Polaris 280 Backup valve Does anyone, who has recently ordered this unit from Amazon.com, know if this cleaner, as ordered from Amazon.com, ships with the backup valve as part of the package?

It shipped with it all right. But, within a couple of months the sweep began tangling itself in knots within a reasonably short time EVERYDAY. Polaris Pool Website was useless, site was ALL SALES ORIENTED and NO SERVICE. I finally got it to work reasonably properly by disconnecting the Backup valve and throwing it in the trash. Then, I put another swivel in its place in the line. NO MORE TANGLING.

I replaced the Rainsoft valve system with a Fleck valve and used ResCare to start with a fresh system. I still have the Rainsoft media and ResCare worked fine with it.

Hi - Yes, when I ordered mine, it came with the filter - everything I needed to replace the old unit. I hope this information is helpful!

The part is called an Automatic Regulator Valve and according to the exploded diagram is Part No. 647325075. As to where to get one, I have no answer. Although I kept the Installation and Operation Manual, it gives NO information about where to order repair parts. You may be able to get help from Amazon's Customer Service department -- it's certainly worth a try.

I replaced by disposable paper filter with the K &N; and immediately noticed the difference in "snottiness". Do not listen to the polaris dealers when they tell you that it voids a warranty, because it allows too much dust past. This is a mear sales pitch of theirs. Think about this your paper element gets muddy or soaked with water its now trash. With a K&N; you can clean time and time again. Would you rather throw money away or add some power plus a cleanable reusable filter. I would go with the K&N; anytime, for any application.

If you are able to find the hoses, they will cost you a fortune! We felt deceived with this purchase because it shows the hoses in the picture, so we assumed we were purchasing the entire package. We returned the Ray Vac and purchased the Polaris P94 from Leslie's pool supply. I highly recommend the Polaris.

I just ordered the service valve and installed it just incase we have a hard freeze, easy to install, might be cheaper if you just ordered the parts, that would be your call Big Jim

Oh no! I hope it was empty when it failed! I'm sorry to hear that, ugh is right! This product would probably work but I see that a lot of folks have had the same issue as you and the T58 is working great for them. It seems like they have a similar footprint. I might go with the T58 simply because it was made to rectify the broken valve issue - this one seems to me to be more of an accessory to use occasionally. Anyone out there using this instead if the T58? Good luck, Cyndi!

If you google it, several options will come up. I don't really use mine. I bought it accidentally thinking it was the insulated one. I like my water ice cold so I ordered the kid's Eddy insulated Camelbak and I love it. My water stays ice cold for several hours even in a hot car. Haven't really checked on replacement valves for it. If Amazon doesn't have them, I'll google it. Good Luck!

They helped me out. But I would recommend getting 2 sets of the ladder guards. I thought one set would belp. Of course the Polaris climbed above the set and got caught. Get 2, takes about 10 minutes to install with a screwdriver. No more dislodging Polaris with your pool brush!

I had low to none water pressure and talk with Purenex tech. He told me that it was the pressure tank as I thought. Told me during our discussion that Amazon would be cheaper way to go. Ordered new tank,arrived before due date ,installed and back to great water production and pressure! BC San Diego,Ca

When I received my unit, the dispensing valve had a manufacturer's defect. In order to get it replaced, I was going to have to repackage the entire unit and mail it back for a replacement. I opted for the discount offered me if I kept it and replaced the valve myself. I did not ask about purchasing the separate components, but I would think they would be available. Hope it goes well for you.

Sounds like those dealers are saying whatever they can to make a sale. Now that you mention it, when I first inquired about the Polaris at my local dealer, the gentleman with whom I've dealt with many times told me (while no one else was around) that their markup is very high and that I could do better online (he was right; they wanted $725, I got it for $380 online). I certainly appreciated his honesty (although if his boss heard him he might have been fired). Like you, my experience with the Polaris 280 so far, including purchase, fast shipping, excellent customer service from Polaris, and performance has been great. I hope it continues to perform well for many years.

It will fit. All you really need is the quick disconnect part of it and that hasn't change for years. Of course we are talking as long as you replace it with a compatible unit meaning a polaris 180, 280 or 380 and the newer 3900. Even if you are replacing with a polaris 360 which has a larger diameter hose but the wall outlet connector is the same, all you have to change for the 360 is the quick connect valve. I replaced an old Polaris 180 with a new 380 black max and it works perfectly. A polaris 9300 on the other hand is a robotic vac and you don't need a booster pump or wall connection for that matter.
