Product details

The Polaris A21 is the black ballast float head used on Polaris pressure side pool cleaners. It is the genuine Polaris part.

What it does

The float is what sets how the cleaner and its feed hose sit in the water. With the correct float the cleaner rides at its designed height and covers the pool in the pattern it was built for. When a float cracks and fills with water, the cleaner drops, drags, and starts missing whole sections of the floor.

Fitment

This part is catalogued with the Polaris 380 cleaner parts and it also appears on the Polaris 360 and 280 parts diagrams. It is the black version, so it matches BlackMax and other black trimmed cleaners.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does the float head do?
It is the ballast float. It holds the cleaner and its feed hose at the right height in the water so the cleaner tracks the way it was designed to.
Which cleaners is it listed for?
It is catalogued with the Polaris 380 cleaner parts and appears on the Polaris 360, 380 and 280 parts diagrams.
Is this the black one?
Yes. A21 is the black float head.
Why would I need a new one?
Floats crack and take on water with age. Once a float is waterlogged the cleaner rides low, tracks badly and misses sections of the pool.
