Product details

The Polaris C80 is the genuine turbine ball bearing for the Polaris 180 and Polaris 280 pressure side cleaners. It is the bearing that holds the turbine drive shaft. Polaris also lists it as C-80 and PVC80. It is sold each.

Why it matters

Everything the cleaner does starts at the turbine. Water pressure spins it, the drive shaft carries that motion into the gearbox, and the wheels do the rest. The turbine bearings are what let the shaft turn without friction, and once they wear the whole chain gets sluggish.

The symptom

A Polaris that has noticeably slowed down is the classic case. Before assuming the wall fitting, the hose or the booster pump is to blame, pull the turbine and check these bearings and the drive shaft. They are inexpensive, and replacing both at once usually brings the cleaner back up to pace.

Questions and answers

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

What does this bearing do?
It holds the turbine drive shaft on the Polaris 180 and 280 cleaners, so the turbine can spin freely and drive the gearbox.
My Polaris is running slow. Is this the problem?
It is a good place to start. A worn turbine bearing drags on the shaft and robs the cleaner of speed. Check the turbine drive shaft itself at the same time.
How many come in the pack?
It is sold each, so order per bearing.
Are C-80 and PVC80 the same part?
Yes. Polaris lists this bearing under C80, C-80 and PVC80.
