Top 4 Reasons Your Polaris 280 is Moving Slowly

Have you noticed your Polaris 280 Pool Cleaner is moving slower than normal and not doing as good a job as it once did? Below are the top four reasons that cause this problem.

1 - Lack of Pressure - typically caused by a dirty pool filter, the first step in troubleshooting is to make sure there is enough pressure getting to the cleaner.

2 - Wheels Not Engaging Gears - the polaris 280 wheels have gears on the inside that engage the drive turbine. When these teeth wear down or break they will no longer engage the gears properly.

3 - Bad Wheel Bearings - if the polaris 280 wheel bearings fall apart, the wheels will stick or not move.

4 - Leaky or Malfunctioning Backup Valve - as the polaris 280 backup valve gets older it will develop cracks that leak and reduce the water pressure that reach the cleaner.
