Zodiac Polaris Canister

The standard filter is designed for general debris like leaves and twigs. This ultra-fine canister features a tighter mesh specifically engineered to trap microscopic particles like sand, silt, and fine dust that typically pass right through standard filters.

This canister is designed for compatibility with most Polaris automatic pool cleaners that utilize a canister-style filtration system. We recommend checking your specific cleaner's manual or the product compatibility list to confirm it is compatible with your exact model number.

Because it captures much finer debris, this canister will fill up faster than a standard filter. You should check and empty it after every cleaning cycle, especially if your pool is prone to heavy sand or silt accumulation.

Not at all. It is designed for quick, tool-free removal from the cleaner. Once removed, you can simply open the canister and rinse the debris out with a standard garden hose.

Yes, you can use it as your primary filter, but keep in mind that it is optimized for fine debris. If your pool experiences a heavy influx of large leaves or debris, you may find yourself needing to empty it very frequently, so some owners prefer to swap back to a standard filter during heavy leaf seasons.
