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. This jet acts as a back up, pulling the cleaner out from the pool floor or wall. There is an arrow on one side of the hose barb that should face towards the cleaner. 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

Saving Money! I have a Polaris 380 that suddenly fell apart in the pool. When I checked and looked closely the back up valve split right in half. I used to just call the pool service and have them replace it but every time they come it costs far too much money. I looked up the part on Amazon, ordered it and installed it 2 days later. It was a simple enough installation and the Polaris is now jutting around the pool just fine. Highly recommended!

I install this and works like new again My 14 year old Polaris 280 was acting up , running on its side and floating around at times . Turns out this part was not sealing off completely during the "run" part of cycle actually holding the 280 back . I install this and works like new again . FYI I actually thought this was going to be a Generic part but was pleasantly surprised to see that it is a Genuine Polaris Part . Here is a tip for those Polaris owners that do not get a long life from unit ,I leave mine in the pool all th... read more

Fits correctly and reinvigorated my Polaris 280 Fits perfectly. My Polaris 280 is now zipping around the pool again. I was not able to open the old backup valve to see the actual issue because of the plastic welding together. I determined the old valve was bad by taking it out and connecting the hose directly to the Polaris 280. The Polaris moved fast, but got stuck. Once I put this new valve in, the Polaris 280 continued to move fast, but was able to backup correctly. The valve looks identical to the old valve. I would buy ... read more

Original manufacturer replacement part and my Polaris is up and running again My old one started spraying all the time including serious leakage through the main compartment seams. It was making my Polaris 180 inoperable. This is an original manufacturer replacement part and works great. Easy install and my unit once again backs out of blockages caused by the pool steps and benches.Can't beat the price (exactly 1/2) compared to purchasing at the local pool supply store.
