Product details

The Polaris C17 is the small black idler wheel for the Polaris 280 Black Max pressure side pool cleaner. It is the genuine Polaris part.

What the idler does

The 280 drives itself around the pool on its wheels, and the small idler rides along to keep the cleaner steady on its path. When it cracks, wears flat, or seizes on its axle, the cleaner starts dragging to one side, wanders off its pattern, and leaves whole sections of floor untouched.

While the wheel is off

Look at the hardware behind it. The wheel screw, the wheel washer and the ball bearings all wear on the same schedule as the wheel and are ordered separately. Replacing a wheel onto tired bearings usually means going back in a season later.

Questions and answers

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

Is this the small wheel or a large one?
The small idler wheel. The large wheels are separate Polaris parts, so count the wheel positions on your cleaner before ordering.
Does it come with bearings and a screw?
No. The wheel is supplied on its own. The wheel screw, wheel washer and ball bearings are separate Polaris parts and are worth checking while the wheel is off.
Which cleaner does it fit?
It is listed as the small idler wheel for the Polaris 280 Black Max.
When should I replace it?
When the wheel is cracked, worn flat on one side, or no longer spins freely. A dragging idler pulls the cleaner off its pattern.
