Polaris 7240 Sport Robotic Pool Cleaner


The Polaris 7240 Sport is a new Robotic Pool Cleaner by Zodiac designed for a small to medium pool. This is an entry level Robotic Pool Cleaner and part of Zodiac's Trade Series line which means it is not sold online and it is only available at your local brick and mortar pool store or from your pool service professional. The Polaris 7240 Sport has a lot of the same features found in their larger robotic cleaners but for an entry level price.



Here are some of the features of the Polaris 7240 Sport:

Cyclonic Vacuum Technology- Captures debris without losing suction
Navigates Floors and Climbs Walls- For full pool coverage and a thorough clean
Lightweight Handling - Compact design is easy to carry
Easy Clean Filter Canister with Transparent Lid - Simply remove, unlatch, shake and spray


And here are some of the cleaners Specs:

Vacuum Technology: Cyclonic
Easy Clean Filter Canister: Yes
Surface Cleaning Ability: Floors and walls
Drive: Tracks drive
Brush: Pleated
Cable Length: 50' cable
Maximum Pool Size: Up to 36'



The cleaner itself is very compact and only weighs 13 lbs. So it is ideal for those homeowners who are looking for something more convenient to use in their pools each week. Because of the small size I would only recommend it for small to medium size pools. If you have a larger pool you may want to look at their 8050 Sport model which I have reviewed and tested in this video:

The 7240 Sport has many of the same features of the 8050 Sport only on a smaller level. And when I say smaller I really mean it with this cleaner. It is the smallest robotic cleaner that I have tested and used thus far. But this doesn't mean it does not do the same job as it's larger counterpart. It does have a smaller cleaning path but with the same cyclonic vacuum technology of the other Polaris Robotic cleaners it really sucks up the dirt and debris. The track system allows it to easily climb the pool walls to the waterline. The track system also allows it to get up an over any obstacles in your pool, including Anti-Vortex main drains and the step areas.

For such a small cleaner it does come with 50 ft of cable so it will work in most pools effectively. When I make reference to a larger pool, I am referring to a pool 20 by 40 ft or larger. So if you have a 32 ft by 16 ft or a 30 ft by 14 ft pool, the Polaris 7420 is suitable for your pool. I would just suggest a cleaner with a larger cleaning path and a larger debris canister for those larger pools. Here in my area most pools fall into the small to medium size category and I think Zodiac was very smart designing this cleaner for those pools.

The top load debris canister is surprisingly large and is very easy to open and clean out. Simply press on the latch in front and the canister and easily remove it. The clear plastic top is also a nice touch as you can easily see if the debris canister needs to be emptied.
The Controller is also very simple to use and it just has one button to start and stop the cleaner. There is a programmed run time of 2 hours and the cleaner will leave your pool spotless each week. There is no caddy cart included but you can purchase one separately from Zodiac if you wish.

If you are looking for a compact and easy to use Robotic Pool Cleaner I would look at the Polaris 7240 Sport as it cleans effectively, rapidly and efficiently. It is suitable for all pool surface types and does a great job of also climbing and cleaning the pool walls.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
