Polaris

Polaris is a pool cleaner brand owned by Fluidra S.A. (the world's largest pool equipment company), best known for the iconic Polaris 380 and 360 pressure-side pool cleaners — the most widely installed automatic pool cleaners in North America. Founded in 1972, Polaris pioneered pressure-side cleaning technology, which uses a dedicated booster pump to power the cleaner through the pool while sweeping debris into an oversized filter bag.

The Polaris 380 has been the default cleaner recommended by pool builders for over 30 years, particularly in markets with heavy leaf and tree debris. Polaris has expanded into WiFi-enabled robotic cleaners (VRX iQ, P965iQ) that integrate with the iAquaLink app alongside Jandy pool automation, creating a unified pool management ecosystem.

Polaris pressure-side cleaners handle large debris — leaves, twigs, acorns, and berries — that robotic and suction cleaners leave behind. The separate filter bag keeps all debris out of the pool's main filter, extending filter life. The Polaris 380 is one of the most repairable pool products ever made — every component is replaceable and parts are stocked at every pool supply store.

The robotic VRX iQ and P965iQ integrate with the iAquaLink app, so pool owners with Jandy automation can control their cleaner and pool equipment from one app. Fluidra's global manufacturing and distribution ensures parts availability across 47 countries.
