Don't buy it for the easy connection Great pump so far, the the "easy connections" are a joke. You will need to buy some hose clamps to ensure that the connections stay in place.
Better to buy this than the quieter Halcyon version. I had a 3 year old booster pump that was the quieter, more expensive model (the Halcyon model). I liked the idea of quieter and could afford the extra premium. This pump developed a crack in the plastic plate, and since the pump was relatively new and in good condition, I went to find a replacement plate. Turns out that on this Halcyon model, you cannot just replace that part: you have to buy an entire new pump. Bad luck maybe, until you do some research and see that it is... read more
To much noise!!!!!! I've been working on and installing pools for over 20 years, and have installed hundreds of Polaris pool cleaners. In the last two years, I have purchased, for my customers, this Zodiac motor, to replace the original Polaris motor. Apparently Zodiac has purchased the Polaris name. This motor makes 75% more noise than the original Polaris motor!!!! I have one, that is one year old, in a electric motor repair shop, for a replacement bearing, to try and make this thing run quiet, like it should. Either they ... read more
2nd pump in 2 years, both out of warranty...Very poor customer service. This is the Second Polaris pump I've had to replace in 2-years; both of which have failed. The first pump was 2-years old and out of warranty... Purchased a new pump in September 2012 after the season, not realizing 12-month warranty from date of purchase (my mistake there). The pump was installed in May 2013, only ran it a few times during the season and was uninstalled in September 2013 where it was stored for the winter. In April 2014, when we opened ... read more
replaced old pump perfectly. Arrived in 1 day with prime! This pump is easy to install (watched a youtube video) [...] The only thing is the softube quick connects that come with this pump do not slide over the flange barb enough to put retainer clip on. Don't kill yourself trying to put them on. The hose fits snugly and securely enough and will not come loose.
No Warranty There is no warranty on this pump. Articles describing how you can repair are wrong. Amazon is through with it once sold. You have to go to Polaris. Read their warranty on their site. Must be installed by professional. No parts sold to individuals. THEREFORE...you have no warranty in spite of anything said on this site.
DIY Switch I ended up switching an 8 year old booster pump. The wiring was the same therefore that was the easiest. I did not end up using the included hose and clips. I did try to put one end on, which has a male 3/4" PVC fitting. It was next to impossible to put this on without tools. I opted to go to the local hardware store and get the appropriate fittings and PVC pipe, cost of less than $5.00 and re-do the PVC connections. Ended up getting a new booster pump when the local pool company was going to charge $100 just to c... read more
SEIZED UP in less than one year and Zodiac-Polaris DOES NOT HONOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT without expensive service call!! SCAM!!! COMPLETE RIP OFF!! This is a piece of junk! It seized up in less than a year. The previous one lasted over 7+ years. Zodiac/Polaris will not replace the unit unless you first hire an expensive contractor and they DO NOT PAY for labor or a service call. The labor is likely more expensive than the pump = Warranty is worthless and COMPLETE RIP OFF!! Do not buy this poorly manufactured, poorly supported... read more
