Quick Connect Plastics Cheap and Prone To Failure Mine came delivered with a shattered quick connect piece, and another that was clearly compromised, as it broke off in volute, forcing me to buy another. ZERO stars.
Cheap Chinese crap Purchased this one to replace the one I purchased 1 year and 1 month ago from amazon. Same model PB 4-60. Hopefully this new one will last longer. The one that came with my pool lasted 6 years. It had an AO Smith that was made in the USA. These have centurion motors that are made in China.
Unless you are a certified pool company - DO NOT INSTALL We ordered this in Aug 2019 and installed ourselves (in an attempt to save a few dollars) in early September. Installation was easy and everything worked great. Used for the remainder of the summer (1-2 months) and after the first use this spring, the motor gave out. Contacted the the seller via Amazon and they referred us to Polaris. When I called Polaris they will not replace because we did not have a certified pool store install it for us - UNREAL!
burnt out in 10 months burnt out in 10 months. professionally installed by an electrician. cannot seem to get a replacement done as the order number in amazon is missing and supplier is not replying. buy new for $300 after taxes etc or give up? not fun
Had to repair it on day one of operation I was replacing an existing booster pump so this was the same model. The old pump was hard plumbed in so I kept the same PVC. As soon as it was turned on the pump portion was leaking at the drain plug. Turns out the drain plug was cross-threaded and the o-ring was damaged. I had to use lineman's pliers to take the plug out as it was in that bad. When the plug was removed there were several pieces of the plastic thread on the case unit that came off the plug. Luckily for me my career o... read more
Flawed product and bad lot. Don't buy. My husband installed pump. It ran 5 seconds the first time and one second a few more times he turned it on. He thought perhaps he improperly connected the wires so he had our electrician check it out. What he found was one side of 115 v line drew 9 amps and other side was drawing 59 amps whereas it should have also be drawing 9 amps. That service call cost us $75. Since our pool had already gone 2 weeks w/o Polaris, we paid full price ($348) for the same pump so our electrician could in... read more
Pump is 15 months old and has stopped working. Poor quality. I bought this pump in January 2019. It stopped working yesterday. It hums a bit on start for perhaps 5 seconds and then nothing. I need replace it but the Zodiac warranty is 12 months and thus at 14 months, I am out of luck. I will not buy this pump again. There are other solutions. Previous pumps have last a minimum of 5 years.
Buyer beware Do not by this pump. It lasted 2 months and we tried to return it. Well since I’m not a pool guy they would not warranty it. I’m a aircraft mechanic with over 30 years experience. I can attach two wires and a ground. Why sell a pump on amazon where a home owner will install it knowing you will not warranty. Buyer beware.
Typical run around The pump face plate cracked spewing water everywhere. I ordered in Aug ‘19 in anticipation that my old pump was on its last leg. Had installed last week and it was defective ie cracked housing in face plate. Amazon distributor says too long for their warranty go to Polaris. Typical run around.
