This one year limited warranty is extended to the original consumer purchaser of this Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Automatic Pool Cleaner manufactured by Zodiac Pool Care, Inc., from date of manufacture of the unit as established by the serial number, or one year from date of purchase with proof of purchase, whichever is later.

Normal replacement items such as bags, tires, sweep hoses or sweep hose scrubbers which have been worn out by use or improper installation are not covered by this warranty. The Polaris 280 frame is warranted for a period of five years.

This limited warranty does not apply if the failure is caused or contributed to by any of the following: improper handling, improper usage, improper storage, winter freezing, abuse, improper installation, removal of the in-line filter screen, unsuitable application of the unit, improper maintenance, lack of reasonable and necessary maintenance, damage in transit or during installation, or damage from repairs/alterations made or attempted by anyone other than Zodiac or one of its Authorized Service Centers. In no event shall Zodiac be liable for incidental or consequential damages of any nature or for damages to persons or property, including damage to vinyl liners, plaster, tile, aggregate-based and other pool surfaces, or damages resulting from the use of this product with a substandard pool circulation system or chemical imbalance.

Authorization to return a unit or part to the plant of manufacture must be obtained from the Zodiac Customer Service Department.

Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Automatic Pool Cleaners sold in the United Kingdom are warranted for a period of two years from date of invoicing to the first user.

WARNING: USE OF POLARIS 280 IN A VINYL LINER POOL

Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by objects coming

into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool

cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush.

Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool.

Zodiac is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

280 specifications

The Polaris 280 is a highly regarded robotic pool cleaner engineered for efficiency and performance. Its innovative design makes it a popular choice among pool owners seeking a reliable cleaning solution. The Polaris 280 operates with a unique yet effective pressure-side cleaning system that utilizes the force of water to capture dirt, debris, and leaves from all surfaces of your pool, including the floor and walls.

One of the standout features of the Polaris 280 is its dual drive jet system, which powers its agile movement throughout the pool. This feature allows the unit to cover a large area quickly and efficiently, ensuring that the entire pool is clean in no time. The robust construction of the Polaris 280 is another highlight; it boasts a durable body designed to withstand harsh pool conditions, including exposure to chemicals and varying water temperatures.

The Polaris 280 is equipped with a powerful, high-efficiency filter bag that captures fine debris and dirt particles. The filter bag is easy to access and clean, promoting convenient maintenance and optimal performance. The model also features a 31-foot hose, which provides ample reach for most pool sizes, minimizing the need for additional extensions or adjustments.

Another significant characteristic of the Polaris 280 is its use of advanced technology to enhance its cleaning capabilities. The cleaner employs a patented back-up valve that allows it to reverse direction when encountering obstacles. This functionality minimizes stuck situations, ensuring uninterrupted cleaning and efficient navigation throughout the pool.

The Polaris 280 operates independently of the pool’s filtration system, allowing for significant water circulation and improving overall water quality. As a result, users can enjoy a cleaner swimming environment with less manual effort in maintaining pool hygiene.

Additionally, its easy installation process means that pool owners can set it up without requiring professional assistance. The Polaris 280 has also gained recognition for its reliability and effectiveness, with many satisfied users praising its performance and longevity.

In conclusion, the Polaris 280 is a powerful robotic pool cleaner combining advanced features, durable construction, and user-friendly operation. Its ability to efficiently clear debris while improving overall pool circulation makes it a top choice for pool maintenance enthusiasts. Whether you have an inground or above-ground pool, the Polaris 280 delivers a comprehensive cleaning experience tailored to meet your needs.
