Product Overview

The Polaris ATLAS suction-side pool cleaner combines automatic vacuuming with active scrubbing to help maintain a cleaner in-ground pool. Powered by your existing pool pump and filtration system, ATLAS collects sand, silt, and longer debris while traveling across the floor and climbing walls toward the waterline. HALO technology, spinning brushes, and durable tracks work together to loosen dirt and improve debris pickup. Its included 39-foot friction-fit hose connects to a compatible skimmer or dedicated suction line.

Ideal For

In-ground pool owners seeking automatic floor, wall, and waterline cleaning.

Pools collecting fine sand, silt, and stringy debris.

Compatible low-flow and variable-speed pump systems.

Key Features

HALO technology helps handle fine and larger debris while reducing clogging.

Active scrubbing brushes loosen dirt that suction alone may leave behind.

Multi-directional navigation helps the cleaner travel throughout the pool.

Tri-Point tracks provide traction across pool surfaces.

A 15-inch cleaning footprint combines scrubbing and suction coverage.

Benefits

Reduces the manual vacuuming needed for routine pool maintenance.

Uses the existing filtration system without a separate cleaner power supply or booster pump.

Cleans beyond the floor by climbing walls under suitable operating conditions.

Replaceable scrubbing brushes support ongoing maintenance as components wear.

Warranty & Compatibility

Compatibility

ATLAS is designed for in-ground pools and connects through a skimmer or compatible 1.5-inch vacuum line. Polaris lists it for all in-ground pool surface types, but the surface must be in suitable condition before use.

Low-flow compatibility does not mean the cleaner will operate correctly at every pump speed. Performance depends on available suction, hose configuration, filter condition, and pool geometry. Confirm that the supplied hose can reach the required cleaning area from your connection point.

Installation and Setup

Follow the owner’s manual to assemble the hose, connect the appropriate fittings, and adjust cleaner flow. Homeowners familiar with their pool’s suction system can perform routine setup; a pool professional can help resolve connection or flow issues.

Keep pump and skimmer baskets clean, maintain the filter, and inspect tracks and brushes periodically. Turn off the pump before servicing the cleaner.

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: Does ATLAS require a booster pump?
A: No. It operates using suction from the pool’s existing filtration pump.

Q: Does it collect debris in a separate bag?
A: No. Debris travels through the suction hose toward the pool’s filtration system.

Q: Will it clean the walls?
A: Yes. ATLAS is designed for wall and waterline cleaning, although climbing performance depends on flow, surface condition, and pool shape.

Q: Does this model include twist-lock hoses?
A: No. Standard ATLAS includes friction-fit hoses. ATLAS XT is the version specified with twist-lock hoses.
