How to extend the life of the BlueStars replacement parts and maintain your Polaris pool cleaner?

Thoroughly Rinse After Use
Always rinse the Polaris and BlueStars scrubber hoses with clean water after taking out of the pool to wash away chemical/debris buildup.
Keep Parts Out of Direct Sunlight
Avoid leaving the Polaris pool cleaner sitting in hot sun when not in use, which can degrade parts over time.
Replace Scrubbers at First Sign of Wear

Store Properly During Off Season
When not using the pool cleaner for extended periods, store indoors and away from temperature extremes or UV light exposure.
Consider Off-Season Deep Cleaning
Do occasional deep cleaning on the Polaris internals and BlueStars parts using degreasers and descalers.
With proper care and maintenance, your BlueStars upgraded Polaris pool cleaner will provide many years of peak cleaning performance.
