About this business
Polaris G52 Back-up Valve Assembly. This is a factory original Polaris replacement back up valve. It has a timer mechanism inside that diverts water out of a jet every 5-10 minutes.

Exactly what I needed The installation was simple and I am not good at this stuff. The pool "service" would have charged me five times the cost of ordering and installing it myself . It took less than a few minutes - very happy. Also it fixed the problem .

Big Surpise! Not really needed for my pool Having a pool for 15 years I have had to replace a lot of these because they are not built to last per the insights in other reviews. Instead of replacing the last time it broke I removed and replaced with a $5 swivel. I suggest you try this first. Ends up my Polaris 380 works better because the water flow is not impeded by the valve and, the Polaris 380 actually moves more freely without the weight of the backup valve in the line.
