Carl, thanks for your reply. The unit never really wrapped itself into a coil that it could not escape. It moved around pretty good, just favored the deeper part of the pool and one particular corner in that end. As I mentioned in my original post, I have several return jets. 2 in the wall, 2 in the stairs, and 2 in the floor. I can turn the 2 floor jets and the two stair jets off with valves. The 2 wall jets however are tied to one valve so I can't turn the one that the Polaris isn't connected to off. I will say this, the unit comes with 2 "eyeball regulators". The instructions say to place the eyeball regulators into the remaining jets. I didn't do that. The remaining wall jet was open. This may have been the problem. This morning I put the eyeball regulator into the other wall jet. I will see if the unit operates better tonight.

Alternatively, the mechanism inside can get out of whack and some jets aren't running correctly. The Polaris should alternate among all its jets, but it shouldn't seem to "favor" any one or another. They should all seem pretty much the same. Do you notice the surface unit wrapping the hose into a coil that it cannot escape? That's a sign of a problem internally. If you are not seeing that I suspect the other jets are pushing the Polaris away from the shallow end. Try hooking it to one of THOSE returns and see if it avoids the deep end...
