Sometimes my Polaris cleaner cat walks and I was told that this float a20 could be the problem. Is this true?
Reply
Yes this sometimes can be the issue. The best way to be sure is by taking this float off and checking to see if water has filled it or gotten inside. This will make the rear of the cleaner weigh more than designed causing the cleaner to cat walk.

Does this come with the screw on piece that connects this to the unit, and is it a difficult job?
thanks, mike

Hello Mike - All that is included is the float. The installation is simple. The head float threads onto the feed pipe.

Does this part control the forward direction of the vacunm?
Reply
No, the float is there to bring the cleaner upright if it falls from the walls. What controls the forward direction are the belts inside the cleaner.

Is my float head on my Polaris 360 supposed to be full of water or empty. Thank you.

The float head for the Polaris 360 should not be full of water. I would recommend replacing yours if water has entered the float.

Is the head float the one that goes on the back of the Polaris itself as opposed to the ones on the hose that attaches to the pool? Is it different from the others?
