The Polaris P70 Cable is tangling in the pool
| Cause |

- Verify the floating cable enters the water near the middle of the pool length, see Cord Tangling. Spread all of the floating cable carefully in the pool, ensuring there are no kinks or coils.
|
The Polaris P70 cleaner is not cleaning effectively
| Cause |
Solution |
- The brushes have become smooth or the “wear” indicator shows.

Cleaning the Filter Canister.
|
- Floating cable is excessively coiled or kinked.
|
- Make sure the floating cable is spread out over the pool. Ensure the cable is not too tightly wrapped or coiled when storing. If the problem persists, lay the cable straight in the sun to relax it and remove kinks. Follow the procedure in Cord Tangling to avoid and correct tangled cord.
|
- Tire track is coming off the wheels
|
- Verify track is properly inserted in the wheel groove. If problem persists, replace the tire track, see Replacing the Track.

Submit Your Own IssueMy Polaris p70 just runs right over the leaves in the pool and does not suck them up. I have left it in there for hours ( it runs its coarse and the. I restart it again ) it doesn’t do what it is supposed to do. I have watched it run right over a group of leaves and it just leaves them. I need to know if there is a fix for this? I have had this less than a year
