pump Connection: Install the Polaris P39 Pressure Side Pool Cleaner according to the instructions provided in the user manual. This includes connecting it to a booster pump (not included, sold separately).
- Feed Hose Assembly: The P39 comes with 31 feet of white feed hose. This hose includes a pressure relief valve and a quick-disconnect fitting for easy attachment to your pool's wall fitting.
- Inline Filter: The feed hose also features an inline filter. This filter prevents debris from entering and clogging the P39 cleaner. Regularly check and clean this filter.
- TailSweep PRO Attachment: The TailSweep PRO is included to enhance sweeping action and prevent water from splashing out of the pool. It allows the tail sweep to operate with 50% more flow.
- Positioning: Ensure the cleaner is in the correct position to begin cleaning your pool.

3. Operation
Once properly installed and connected to a booster pump, the Polaris P39 will automatically move around your pool, scrubbing and vacuuming the surfaces. Its all-wheel PosiDrive system with a stainless steel drive chain delivers up to 50% more torque, ensuring faster cleaning, better maneuverability, and fewer hang-ups.
The cleaner features three powerful Venturi jets that push debris up into the dual-chamber SuperBag. A 2.5-inch wide debris opening on the bottom allows it to pick up large debris such as leaves, pebbles, and acorns.
The integrated backup valve engages every three minutes to prevent the cleaner from getting stuck in corners or step areas, ensuring continuous and efficient cleaning coverage.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Polaris P39 pool cleaner.
- Debris Bag: Regularly empty the dual-chamber SuperBag to maintain optimal performance. The zippered design makes cleanup easy.
- Inline Filter: Periodically check and clean the inline filter located on the feed hose to prevent blockages and ensure proper water flow to the cleaner.
- TailSweep PRO Scrubber: The TailSweep PRO includes scrubbers that may wear out over time. Replacement scrubbers are available.
- Internal Components: The P39 features modular parts that are easy to change. Polaris also offers a rebuild kit, allowing you to refresh the cleaner's internal components for extended life.
- General Care: After use, clean the cleaner and store it in a safe place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.

5. Troubleshooting
If your Polaris P39 cleaner is not operating as expected, consider the following common issues:
- Cleaner Not Moving: Check the booster pump operation. Ensure the feed hose is not kinked and the inline filter is clean. Verify that the quick-disconnect is securely attached to the wall fitting.
- Poor Cleaning Performance: Empty the debris bag. Inspect the Venturi jets for any blockages. Ensure the TailSweep PRO scrubber is intact and functioning.
- Cleaner Getting Stuck: The backup valve should prevent this. If it frequently gets stuck, check for obstructions in the pool or ensure the backup valve is engaging correctly every three minutes.
- Water Splashing: Ensure the TailSweep PRO is correctly installed and its scrubber is not excessively worn.
