Description

The Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Black Max is a high-performance pressure-side pool cleaner designed for in-ground swimming pools. It uses a dedicated pressure line and booster pump to sweep, scrub and vacuum the pool floor, walls and steps in approximately three hours or less. The “Black Max” version features a black finish that blends seamlessly with darker pool surfaces.

Compatibility & Fitment

Designed for in-ground pools of all surface types: concrete, vinyl, fiberglass, plaster and tile.
Requires a dedicated 1½″ return pressure line and a compatible separate booster pump to supply pressure flow.
Suitable for pool sizes typical of the model range; verify booster pump sizing and return line plumbing before installation.
Not intended for above-ground pools unless explicitly configured for such use.

Features & Specifications

Dual jet suction head provides greater vacuum power and faster cleaning cycles.
Includes a large capacity debris bag to capture leaves, acorns, pebbles and other large particles, reducing strain on the main skimmer/pump basket.
Black Max styling for dark-bottom pools and aesthetic match in modern pool finishes.
Standard undervent drive tracks along pool surfaces and climbs walls effectively when properly installed.

Installation Notes

Install the dedicated pressure line and booster pump to meet Polaris specifications. Connect the F5B cleaner to the return line and set the hose bag to the correct length so the vehicle sweeps the entire pool without being overly constrained. Ensure the booster pump is sized appropriately for the pool plumbing and cleaner hose length. After installation, run the cleaner and observe that it covers the entire pool floor and climbs the walls as designed before handing it off to the customer.

Maintenance Tip

At the beginning of each season inspect the sweep hose, debris bag and tires for wear, debris rotation and track integrity. Empty the debris bag regularly; rinse the cleaner and hose after heavy use or leaf load. Replace worn tires, drive belts or hose segments to maintain optimal coverage and cleaning efficiency.
