Adjust Feed Hose To Fit Pool Length
Measure the deepest part of the pool. Cut leader hose, from end that attaches to feed hose, so
length is equal to the greatest depth of the pool.
Attach leader hose to feed hose and connect hose to the pool wall at the return line. Extend
hose to farthest point of pool. The hose end must be within 6" – longer or shorter – of the
farthest point. See dotted circle.
Hose too long? Separate hose at center swivel. Cut equal amounts of the overage from
each 10-foot feed hose section.
Hose too short? Buy an additional feed hose section (part #9-100-3104), one swivel (part
#D20) and two hose nuts (part #D15) from an authorized Polaris dealer.
After adjusting hose, position hose floats as shown.
