Works as advertised. Works as advertised. It is still important to add a float in front and behind the backup valve to prevent the Polaris from getting stuck in the corner of the steps or the raised drains in the bottom of the pool. The floats give added boyancy when the back up valve activates.

Replacement valve for pool vacuum The G52 valve works as expected. The packaging was not ideal protection for the device. You're better off going to the local pool store and pick one up.

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.

It appears to be identical to the original unit This product is used to relocate the vacuum head when it corners itself or remains in a small area of the pool. This unit, unlike the one it replaced does not move the vacuum more than two feet during its relocate cycle, which allows the vacuum to return directly to its trapped position.

Short life span of internals Life of the internal gear drive sucks,lucky to get one season out of units. Also they don’t seem to have to power to pull Polaris out of corners like they use 2!What other choices are there?Polaris brand is supposed to be the best!
