I have had a polaris since 1979, and the tail has always squirted
everything in the backyard for all these years, but it never bothered
me before. I have just had a large solarium added to my home, and the
darn tail is squirting my glass like mad!!!! Would cutting the length
of the tail help, or adding something heavy to the tail work?

From http://www.polarispool.com/pdf/180.pdf :

Action: Sweep hose sprays too
much water out of the pool.

Solution: 1. Adjust the speed of the
sweep hose by tightening
the adjustment screw.

2. Replace the sweep hose
scrubber if it is worn
or missing.

3. Add a sweep hose weight
(order part #B2) to keep the
sweep hose from spraying.
