can I replace the polaris zodiak pump to clean my salt water pool that is 44000 gallons?

I am using this pump@4 hours per day in a 20x40 pool @33000, with my Polaris cleaner. It works great. Might have to run a little longer in your larger pool.

Hi, That is a large pool, I would recommend a Hayward Tri-Star 2HP pump or Hayward Eco-Star, Thanks,

Yes, But it is not needed if you are running the saltwater system. You may need to run it a few more hours. You can also buy the little bags of shock and shock the pool every week or or when ever you have a lot of people in the pool. I myself run my saltwater system at least 12 hours and I keep the pump running 24-7. I add 1 bag of salt at the end of the year. Keeping the pool moving at all time keeps it clear plus cleaning the filter on a regular basis (about every 3-4 days).

If you just run the pump believe you can, look at the owners manual -should be on line. If you run the whole system - a low salt warning will appear on the control panel,

I didn't know there were different sizes. I would check the polaris website for your model and the parts list/diagram to be sure. And the manuals are there too for the proper lengths per your pool size.

You can do saltwater in this pool but it requires a special pump that has to be ordered seperately. The pump that comes with with pool is only for clorinated water and will not work with salt water. You can contact Intex.com directly to order a salt water pump but they are not cheap! These pools get leaks and after a couple of years the liners have to be replaced and they cost about $200 and you can't get the liner from any other pool supplier but Intex. They have made sure of that so they control the pricing. So if the liner lasted longer I would invest in a saltwater pump however....I am not sure it is worth it to do. You will have a lower maintenance pool and much cleaner healthier water. You can do saltwater in this pool but it requires a special pump that has to be ordered seperately.

My filter & pump system are Hayward, my salt chlorinating system is Goldline (a Hayward owned company) & the GLX-Flo-RP 15 I purchased through Amazon has worked great for 2 swimming seasons with no problems.

It works fine with the salt generator. It's like any other pump. You adjust run times with generator % to deliver correct chlorine level. This is a very smooth operating powerful pump. I've only had it since the end of last season. No complaints so far.

I do not know. I do not have a salt water pool. It would be best to ask the manufacturer. I was well pleased with the item.

Yes. I strongly recommend this pump over the std Polaris pump. It is much quieter.

I also had an old Polaris and the wall fitting worked fine. As a matter of fact I had a different brand before the Polaris and the fittings are the same. The fitting was installed in my pool about 25 yrs. ago.

The previous answers are all correct. The pump would require a bypass on the volute chamber or voluth if you prefer. Another possible shut of would be a pressure sensor that would release a motor contact set and there is not anything resembling these two things on this pump. However, if you need the pressure to not exceed a set point any one of these two options could be added to the pump. NOTE: all Polaris system use a pressure relief device located at the connection at the pool side. This is where the hose connects from the outlet to the Polaris unit. If the pressure gets to high it blows a disk off and the back pressure is released. The previous answers are all correct.

Yes, it is a direct replacement except the wiring plugs from the old pump have to transferred to the new pump. These pumps last only about a year under daily use. I wish Savior had used a better pump.

I use the pole that I normally use to vacuum the pool. It can be purchased at the pool store or Wal-Mart. I don't know about the Polaris hose. I have a different hose for that.

The Polaris 360 is a side pressure cleaner, meaning that it attaches to a port on the side of your pool that jets water INTO it and makes it travel around. If your Jandy does that, then the Polaris should work. If your pool is like mine, however, with only a SUCTION port on the side, it will not. After several attempts to redirect enough water from the pump by closing off all other jets, it was still not enough pressure to make the cleaner move. Polaris's statement that the Polaris 360 works in ALL pools without a dedicated pump is misleading. Check to see if your system requires a pressure cleaner or a suction cleaner.

No the pump that came with your pool is fine. I love my salt water pump. I just have to change the filter out every few days.

I have bought a rebuild kit for this cleaner. It works well now. My pool service man suggests buying the 280 or 380 over this cleaner. The 3900 Sport is not worth the cost and fickleness of the cleaner.
