Proper hose positioning is critical for pressure-side cleaner performance. When the feed hose sinks or drags, the cleaner can nose-dive, stall, or lose consistent coverage across the pool. The Polaris Float Head Kit (R0538000) is designed to keep the feed hose properly buoyant near the cleaner head, maintaining correct angle, balance, and movement during operation.

This OEM float head installs directly on the feed hose and works continuously to counteract hose weight and water drag. By keeping the hose elevated, it helps the cleaner track smoothly, turn freely, and maintain reliable contact with pool surfaces—especially important for wall climbing and corner transitions.

This is a genuine Polaris buoyancy component engineered specifically for pressure-side cleaners, not a generic float substitute.

Why Feed Hose Buoyancy Matters

Pressure-side cleaners rely on a balanced hose system. If the hose sinks too close to the cleaner head, it creates downward force that interferes with steering, climbing, and debris pickup.

A properly functioning float head helps:

• Maintain correct cleaner angle and balance

• Prevent nose-diving or dragging

• Improve wall climbing and corner coverage

• Reduce strain on hose connections and fittings

Replacing a worn or missing float head with the Polaris R0538000 restores proper hose positioning and overall cleaner efficiency.
