{"product_id":"collar-for-back-up-valve","title":"Polaris Genuine OEM Collar for Back-up Valve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Polaris G57 is the collar for the back-up valve on the Vac-Sweep 180, 280 and 380 pressure side cleaners, and on the 280 TankTrax. It is the genuine Polaris part, molded in plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the back-up valve does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery pressure side Polaris relies on it. On a timed cycle the valve diverts water from the cleaner to the back-up jet, which pushes the unit backwards and out of whatever corner, step or ladder it has walked itself into. Without that reversal a cleaner can spend an entire cycle pinned in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe collar in particular\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collar clamps the valve together on the feed hose. It is a small part, and when it cracks the valve loses its seal, weakens, or comes apart altogether. The symptom the owner sees is a cleaner that no longer backs itself out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhile you are there\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the collar has failed, inspect the valve body and the O-ring set at the same time. Polaris sells both separately, and a valve that has been leaking has usually taken its seals along with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zodiac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48625785307348,"sku":"POL-201-1776","price":17.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_db0b2352-f954-4643-93fc-8d3e37d7f105.jpg?v=1788692346","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/collar-for-back-up-valve","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
