Polaris 280 Black Max Pressure Side Pool Cleaner for In-Ground Pools with 31 ft Hose, F5B

The Polaris 280 Black Max, part number F5B, is a pressure side automatic pool cleaner for in-ground pools, in a black finish made for pools with dark bottoms.

What it does

The 280 connects to a dedicated pressure line and runs off a separate booster pump, so it works independently of the rest of your pool system. Double jets provide more vacuum power and a faster clean, rated at three hours or less. It sweeps, scrubs and vacuums the floor, walls and steps, and traps large debris such as leaves and pebbles in its own filter bag before the debris can reach the pump basket or filter.

What is included

The F5B is supplied as a complete head and hose set with a 31 ft hose. The kit includes an all purpose black bag, head float, sweep hose and sweep hose scrubber, cleaner body, feed hose, hose floats, back-up valve, in-line filter assembly, a quick disconnect with universal wall fitting, and restrictor disks. The manufacturer covers it with a one year warranty.

Before you order

This cleaner needs a booster pump to run, so check that your pool has a dedicated pressure line. The Black Max color is the choice for dark bottom pools, where it is hard to spot. A TankTrax version of the 280 is also offered for vinyl pools.
