polaris 380

Our pool that came with our house had a broken Pool Cleaner (Polaris 380) and Booster Pump (Polaris PB4-60). Knowing how to manually clean a pool and no idea how to fix a pool cleaner, I tossed the cleaner in storage. Fast forward a year when manually cleaning is losing its luster, I discover...

I purchased this pressure stick from Amazon. Unfortunately, the seller did not provide any instructions etc. with the purchase. I am currently troubleshooting my Polaris 380 - and have reached this stage. However l, I want to avoid making stupid mistakes/errors in setup and found this forum...

I have a Jandy 380 pool sweep powered by the Polaris PB4-60 booster pump. Its worked fine for about 7 years, but now the pump has quit and needs replacing. I just heard about robot vacuums. Has anyone made the switch from a booster/Jandy 380 to a robot vacuum? Any recommendations? I'm...

tl/dr How broken and/or underperforming should my Polaris 380 be before I fix, rebuild or replace it? Long story: My Polaris 380 has a lot of problems. I hope that this forum can help me decide whether to fix it or replace it. 1. The base assembly is broken. The rectangular tab that sits just...

recently replaced 3 connectors on hose. used new nuts. very big leaks that are very noisy. tried experimenting with one today by cutting off thread on hose and re-inserting. no change. leak is coming from cleaner side of connection (nut on side closest to cleaner) for all. newly purchased...

Hello, I wonder if some has any ideas as to what can be wrong with my Polaris 380. The wheels are not turning at all. They only turn manually. Polaris just went thru a rebuilt, new belts, wheels, all new gears, all ball bearings are new as well as a new back up valve and tail. It was working...
