This is an expensive kit. Everything about Polaris is expensive. The kit was every piece of the machine except the main body and one tube. If you don't know why your Polaris isn't working, this kit will fix it. It's easy to use, just a phillips screwdriver and you can change everything. If this doesn't fix your problem then it's either the pump or the "acorn". This "REBUILD Kit" is more expensive than the "tune up" kit, but it has a lot more parts, even a new body. Your Polaris will look and act brand new after this. It is expensive, but your Polaris will be all new and should work for a few years after you change the parts.

It's the best of the in-ground vacuums, but that danged water line has a memory and the vacuum won't run for more than 15" before the tubing is coiled...limiting the range of cleaning. So...you've got to haul in the vacuum, straighten the line and start over. Maybe if I store it with the line straight for a while it'll be less likely to coil. It's also over priced.

This is the 4th 280 we have owned. When we purchased our house with the pool it had a Pentair Legend 4-wheel cleaner. The pool has steps on one end and a raised level with bar stools on the other. The Pentair was continually getting stuck trying to navigate around the bar stools. When it was time to replace it I got the Polaris 280. It does a better job maneuvering around the bar stools, however the length of the hose affects its performance; to short and the hose snags on the top of the stools; to long and the 280 will occasionally tie the hose in a knot where it comes out of the pool wall. The 280 does a respectable job on the steps, but the bottom of the cleaner does drag on the edges of the steps and sometimes gets hung until the backup valve kicks in. However, I haven't read of another cleaner that does any better. In Texas our pool and cleaner runs all year so when the 280 doesn't appear to be moving properly or is slow moving around the pool I order a tune-up kit. For less than half the price of a new 280 this kit replaces all the wheels and moving parts and in effect you have an almost new cleaner...also much cheaper than having the pool store rebuild your cleaner. I also highly recommend the tail sweep pro for the end of the tail sweep, unless you don't mind getting sprayed or having it spray pool water on your windows.Read full review

I obtained a Polaris F5 to replace my 280 at roughly half off list price. This unit was described as used or rebuilt and came with a full mfg. Warr. I found this offer too good a deal to pass up. I purchased it expecting a machine with some wear. But to my delight I could discover no user wear after inspection upon arrival. I placed it into my dirty pool for immediate duty. Some shock and several hours of sweeps yielded a clean pool and packed filter bag. Thx eBay š

I have owned a polaris 280 for 18 years and repaired it many times. Parts are easy to come by and it works good. I recently replastered my pool and replaced my old 280 with this new one. I forgot how good it works! I really like the new inline screen filter in the hose where you can see it. It used to be in the wall, and hard to clean.
