Polaris G52 Back-up Valve
About this business
Good deal but before you buy, check on just replacing the broken parts Good price -- 1/2 what the local stores usually want for it. All the right parts in all the right places. This valve breaks way too often so recommend saving the parts from each so you can piece together replacements in future. Unfortunately, its the collar that breaks 75% of the time so this only works a little bit... but you can sometimes find the collar alone for $5 or $6. You can extend the life if you push a float right up against the back of the val... read more

Genuine parts at a fraction of the cost at local pool stores What a difference a new back up valve makes. Our sweeper, we call him Scooter, was slowing down and getting hung up on his own line. I had adjusted just about everything else when I read the back up valve can fill with water after several years. Of course that extra weight would throw off Scooter's ability to maneuver.I bought this replacement and it's working better than ever. The pool stores in town charged double and triple for this part.

all looked fine, so I ran some water through the paddle ... Delivered timely, new (in packaging), however when installed it did not function. I Googled "Polaris G52 problems" and came across a couple of DIY pool maintenance forums...figured I would take it apart to see if there was an obvious issue. Upon opening the housing, all looked fine, so I ran some water through the paddle mechanism to see if it was functioning properly....sure enough, it did not turn at all. I was able to get it to move by forcing it with a screwdriv... read more

Full Back-up Valve Works Great I was having so much trouble with my Polaris pool vac. What amazed me in the end is that I had so-called experienced pool people looking at it working--my pool maintanence man said it was working fine, when it was tilting and floating and going sideways and skipping parts of the pool. I took it to a Polaris rep at the pool store, and he worked it over, charged me for parts, and the thing still wasn't working. None of the people to whom I spoke mentioned the back up valve. I got to reading on my... read more
Repair yourself / Pool stores will rip you off! Inherited polaris 280 with the purchase of my home/pool, didn't work that well so pool guy took it to the shop and rebuilt ($400) and it still didn't work that great in my opinion but what do i know - pretty new to having a pool. a year later bought this thing and now the Polaris works better then ever, little did i know these things fail / malfunction regularly, wish i did research before getting ripped off by pool peeps.
