Polaris 380 Pressure Cleaner
About this business
This little guy works hard and cleans great, and I just love the way it squirts ... This is the one you want. My old one finally passed away, and tried several very pricey crawlies and bots, they rest in shame in the garage. This little guy works hard and cleans great, and I just love the way it squirts water around when it breaches the waterline. I have Koi ponds in the pool area, predators can be a real problem, Polaris is a water breathing dragon to a hungry Heron, or a sneaky raccoon. Freaks the cat out, but hey, he thou... read more
No Robotic for me and I am happy !!!!! I was thinking of buying a Robotic one and I am happy I didn't. The thing that threw it over for me was that the Polaris 380 is kept in the pool. The Robotic should be taken out. If not you have an electrical cord running over your deck. I have dogs so that wasn't an option. Where do you store it when it is out? From what I read on other posts it was 3 or 4 years before you had to repair it. I replaced my 380 with a new one and it keeps my pool sparkling clean. Walls, stairs and everyth... read more
New Replacing Old Polaris 380 - Great Performance I bought a home about two years ago with a pool. The pool already had a Polaris 380 but it was at least 15 years old. The Polaris was faded and worn looking. I had to replace parts over the last year and decided to get a quote to rebuild it. The quote from a local dealer was "about $300". I checked on the kits to do it myself and they also were high. The dealer wanted $750 for a new unit. I looked on Amazon and found a great buy for a couple of hundred less than the dealer pr... read more
It's OK, but should be better I bought this as a direct replacement. The previous item was from over a decade ago. It lasted for a long, long time. This one works, but is made more cheaply. More on that later.I love it when it works. The idea of being able to plop this in the water, walk away for a few hours, come back and my pool is clean is very appealing. The thing crawls over the whole bottom surface of my 30,000 gallon pool, including the walls. It has enough power to pick up everything from sediment to decent-sized lea... read more
Worth the cost and great customer service from Polaris Bought this back in Oct 2016. We replaced an older 380 so we had the booster pump already. The older one was falling apart and had cracked in a seam along the water management system. The same thing happened with the new one just 4 months after we bought it, the seam was coming apart. But Polaris sent over a new water management system free of charge since it was within warranty. Now it works just fine. We do have to keep the pool pressure low so it works at optimum leve... read more
Works well. Very well. This is our third Polaris 380 in 17 years. We run it almost constantly -- I realize that we could just use it for a few hours at a time but it is hJust easier for us to keep it on most of the time. It works very well. I looked at other cleaners this last time and realized that, because we already had a variety of bags and spare parts from our last 380, it would be significantly more economical to stick with the Polaris. Besides, it really does work well and I didn't see any significant evidence that an... read more
it was great until about the third time I ran it the ... Yes, it was great until about the third time I ran it the hose came apart and blew apart...I have had these in the past and I have never had that happen in the past 10 years...Don't know if I should return it or replace the hose...I am referring to the hose that comes out from the side of the pool and hooks to the sweep. Do you have any suggestions? Thank You..
Polaris 380 has worked well for me This is my second Polaris 380. The last one lasted 14 years and over those years I did need to replace a back up valve which was damaged because I did not drain it properly and it froze and cracked over the winter. I live in Utah and so the cleaner was generally used 2 hours per day from mid May until mid Sept. each year. I would also like to say that I have the original booster pump that has lasted 28 years. If a persons pool was open all year, I would not expect it to last that long. The ... read more
Good, but wheels lock once in a while I have owned this now for two years. It cleans really well when it works. My largest complaint/issue is that the wheels lock up once in a while. When I bought it, it already locked up after a week and local Leslie Pool repaired it (apparently something in the gearbox). Then it ran fine for a long time. Now I have noticed that the wheels start locking again. I have gotten in the habit to check wheel rotation every time I clean out the bag. If wheels are stuck, I rock them back and forth u... read more
