POLARIS EPIC General Purpose Canister
Product Overview
The standard specification for Polaris EPIC owners who need a reliable, all-season filtration solution for everyday debris.
The Polaris R0898000 is a genuine Fluidra General Purpose Canister designed specifically for the EPIC series robotic cleaners. Polaris manufactures high-quality and durable products and parts designed for efficiency and success, ensuring this canister captures everything from leaves to sand without bypassing the motor. In our experience, using this OEM part prevents the suction loss often seen with generic, ill-fitting alternatives from big-box stores.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Genuine R0898000 Part
This OEM component ensures a precise fit within the cleaner body, which is critical for maintaining the hydraulic seal required for full suction power.
Durable Mesh Engineering
The mesh is designed to withstand high-pressure hose cleanings, allowing for a longer service life than standard replacement filters.
High-Capacity Volume
The large internal volume allows the EPIC cleaner to operate for a full cycle even in pools with moderate leaf loads without needing a mid-cycle empty.
Compatibility
- Polaris EPIC 8642
- Polaris EPIC 8640
- Polaris EPIC Series Robotic Cleaners
When To Use This
Pro Tip
To extend the life of the mesh, avoid using a high-pressure power washer; a standard garden hose nozzle is sufficient and won't fray the synthetic fibers of the R0898000.
Common Questions & Instructions
Is the Polaris R0898000 canister compatible with all Polaris robotic cleaners?
No, this specific canister is designed exclusively for the EPIC series; always verify your model number before purchasing to ensure the locking tabs align correctly with your cleaner frame.
What is the difference between this and the sand/silt canister?
The R0898000 is the general-purpose version meant for leaves and pebbles, whereas the sand/silt version has a much tighter weave for capturing microscopic particles and dead algae.
How often should I rinse the filter canister?
For optimal performance, we recommend rinsing the canister after every cleaning cycle to prevent debris from drying and clogging the mesh pores, which can strain the cleaner motor over time.
