After my generic booster pump died, I decided to go with a reputable brand and purchased the Polaris. Everything needed for the installation came with the pump, and after checking out installation videos on YouTube I had it up and running in no time. The difference in quality (to my old pump) was apparent immediately as the Polaris ran much cooler and was more quiet. It’s been several weeks now, and the pump is working great!

This pump work WHEN it works. It grossly overheats even with a fan blowing on it! Any engineer (like me) can design a continuous running pump that does not do this. This design has a design fault with heat. It can be redesigned to prevent such. It seems to make no difference if the turbine has water or not. The pump is wired correct as i am also an electrician. The phase, neutral, and ground are correct. I am installing a timer to limit it’s operational time between midnight and 6 a.m.

Equivalent to the pump I replaced. Did notice some improvements. Installation was a breeze. Low noise. Pool cleaner back in action. Installation kit had everything needed. Well packaged for shipment.

Pump works perfectly. My neighbors really appreciate no more awful screeching of bad bearings and seals. And my polaris 280 is back to climbing walls and zipping across the pool.
For those who are connecting the suction and discharge outlets with hard piping, the new pump sits about 1/2″ lower than my original pump (which was 17 years old, nice run). So you may have to add some additional fittings if you don’t switch to the pvc tubing.
All of the electrical connections were the same as the original pump so really easy to unplug the power leads and re-install on the new pump.
Cost of the new unit was not much than a rebuild so decision was easy to go with new. Glad I did.

I was a little concerned with I seen that the pump was smaller than the one I replaced. But after I turned it on my worries vanished. It was actually stronger than the old pump!
It ran a little hot and made a little noise the first day but after that it ran at normal heat and made hardly any noise at all.
