Polaris 280

It's based on a love/hate relationship: the more you hate pool cleaning, the more you'll love this pool cleaner.

You love having a pool, but hate cleaning it. After 35 years in the pool equipment business, no one understands this better than us. We used this knowledge when we designed the Polaris Vac-Sweep 280, building on the strengths of our proven 180. With the 280, your inground pool will receive complete care in 3 hours or less, giving you plenty of time to enjoy it.

Our powerful booster pump is the difference. The Polaris 280 runs off a separate booster pump, working independently from the rest of your pool system. It enables the 280's double jets to provide greater vacuum power and faster cleaning.

The 280 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs the bottom and walls of any size pool, be it gunite (concrete), fiberglass or vinyl. The extra large bottom opening picks up large debris like leaves, acorns and pebbles.

It's easier on your filter. The Polaris 280 is one of the few cleaners powered by the pressure of clean water returning to your pool. Its unique filter bag removes any debris before it reaches your pump basket or filter. This alone can reduce filter cleanings by up to 80% a year, thus prolonging the life of your filtration system. With the 280, your filter is free to cleanse the water and your skimmer is ready to clean the top six inches of your pool, where 75% of the bacteriological contaminants live.
