I'm one! lol store 21 or whatever and 30 something and then got shit canned by Dusty over the phone when he was taking a shit.. lmao..

280 is the way to go vs that belt driven crap

21 at Spring Valley and Coit and 392 at Pleasant Valley and 190. I really wish I could forget stuff like that.

I agree that if he has a booster pump he should stay with a pressure side cleaner (not Kreepy, etc.).

There seem to be quite a few former employees on here.

Good idea for them, everyone I dealt with loved the 280, but hated the 380.

My 3900 sport needs a rebuild already!!! I think I am done with the piece of shit.

Any ideas? Legend, 280 or a kreepy krauly?

When I bought my house it had a 3900 that was all kinds of messed up. I busted out a screw driver and took it apart. It cost me around 80.00 and now it runs like new. This thing is bad ass. I also had to clean out the jets on it with a small pin needle. These things are like a RC car. Mine needed a gear set, three bearings, a couple of o-rings, and some some of the hose pieces fixed.

This is a nice kit also. Next time mine dies I am going with it and keeping the old parts for spares.

He has a pressure side cleaner and needs to stick with that style.

I own a pool service company and really like Polaris products. What is your beef with them?

doesnt know how they work, obvoiusly.


a full rebuild should be as good or better than new. If there was slack due to not replacing worn parts, you'll wear the others out quicker.

I usedto be a pool serviceman. I fucking hate Polaris with a passion (and Jandy). Get a kreppy krauly or a barracuda.

I recommend and install 280s or the Letro legend.

Stick with the older designs and only run it a little over an hour each day to get the most life out of them.

I should retract my previous statement, it is chain driven, as opposed to rubber bands.

I was around 98-02.

The 480 is gear driven, basically its the re design of the 280.

2003 - 2006, then went to Dolphin in 2007, and California in 2008.


The 280 is a "beast" as many customer described it. It's gear driven, not belt driven like the 380. The 480 came out after I left the business so I'm not sure how it works. No Polaris I saw picked up the smaller silt type debris all that well, but maybe the 480 is good? The bags are not interchangeable on Polaris models. Although there was an adapter floating around to convert the velcro 180 bag to the clips on the 280 bag.

I switch from the Polaris to the Letro Legend II. Very happy with over the Polaris360.
