It is designed to go inline on the hose 5-6 feet back from the head of the unit. This back-up valve kit is designed to use with Zodiac Polaris pool cleaner models 180, 380, 280 and ... read more

Great source for replacement part Ordered to replace the original backup valve on my Polaris 280 which was put into service in March 2015. The original valve lasted around 3 years. This is replacement is original Polaris equipment that installed in minutes. Does not come with new securing nuts so be sure to hold onto the original ones to use on the new valve. Very happy with the price and delivery took about 6 days.

Fits perfectly and works fine. I would buy this again Ran down to the pool store one Saturday to buy this as a replacement for ours that had kicked the bucket. I was SHOCKED to see it priced at $95.99!! Decided to check Amazon and found the exact same thing for almost half the price. Came right away, fits perfectly and works fine. I would buy this again.. although I hope I don't have to for a long time.

My Back Up Valve Works Again!! Bought this as part of a maintenance rebuild for my Zodiac - the old one no longer reversed and was basically 'welded' shut (couldn't open). Went ahead and bought this instead of the rebuild kit - boy am I glad I did! Was very easy to drop this sucker in, with my new hose, and have had zero problems since. Reverses to pull my Zodiac out of any spot it might get hung up in (pool ladder). No complaints, happy with this purchase. Glad I didn't have to deal with potentially breaking old one getting... read more

My only complaint is that the original part lasted only 1 year before developing a circumferential crack. After reading several online reviews, I see that this is typical.

didn't last long the backup valve is a great tool for the Polaris pool cleaner, however the one I purchased in June 2015 has disintegrated on the top half in less than 2 years. The solid top half has split about 90% around causing it to separate from the lower half. This one was a replacement for the original backup valve that came with the Polaris unit. It split in the same place but that was after 10+ years of operation. Disappointed in the working life of this product.
