Polaris Vac-Sweep 280
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
So far the cleaner has worked great and seems to be working good. We will see if it continues, for the cost of the unit it should do a good job and last for a long time.
Only complaint is the connection hose gets tangled up with the sweep constantly and I need to untangle at least once daily. Not good if I go away. I have lots of trees that drop leaves.

Hi Kathy, Thank you for the review. We're sorry you're experiencing hose tangling. There are a few common causes for hose tangling on pressure cleaners such as improper hose length or hose float positions, malfunction of the G52 back-up valve, retained hose memory, and temperatures below 60 degrees causing the hose to become stiff. Here is a quick video that summarizes how to make some adjustments: https://youtu.be/BVfc1vK6GRc?list=PL3Fq80t74vvkxHT684MB3odGNMSAQ8F8y.

This vacuum is fun to watch. It has a "tail" that swishes back & forth as it cleans. My grandchildren love it when it comes up to the surface & sprays them. Our pool is clean & free of stuff on the bottom & sides.
Excellent product. A must to have to keep your pool clean. Love this product. Very easy to setup and put in use. A+

Dear John, Thanks for sharing your first-hand Polaris experience. It's always a pleasure to hear from loyal customers like yourself. Wishing you many more reliable years of service from your Polaris cleaners. All the Best, Polaris
Works great
Seems to work really well. The only problem I have is the fact that it seems to get stuck on our stairs from time to time.

Doing a good job. Gets stuck occasionally.
Business response:
Dear Tony, Thank you for the Polaris 280 review! To prevent the cleaner from getting stuck, check the following: 1) Verify proper flow by counting the wheel revolutions per minute (RPMs). 2) Ensure the Back-up Valve is cycling on and off about every three minutes. 3) Adjust the Thrust Jet to change the directional path of the cleaner. If the cleaner is getting stuck in a particular area of your pool, we may be able to offer additional tips. Simply email feedback@zodiac.com or call (800) 822-7933 for more help. Thanks!

This pool cleaner was wonderful. I had an older polaris that I bought 7 years ago and it stopped working. I was close to getting an electrical cleaner, but the price was double this model plus I already had the extra booster pump. Smart choice! The intake bag is much wider and it picks up large leaves and even sand. Also love the white and blue look!. Very pleased over the last 4 weeks!!
Replaced a 7 year old with a new one. Always like the performance
