Polaris K30 Feed Pipe Assembly with Elbow – For Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 / 280 TankTrax
The Polaris K30 is a replacement feed pipe assembly with elbow for the Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 and Polaris 280 TankTrax pressure-side pool cleaners. This is the rigid pipe section on the cleaner body that delivers pressurized water to the jets and helps maintain proper thrust and performance. Replace it when the pipe is cracked, worn, leaking, or when the elbow/connection area becomes loose or damaged.
Key Features
- Part Number: K30
- Part Type: Cleaner feed pipe assembly with elbow
- Cleaner Compatibility: Polaris Vac-Sweep 280, Polaris 280 TankTrax
- Function: Routes pressurized water into the cleaner body for propulsion and cleaning action
- OEM Fit: Designed to match original factory feed pipe geometry and connection points
Common Signs It’s Time to Replace
- Visible cracks, splits, or leaks at the feed pipe or elbow
- Cleaner movement is weaker than normal (after confirming booster pump pressure and clean filter screen)
- Loose or unstable connection at the elbow that won’t stay tight
- Jet performance seems inconsistent due to water loss at the pipe assembly
Installation Notes
- Turn off the booster pump before servicing the cleaner.
- Remove the cleaner from the pool, disassemble the damaged feed pipe, and install the new K30 in the same orientation.
- Inspect adjacent wear items while you’re in the area (jets, fittings, clamps, and seals as applicable).
- After reassembly, restart the system and confirm strong, consistent cleaner movement and no leaks at the elbow.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Keep the cleaner’s wall fitting screen/filter clean to reduce debris damage and maintain strong pressure.
- If feed pipe damage keeps recurring, verify hose length, floats, and that the cleaner isn’t getting stuck or forced against obstacles.
- Confirm proper booster pump pressure and correct jet/eyeball settings—excessive pressure can accelerate wear on fittings.
- Rinse the cleaner after heavy debris events to reduce grit wear in moving and pressurized components.
