Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 - Carlsbad, CA
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
This is the second one I’ve owned and have always been pleased with the performance of this pool cleaner. The first one I had I purchased in 1997 and it was a good one but I do like the current design better.

Purchase via Amazon was seamless with a very quick delivery. Setting up the Polaris was quick and easy, everything needed was included in the box. I had the unit connected and running in less than 30 mins. The Polaris 280 had my pool clean (following 3 months of cleaning neglect) after a couple of hours. Completely satisified......

I have not been satisfied with thee Pool Cleaner so far. Part of the problem could have been the pool guy who installed it, but there are little things that annoy me. The cleaner tends to get stuck in areas of the pool, and there are areas of the pool where the cleaner is not going. I was told it would go over steps as well. Haven't seen it clean the steps at all.

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your Polaris 280 Pressure Cleaner review! We're sorry that you are not completely satisfied with your cleaner. We can help. 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. Here are some adjustments you can try to keep your cleaner running optimally to cover t... read more
I have only had it for 4 weeks but it sometimes gets stuck in the corner of the pool. One time the “tail” got stuck between the drive wheels. Other than that seems to work ok so far.

The ordering process was professional and very customer service friendly. My product arrived as advertised. It was easy to set up and activate. If there were any issues, there was a step by step video URL included (welcome surprise) on how to properly connect your device and set it to perfect functionality. Great experience all around.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Xavier! We really appreciate your taking the time to share your experience with us and with others. Happy swimming! Your Polaris Team
My experience has been very positive. My only suggestion for a complete 5star rating is to make the collection bag a little bigger. In Texas, the leaves fall constantly, and with the wind, we get some of the neighbors..... I just don’t like having to empty the bag every 8 hours.
Business response:
Thanks for choosing the Polaris 280 Pressure Pool Cleaner, Scott! Your trust and satisfaction are our top priorities. We recommend emptying your bag once it's halfway full to prevent tipping, and even sooner if you have heavier debris. To make this process a bit more convenient, we recommend you keep two bags on hand to alternate them out. That way, you can leave one bag out to dry and very easily empty the debris once it has dried. Meanwhile, you can place an alternate bag on your cleaner so you never have to disrupt your... read more
