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
Meets expectations Installed easily once I realized the right direction of threading for the hose nuts.

Didn't want to risk buying a knockoff My Polaris pool sweep is back to working great after replacing my broken backup valve. I considered buying a knockoff backup valve for half the price but decided not to based on reviews I read. I don't know if I made the right decision but it works now.

arrived quickly and working great I only have had it installed for 3 weeks. This summer it will get a good workout, so waiting until that timeframe.
Name brand version much better than generic brand Prior to replacing the backup valve with this Polaris one, the generic brand backup valve consistently pushed the pool cleaner hose over our negative edge pool wall - no matter how I tried to adjust it or the hose pressure. Plus the generic backup valve was often causing our pool cleaner hose to get tangled up. I decided to go with the name brand, and it has made all the difference. No more pool cleaner hose hanging over the negative edge, and no more tangled hose. It is defi... read more
After 11 Months, Replaced Under Warranty Once again, I spent extra money for a "genuine" Polaris/Zodiac G52 Backup Valve (twice the price as the aftermarket part) & once again, it broke in exactly the same way as my last "genuine" Polaris/Zodiac G52 Backup Valve. This one lasted less than 11 Months! The part is warranted for 12 months so I'll attempt a warranty replacement thru Amazon. I'll let you know if the warranty is honored. FOLLOW-UP: After a brief call to Amazon, the 1 year warranty was honored and replacement arrive... read more
