Polaris Backup Valve Kit W7230308, Genuine for 180/280/380/480/3900S

Genuine Polaris backup valve kit

Restore the backup action on your Polaris pressure cleaner with this genuine Polaris backup valve kit. Fitted to the leader hose, the valve helps pull the cleaner away from pool obstacles and changes its cleaning path.

Compatibility

Listed for Polaris 180, 280, 380, 480 and 3900S pressure cleaners. Check your cleaner model and existing valve before ordering.

How to check the backup valve

Lift the valve out of the water. The existing listing says it should enter backup mode approximately every 3 minutes, with water thrusting out of the valve.

Replacement notes

The existing hose nuts can be unscrewed from both sides of the old valve and fitted to the replacement valve, then secured to the hose. If you only need the internal mechanism, that is a separate repair option.
