Product details

Polaris 6-411-00 is the genuine piston assembly for the Polaris 160 and 165 pool cleaners. It is the factory part, supplied complete in plastic to the original specification.

What the piston does

The piston is at the heart of how these cleaners move. It cycles constantly whenever the cleaner is running, which makes it a wear item rather than a part you expect to keep forever. As it wears, the cleaner starts to hesitate, drift off its pattern or stall in a corner, and owners often chase the hose or the booster pump before they get to it.

Before you order

Check that flow to the cleaner is healthy first, since a kinked hose or a weak booster can produce the same symptoms. If flow is good and the cleaner still will not cycle properly, the piston assembly is the part to change.

Questions and answers

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

Does this fit both the 160 and the 165?
Yes. Polaris lists 6-411-00 as the piston assembly for both cleaners.
Is it a genuine Polaris part?
Yes. It is the OEM Polaris piston assembly, part number 6-411-00.
Does it come assembled?
Yes. It is supplied as a complete piston assembly rather than as loose components.
How do I know the piston is the problem?
A worn piston usually shows up as a cleaner that hesitates, stalls or stops following its pattern even though water flow to it is good. Rule out a blocked hose or a starved booster first, then look at the piston.
