Polaris K13 All-Purpose Zipper Bag — Replacement Debris Bag for Polaris 280 / 480 Pool Cleaners

The Polaris K13 is a genuine replacement zipper-closure debris bag designed for Polaris pressure-side vac-sweep pool cleaners (such as the 280 series and 480-compatible units). It captures leaves, twigs, sand, and other common pool debris — helping keep water clear and reducing strain on your filter and pump.

• Wide mesh filtration — suitable for leaf-heavy conditions and standard pool debris loads.
• Easy install and removal — snaps into place on compatible Polaris pool cleaners for quick debris disposal.
• Compatible with Polaris pressure-side vac-sweep models such as 280 and 480.

When to Replace

Replace the K13 bag when the mesh begins to tear, the zipper fails to close fully, or if the bag shows signs of significant wear — such as fraying, holes, or persistent debris bypass — which reduce debris retention and cleaning effectiveness.

Maintenance Tips

• Rinse bag thoroughly after each cleaning cycle to remove trapped debris and sand.
• Allow bag to air-dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
• Inspect zipper and mesh regularly; gently clean the zipper teeth to avoid clogging with sand or grit which can hamper closure.
• Rotate with a spare bag if possible — having an extra on-hand makes maintenance easier after heavy leaf or debris seasons.
