Keep your Polaris 360 swimming pool cleaner in top working order by fixing parts that break as they happen before they cause stress on other parts leading to other problems. I have had my Polaris 360 in my swimming pool now for over four years and it is still going strong because I always keep it in good repair.
You have to keep a check on the belts and wheel bearings because they take a beating sitting in the chlorinated swimming pool water for extended periods. As far as parts for the Polaris 360 I have had to replace the drive belts once so far, and that isn't really too bad since the Polaris 360 gets quite a work out carrying a full bag load of debris around the bottom of the pool for hours before I get a chance to empty it. When the belt starts to go bed you can tell because the unit will want to always go in circles and be unable to go forward for very long. The belt slips on the spline due to it being stretched and unable to grip like it is supposed to.
Another problem to be aware of as your Polaris 360 gets a year or two old is the wheel bearings will begin to wear out. They are miniature race type bearings with plastic as the races to prevent rust. Eventually the races wear out and allow the balls to fall out and the wheel will not spin much at all. It is a good idea to check the Polaris for bad bearings occasionally since leaving a bad bearing for long will ruin the drive belt.
