About this business
Our most popular automatic pool cleaner The Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 pressure-side pool cleaner works in all in-ground pools and requires a booster pump. It is powered by double jets, providing greater vacuum power and faster cleaning (3 hours or less). The Polaris 280 easily connects to a dedicated pressure line and sweeps, scrubs, and vacuums all surfaces of the pool. The pressure cleaner is equipped with a single chamber filter bag where it captures large debris such as leaves, acorns, pebbles, and other small to large debri... read more
It is working well without tangles in the line. Easy to change and empty bag.
Polaris 280 isn’t the biggest and fanciest with lots of extras - it is simply a really good pool sweep. If it has issues, which our old one didn’t until it got pretty old - it is easy to fix. I brought our old one back to life twice before the reverse valve split. No fault of the sweep, but we decided it was time to replace. Got the new one, hooked it up and it took off like it was supposed to. It was quickly obvious how poor our old one was cleaning. We’ll keep running the 280 until they no longer make it or we no... read more

Hello Joe, Your review is simply the BEST! Happy Swimming. Your Polaris Team
It works well, but it sprays outside the pool too much. The spray makes windows and glass doors look bad.

Hello Anthony, We're happy to hear you're enjoying your 280 pressure cleaner and we want to help with the spraying issue you're having. We suggest the following: 1. Adjust the speed of the sweep hose by tightening the adjustment screw. 2. Replace the sweep hose scrubber if it is worn or missing. 3. Add a sweep hose weight (Part No. B2) to keep the sweep hose from spraying. Our technical support department is also here to help and can be reached at (800) 822-7933. All the Best, Your Polaris Team
Excellent, completely satisfied!

We have had a Polaris 280 for ten years. It has run great. We have rebuilt it twice but it kept running. We have just bought another.

It cleans the pool but it neglects an area in the pool so I brush that area before I turn the Polaris on. It runs in the same areas so much that it has worn the printed pattern off my liner in just three months. I have a new pool so I called the pool company with my concern with the liner. They told to quit running the Polaris... Why did I spend $1500 on it again???

Hello Andrew, Thank you for your feedback. We want to help with the pool coverage issue you are experiencing, and we suggest the following: 1. Verify that feed hose reaches within 6" of the farthest point of the pool. If not, order a new hose section from your Polaris dealer. 2. Check the thrust jet for straight back position that optimizes random turning. 3. While the cleaner is operating, hold it upside down and look into the vacuum tube. There should be two distinct, even jets of water. If there are not, contact Customer ... read more
This cleaner works much better than the older model we have had for many years. It is easier to empty the leaf catcher and it does the job better. I recommend it!

I have used a Polaris for 30+ years. I just replaced the 380 with a 280 on the recommendation of my pool service person.
