POLARIS EPIC™ 8640 Robotic Pool Cleaner with Caddy
Product Overview
The Polaris EPIC 8640 is a proven choice for homeowners with complex pool shapes who need a robotic cleaner that handles tight turns and waterline scrubbing.
In our experience, the EPIC 8640 stands out because of its dual-traction motor and rear flow outlet, which allow it to navigate inclines that often stall standard robotic cleaners. This Polaris model utilizes cyclonic vacuum technology to maintain suction even as the large debris canister fills, while the patent-pending Double Helix brushes actively channel dirt toward the inlet. It is a reliable specification for pools up to 50 feet where waterline scrubbing and agile navigation are the primary requirements.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Double Helix Brushes
The staggered rubber blades on both front and rear brushes agitate stuck-on debris and direct it toward the suction inlet for more thorough floor and wall cleaning.
Easy Lift Removal System
With a single button press, the cleaner drives to the waterline and evacuates water rapidly upon removal, making it significantly easier to lift out of the pool for transport.
Cyclonic Vacuum Technology
This system creates a powerful vortex that keeps debris suspended away from the filter walls, ensuring consistent suction power throughout the entire cleaning cycle.
Compatibility
- Safe for all pool surfaces: plaster, pebble, vinyl, and fiberglass
- Suitable for in-ground pools up to 50 feet in length
- Works with standard 120V electrical outlets
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always store your EPIC 8640 on the included caddy when not in use; leaving it sitting on its brushes on the pool deck can cause the rubber blades to flatten over time, reducing scrubbing effectiveness.
Common Questions & Instructions
Is the Polaris EPIC 8640 safe for vinyl liners and fiberglass pools?
Yes, the EPIC 8640 is designed for all pool surfaces, including plaster, pebble, vinyl, and fiberglass, using its dual-traction motors to maintain grip on vertical walls.
How often should I clean the filter canister on my Polaris robotic cleaner?
For optimal performance, the large-capacity debris canister should be emptied and rinsed after every cleaning cycle to prevent debris from hardening and reducing suction.
Does the Polaris 8640 come with a swivel to prevent cord tangling?
This model includes a proprietary Tangle-Reducing Swivel that allows the 60-foot cable to rotate freely, preventing the knots and coils that often interrupt cleaning in freeform pools.
