Polaris Epic 8642 iQ Robotic Pool Cleaner with Caddy
The Polaris Epic 8642 iQ Robotic Pool Cleaner with Caddy adds iAquaLink® app control to the proven Epic 8640 platform — giving you anytime, anywhere Wi-Fi control of your pool cleaner. Enhanced maneuverability with a tighter turn radius and greater agility propels the cleaner up walls and over obstacles, while a new advanced Double Helix brush design channels dirt toward the inlet for superior debris collection as it scrubs the 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 — everything the Epic 8640 offers, plus full iAquaLink app connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Epic 8642 iQ and the Epic 8640?
The Epic 8642 iQ adds iAquaLink® Wi-Fi app control to the Epic 8640 platform. Everything else — the Cyclonic vacuum, Double Helix brushes, Easy Lift system, transparent canister lid, dual cleaning modes, and premium caddy — is identical. The iQ is for pool owners who want smartphone scheduling and remote control on top of the 8640's proven performance.
What can I do with the iAquaLink app?
The iAquaLink app gives you anytime, anywhere control of the Epic 8642 iQ via Wi-Fi. You can start and stop cleaning cycles, select cleaning modes, monitor cleaning status, and spot clean targeted areas — all from your smartphone.
What are the two cleaning modes?
The Epic 8642 iQ 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. Both can be selected from the cleaner or via the iAquaLink app.
Does it require a booster pump?
No. The Epic 8642 iQ plugs into a standard 120V outlet and operates completely independently from your pool's pump and filtration system.
How does the Easy Lift Removal System work?
Polaris's proprietary Easy Lift system lets you retrieve the cleaner at the waterline rather than reaching down to the pool bottom — making removal easier and more comfortable at the end of each cycle.
