Product Description

The Polaris 380 pressure-side pool cleaner
(
view larger).

The Polaris Vac-Sweep 380 pressure cleaner works in all in-ground pools, and requires a booster pump (sold separately). Featuring the iconic Polaris three-wheel design, the Polaris 380's all-wheel, belt drive mechanism provides greater vacuum power and faster cleaning (3 hours or less).

Powered by triple jets, the Polaris 380 sweeps, scrubs, and vacuums the bottom, walls, and steps of any size or shape pool, and it holds debris in its single chamber filter bag. Its unique filter bag removes debris before it reaches your pump basket or filter, prolonging the life of your filtration system. An in-line back-up valve automatically frees the 380 if it gets cornered and keeps it cleaning without interruption.

Works in all in-ground pools (view larger).

The 380 requires a separately available booster pump, such as the PB4-60. Polaris pressure pumps are specifically designed to operate your cleaner at optimum cleaning efficiency. The compact, rugged design allows for maximum performance.

Excellent Maneuverability

This pressure-side pool cleaner climbs walls and maneuvers over stairs, picking up large debris such as leaves, acorns and pebbles.

Maximizes Water Circulation and Filtration

Distributing heated water to the deepest parts of the pool as it cleans, the 380 will completely clean your pool in a few hours, giving you more time to enjoy it.

Large Capacity Zippered Filter Bag

The 380 collects and deposits debris before it reaches the pump basket or filter, reducing filter cleanings up to 80 percent, thus prolonging the life of the filtration system and reducing maintenance time.

380 Pressure-side pool cleaner; 31-foot hose kit; deck or wall mount; and operating instructions

Our 10 year old Polaris 280 (image included) finally gave up the ghost and it we decided to shop for its replacement. We looked at other brands of side pool cleaners but we had such great success with Polaris that, for us, it was only a decision between the Polaris 280 or the 380.Both the 280 and 380 require a booster pump, about a $250 additional cost if you don’t already have one. The Polaris 360 does not require the booster pump and is around $75 less than the 280 and $200 less than the 380.Based on all of our research we decided to go with the 380 and we have no regrets. The improvement over our old cleaner was very noticeable, especially it’s ability to climb and clean the pool steps as well as the sides. I added a great photo of it running along the walks of our pool.The installation instructions are easy to read and implement and the ability to adjust the speed of the cleaner and the tail sweep are simple.If you are shopping for the cheapest side cleaner on the market, the Polaris 380 is not it. But, if you want the best, and either have, or are willing to install, a booster pump, then the 380 can’t be beat!
