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 debris. Its unique filter bag removes debris before it reaches your pump basket or filter, prolonging the life of your filtration system.

Powered by double jets and a required booster pump to deliver strong vacuum power and complete cleaning.

Sweeps, scrubs, and vacuums pool floors and walls across all in-ground pool shapes and surfaces for a visibly cleaner pool.

A high-capacity filter bag collects debris of all sizes before it reaches your pump basket or filtration system, reducing maintenance and extending the life of your pool equipment.

Designed for long-term operation with simple installation and reliable pressure-powered cleaning. Also available in a Black Max™ model to complement dark-bottom pools.
