This is a nice zipper close/open bag This is a nice zipper close/open bag. Nice OEM replacement. works as well as the original. I wish these would last longer than 1 season though. The key for me is to make sure there is no exposed velcro or it will get caught on the bag and rip it apart. No matter how careful you are, the velcro which holds the plastic part which in turn connects to the Polaris will eventually get caught on the bag and slowly rip the outside of the bag to shreds.

Not sure I love it! But I love the ease of ordering ... Not sure I love it! But I love the ease of ordering online and the delivery without delay. Zipper bags are much better than the velcro version which gets extremely dirty. We keep two bags in use at all times so that between changes one dries out completely and the dirt and leaves can be fully expunged. I've had at least 15 of these zipper bags over the years and never had a problem with the zipper. . .I have LOTS of debris floating around her: leaves, pollen, chicken fe... read more

You can basically just unzip it and shake out the debris easily. You might want to have a second bag ... This is a spare/replacement for the original bag that's been used for about 18 months. It's showing signs of wear and will eventually tear, I'm sure. Right now I'm swapping them each week. The bag is much, much easier to clean if you let it dry first. You can basically just unzip it and shake out the debris easily. You might want to have a second bag just for that reason. If you do, be aware that the bag doesn't come with... read more

Polaris Swimming Pool Sweep Bag Very good delivery time. I previous used the velcro closure bags but decided to switch to the zipper type - good choice. Much easier to clean out (with the velcro bags, the debris would often end up getting 'stuck' to the velcro). This bag comes with a velcro attachment to the host where previous bags had a heavy plastic clip for attaching the bag to the host. Just have to be careful not to let the velcro hose tab connect with the bag material since it tends to rip the bag.

This is the zippered bag. Other one is velcro I prefer the zipper bag for a few reasons. 1. its easier to open/close with gunk in the bag (grab the zipper), the velcro one requires you to be a little more hands on with the leaves and frog guts. 2. sand and debris gets caught in the velcro 3. if the velcro back is not perfectly aligned, the hard velcro can rub on the bag as its billowing in the water. Fraying the bag and eventually putting a hole in it.Having said that, my last zippered bag, the zipper broke. not really broke... read more

Works well This fits my pool sweeper perfectly, and it replaced my old nasty bag (which was even starting to decay). My only complaint is that it secures to the water line with a piece of velcro. Every time I remove the bag to dump the contents, I need to fiddle with this velcro. I hope the velcro holds up.... I would have preferred a simple plastic clip.

Love the Zipper Idea BUT This is the first Polaris Cleaner bad I have ever purchased that had a zipper. All the others I have been using over the past 16 years had a velcro closure and the debri would get caught into the velcro and over time the velcro couldn't stick therefore everything that was vacuumed would end up falling back into the water. One trick I use on my cleaner bags is that I place a ladies size knee hi nylon stocking inside the bag. It traps the small dirt particles that fall through the mesh bag openings. Th... read more

Best all round It is the same as the one that came with my Polaris. Had to get a new one after the dog chewed the little snap-in plastic connectors off the original one while I had it swapped out with a leaf bag. This was about half the price It would cost at the local pool store. I would give it a 5 if the bag and the bag connector could be replaced separately (at half the price) in the case that one or the other is damaged. It has a zipper like the original, but no hose slider.

Polaris all Purpose pool cleaner bag I purchased this in March 2010 There are a lot of trees near my pool and not having a specific leaf bag probably means that the standard bag gets a lot of extra strain during fall. The bag finally failed about June 2012Forgetting I had Amazon Prime I bought a replacement the same day at the local pool store and paid $18.00 more than the Amazon price, it is now mid December the new bag has begun to fail along the top seam and the zip jams shut, the only way to empty it is by shaking debris... read more
