Quick overview

  • Genuine Polaris K27 The factory TankTrax idler wheel, not an aftermarket copy.
  • For TankTrax cleaners The idler used on Polaris 280 cleaners fitted with the TankTrax track system.
  • Keeps the track running true The idler carries and tensions the track, and a worn one lets the track wander or throw.
  • Polaris 280 family Carried against the Polaris 280 and TR28P cleaner.
  • Replace in matched condition Idlers wear as a set, so a badly worn one usually means its neighbors are close behind.
  • Restores climbing A cleaner that stops climbing walls or crabs across the floor is often running on flattened idlers.

Product details

The Polaris K27 is the genuine OEM idler wheel for TankTrax equipped Polaris 280 pressure side pool cleaners. It is carried against the Polaris 280 and TR28P.

What the idler does

TankTrax replaces the bare wheels of a standard 280 with a track. The idler wheels are what that track runs across. They do not drive the cleaner, but they hold the track at the right tension and keep it seated and turning. When an idler flat spots, seizes on its bearing or wears down, the track goes slack and either wanders off line or comes off entirely.

Symptoms and a practical note

A cleaner that has stopped climbing walls, drifts to one side, or repeatedly throws a track is usually telling you the idlers are done. They wear at similar rates across the cleaner, so inspect all of them while it is on the deck. Replacing one obviously bad idler and leaving three tired ones tends to buy only a few weeks.

Questions and answers

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

Which cleaner does this fit?
The Polaris 280 and TR28P pressure side cleaners fitted with the TankTrax track system.
What is an idler wheel?
It is the wheel the track runs over. It does not drive the cleaner, it carries and tensions the track so it stays seated and turns freely.
Is this a genuine Polaris part?
Yes. It is Polaris OEM part number K27.
My 280 keeps throwing a track. Is this the cause?
Very often. A worn or seized idler lets the track go slack or sit crooked, and it comes off. Check the idlers on both sides, since they wear at similar rates and replacing only the obvious one tends to bring you straight back.
