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

Needed this and it sure did deliver! I purchased a home with a pool and had never owned a polaris sweeper before. So when it started to malfunction, I was a little unsure as to how to go about repairing it. I did a little online research and found out that the problem was likely related to this back-up valve. I searched Amazon and immediately came to the item I was looking for. The price was great, compared to other sites on the internet, so I jumped on the deal. The valve arrived quickly, with instructions, in the original ... read more

Polaris G52 Vac-Sweep Replacement Back-Up Pool Valve The Polaris pool sweep seemed to be down to it's last leg. After a quick inspection I found the back up valve had a significant crack in it, and the sweep wasn't getting enough pressure to move forward to do its job (let alone 'back up' when it got stuck). Found a replacement back up valve on Amazon (for less than the local supply store). Quick delivery, easy change out (once I figured out the screws should loosen toward the existing valve not away from it. Doh!), and the ... read more

Amazon is the way to go! On a Sunday morning, I noticed my Polaris wasn't running normally. Upon inspection, noticed the ring holding the housing together had slit... Went to the local "pool supply store" and could only purchase the whole unit (complete housing) for $85. I went ahead and purchased it. Little angered about the price (and the fact I couldn't just get the piece I needed), I checked online. Had many options, including by just the broken piece itself. Ultimately, I decided to buy the housing from Amazon. In short... read more

Same Product with a Big Discount I needed to repair the back up valve for my Polaris and started checking on line prices for the parts. The pool store prices were ridiculous and had to be special ordered with a two week wait time. When I checked on line I was pleased to learn that Amazon carried the assembly. The assembly price with free shipping (Amazon Prime) was within a few dollars of the service parts alone. It was an easy decision with genuine Polaris parts. I also bought the "will fit" bags also available on Amazon th... read more

excellent buy My old unit decided to take a dump after 20 years of service and although I could have purchased a replacement locally I decided to try the online service and was pleasantly surprised at the service and the price from Amazon, about half the cost of buying the unit here locally plus I saved the sales tax. Shipping was free to top it off and the delivery was only a few days which was no problem at all. The new unit is working flawlessly and my poolman is impressed as well.Pgun66
