Polaris

[aylad]

My 380 lives in the pool year round...I run it a couple of times weekly for 2-3 hours at a time (I have no trees in my yard, just get leaves from neighbor's trees during times of high winds).

No reason I can think of to run it unless you're actually cleaning something.

My Polaris is always picking up sand-like particles so I suppose I'm in for a replaster job one of these days...Yee ha!

I use mine up to 3 hrs a day. That is what is suggested in the manual as well.

When I had a polaris it would run for 3-4 hours everynight. Only took it out of the pool when guests were over. I would swim with it in the pool and would even run it while I was swimming. That way I could stear it to get any piles of stuff on the bottom.
