Fluidra identifies R0916200 as the Polaris Direction Control Device Side B and lists R0916100 separately as Side A. Current replacement-parts listings identify R0916200 as the V2 Side B component for Atlas/Atlas XT cleaners, while the same manufacturer SKU is also listed for the MAXX suction-side cleaner.

Quick Product Summary

The Polaris R0916200 OEM Direction Control Device V2 Side B is an internal replacement component for compatible Polaris Atlas, Atlas XT, and MAXX suction-side pool cleaners. It works as part of the cleaner’s directional system, supporting the alternating movement and steering behavior that helps the cleaner travel across the pool.

Use this replacement when servicing a cleaner that specifically calls for R0916200 Side B. Because Polaris uses separate Side A and Side B components, verify the part number and cleaner model before ordering rather than selecting the part by appearance alone. Polaris Atlas cleaners use multi-directional navigation to alternate movement patterns while cleaning from the pool floor toward the waterline.

Best For

• Polaris Atlas suction-side cleaner repairs
• Polaris Atlas XT cleaner repairs
• Polaris MAXX suction-side cleaner repairs
• Replacing the V2 Side B direction control device
• Cleaner navigation and directional-system service
• Customers specifically searching for Polaris R0916200

Why This Matters

• Helps maintain proper directional changes
• Supports more consistent cleaner movement and coverage
• Replaces the correct Side B component instead of the separate Side A part
• Exact OEM part-number identification reduces wrong-part orders
• Helps address directional-system issues without replacing the entire cleaner
• Supports continued operation of compatible Polaris suction-side cleaners

Polaris designed the Atlas platform with multi-directional navigation that alternates cleaner movement patterns, making its direction-control components important parts of the cleaner’s movement system.

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• The cleaner does not periodically change direction as expected
• The cleaner repeatedly follows similar paths
• Pool coverage has become inconsistent
• The existing Side B direction control device is worn or damaged
• A cleaner parts diagram specifies R0916200
• You are rebuilding or servicing the directional system on a compatible cleaner

These symptoms can have more than one cause, so inspect the cleaner and confirm the correct replacement part before ordering.

Product Specifications

Fluidra directly identifies R0916200 as Direction Control Device Side B. The UPC and V2 Atlas/Atlas XT designation are corroborated by Polaris-parts listings, and MAXX compatibility is independently listed under the same manufacturer SKU.

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

The Polaris R0916200 is used as a Side B direction control device in compatible Polaris suction-side cleaners. Current parts references identify applications including Polaris Atlas, Atlas XT, and MAXX.

Confirm all three before ordering:

• Cleaner model
• R0916200 part number
• Side B position

Do not substitute the Side A component. Fluidra lists R0916100 as Side A and R0916200 as Side B, confirming they are separately identified replacement parts.

Installation / Use Notes

Turn off the pool circulation system and remove the suction-side cleaner from the pool before servicing it. Use the appropriate Polaris cleaner parts diagram to locate the Side B direction control device, compare the replacement with the existing component, and confirm part number R0916200 before installation.

After replacement, reassemble the cleaner according to Polaris instructions and observe cleaner movement during operation. If you are unfamiliar with servicing the cleaner’s internal mechanical components, professional pool-service assistance is recommended.

Buy with Confidence

Benchmark Pool Supply specializes in identifying genuine pool cleaner replacement parts by exact manufacturer number, cleaner model, and component position. With directional components such as R0916200, distinguishing Side B from the separate Side A component is especially important.

Benchmark also carries related Polaris Atlas cleaner parts, including R0916100 Side A and R0916500 Atlas Track V2, making it easier to service multiple worn components when needed.
