Polaris Epic 8640 Robotic Pool Cleaner with Caddy
The Polaris Epic 8640 Robotic Pool Cleaner with Caddy delivers enhanced maneuverability with a tighter turn radius to better traverse your pool's floors, along with powerful propulsion for more nimble navigation up walls and over obstacles. Engineered for superior debris collection, innovative Double Helix brushes at the front and rear of the cleaner help channel dirt towards the inlet as it vigorously scrubs your pool floor, walls, and waterline.
Built by Polaris with Cyclonic Vacuum Technology, Unmatched Maneuverability dual traction motors, a large transparent-lid filter canister, 60-foot tangle-reducing swivel cable, and a premium caddy — the Epic 8640 is a complete robotic cleaning solution for in-ground pools up to 50 feet on concrete, fiberglass, gunite, pebble, and tile surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the two cleaning modes?
The Epic 8640 offers two one-touch cleaning modes: a floor-only cycle for quick cleanups, and a full floor, walls, and waterline cycle for complete pool coverage. You select the mode before dropping the cleaner in the pool.
How does the Easy Lift Removal System work?
Polaris's proprietary Easy Lift system allows you to retrieve the cleaner at the waterline rather than having to reach down into the pool to grab it from the bottom. This makes removal easier and more comfortable, especially for larger cleaners.
What pool surfaces is the Epic 8640 compatible with?
The Epic 8640 is designed for concrete, fiberglass, gunite, pebble, and tile pool surfaces — covering virtually all residential in-ground pool types.
Does it require a booster pump?
No. The Epic 8640 is a self-contained robotic cleaner that plugs directly into a standard 120V outlet. It operates independently from your pool's pump and filtration system — no booster pump required.
How do I empty the filter canister?
After removing the cleaner from the pool, open the large filter canister via the transparent lid and empty the collected debris. The transparent window lets you see how full the canister is before you even open it, so you know exactly when it needs emptying.
