Polaris R0535800 Ultra-Fine Sand and Silt Filter Canister for Polaris Robotic Cleaners
The Polaris R0535800 Ultra-Fine Sand and Silt Filter Canister for Polaris Robotic
Cleaners are a great way to pick up all of the finer dust and silt in your pool.
This canister does not come with the lid/front but can fit the following
cleaners made by Polaris:
Polaris
ALPHA IQ+

Polaris
VRXIQ+

The manufacturer states that it will filter down to 60 microns but in my testing, it
appears to filter out all of the dirt in my pool so I think it is much finer
filtration but I can’t state exactly. But it is very similar to the filtration
of a robotic cleaner with the paper type cartridge material and seems to solve
the issue of the standard All-Purpose canister not being able to filter down
the finer dirt. The factory canister included with these Polaris Cleaners the
All-Purpose or General-Purpose Canister will filter down to 120-130 microns. This
means the Ultra-Fine Canister has twice the filtration ability of the canister
included with the unit.
Note
that the lid is universal so there really is no need to purchase a second lid.
I just use the lid that came with the cleaner on the Ultra-Fine Canister and it
fits perfectly. Also, keep in mind since the canister material is a much finer
mesh, it can tear easier if any sharp debris were to be picked up by the
cleaner. This is not meant for everyday use but to supplement your cleaning to
remove the finer dirt and silt that may be left behind by the standard canister.
This canister will also clog up faster than the standard canister included with
the cleaner, so you will need to empty it more often.
Originally
this canister was standard on the Polaris 9450 Sport but too many consumers
complained about the cleaner getting clogged up or having to empty the canister
mid-cleaning. Polaris then switched to the current canister that filters down
to 120 microns. In my opinion, I suggest running your Polaris with the standard
canister and then use the Ultra-Fine Canister to do a deep cleaning of your
pool. It is a solid formula and most pools are cleaned up very well by just
using the included canister. In my case, I do get very fine debris in my pool vs
large leaf debris so the Ultra-Fine Canister works great in my pool to pick up
all of the dirt.
The
reviews for the product are excellent and if you notice that there is some fine
dirt and silt left behind the next day after running your Polaris cleaner in
your pool, you may need to invest in the Ultra-Fine Canister. Just make sure
you are purchasing the R0535800 Ultra-Fine Sand and Silt Filter Canister for
Polaris Robotic Cleaners since Polaris also makes a Fine Filter Canister
(R0517800).
As
a side note the ALPHA IQ+ shown in this video is the best Polaris Robotic
Cleaner to date. If you do purchase the cleaner shown in the video, I suggest
the Ultra-Fine Canister as well.
