Polaris PB4-60 Booster Pump
About this business
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
My opinion Rating based on my opinion and product use. The rating needs to be a drop down only and not require someone to write an additional response. You will get better data with the multiple choice questions.
Very Dissapointed! I had a professional pool service install this pump and he said the shaft does not turn freely. It seems to be in a bind. I am returning the pump for a refund. Very disappointed as this was going to save me about $150.
Works, but not impressed. Just installed this pump and my comments are: 1. The motor was factory wired for 230v; however wiring diagrams for both 110v and 230v are clearly indicated on the motor casing which made the reconfiguration to 110v easy. 2. The so called quick connect/disconnects are anything but "Quick". After repeated tries, I had to ditch those quick connect/disconnects and plumbed it with PVC pipe and fittings. It is a great idea; however, Polaris should come up with a better design. Do not waste time with those... read more
Good booster pump with fair price Bought on Monday, received on Wednesday (which was yesterday), and installed the last night. Amazon Prime is very handy when you really need sth to be delivered quickly, as in my case. My old booster pump finally gave up after who-knows-how-many years of service (we bought the house not too long ago). I tried to replace the seals on the old pump and it did stop the water leakage but the pump's bearing may have been worn out because of the grease washed away but the leaking water, together wi... read more
Lasted 15 Months I purchased this PB4-60 to replace the same that was 13 years old. After I installed it I was a little concerned because it just didn't quite sound right. It worked ok but had a slightly different sound to it. Anyway, I should have known better because it went out at 15 months. Motor hums, shaft turns so I replaced capacitor with no luck. May have saved some money by buying online but that was only in the short term.
Sometimes it is better to do yourself We have had our pool contractor replace this pump for years, many times. This time we chose to handle ourselves. It took a few hours but the pump works so much better..
This unit was bad I ordered this just before going on deployment. It arrived just a day before I flew out to Afghanistan. Weeks later I heard from the pool guy I have been using for years (and whom I trust completely) that he tried to install it but it did not work. I will try to send it back for a refund when I return from my tour.
