Get Expert HelpWhat the Polaris Freedom SC does well
Tap & Lift Removal System: For convenient retrieval at the waterline when cleaning is done — simply tap the cleaner and watch it climb up the wall to you so you can easily grab the handle as water quickly evacuates for lightweight removal.
Two Cleaning Modes: Clean the pool while you get ready. The FREEDOM SC cordless robotic cleaner cleans your floor or floor and walls in 2 hours or less — giving you enough time to do what you need before guests arrive.
Simple Charging: Recharge your cleaner in under 5 hours without ever leaving the pool deck. FREEDOM SC is rated for outdoor charging — simply attach the power cord to the back of the cleaner and plug it into any outlet nearby.
Connect With Your Cleaner: Whether you’re at home or away, you can check on your cleaner from the iAquaLink app— the industry’s highest-rated pool control app. The WiFi enabled FREEDOM SC provides charging status, allows you to select cleaning modes and sends push notifications once cleaning is complete.
Power that Endures: Optimal results require optimal power. FREEDOM SC comes with a long-lasting lithium-ion battery that won't compromise endurance or performance ensuring your pool is clean for years to come.
The Freedom SC is the cordless Polaris for people who found the others too heavy. At 26.2 lb it undercuts the Freedom Plus by fourteen pounds, and Tap & Lift means you don't have to fish for it — a tap on the cleaner sends it up the wall to you.
Tap & Lift
Rather than a remote or an app command, you physically tap the cleaner and it climbs to the waterline. It sounds gimmicky and isn't: it works when your phone is inside, when the app has logged you out, and when whoever is using the pool has never opened the app at all.
Charging on the deck
Rated for outdoor charging, with a full recharge in under five hours. That's short enough to clean, charge, and clean again in a day — which is what you need during heavy leaf drop.
Where it sits
Two cleaning modes and a 2-hour cycle put it below the Freedom and Freedom Plus on capability. What you get back is weight and charge speed. If handling is your constraint, this is the Polaris cordless to buy.
