polaris restrictor disk purpose

The Polaris restrictor disk, also known as the Polaris jet restrictor, is a small plastic disk that is inserted into the water jet of a Polaris pool cleaner. The purpose of the restrictor disk is to reduce the flow of water through the cleaner, which in turn slows down the movement of the cleaner and allows it to clean more effectively.

Without the restrictor disk, the water flow through the cleaner can be too strong, causing the cleaner to move too quickly and potentially missing areas of the pool. By reducing the water flow, the restrictor disk allows the cleaner to move at a slower, more controlled pace, ensuring that it thoroughly cleans all areas of the pool.

The Polaris restrictor disk comes in different sizes, and the size you need will depend on the specific model of your Polaris pool cleaner and the size of your pool. It is important to use the correct size restrictor disk for your cleaner to ensure optimal performance and cleaning results.
