Warranty & Compatibility

Compatibility Notes

The PB4-60 is the booster pump used with Polaris pressure-side cleaners that require a separate booster pump, such as the Vac-Sweep 280 and 380. It is not needed for cleaners that run without a booster pump. Confirm your cleaner model and that the pool has a dedicated pressure cleaner line before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation involves plumbing to the filtration system return and electrical wiring at 115 V or 230 V. Wire the motor for the supply voltage in use, follow the Polaris installation manual and local electrical codes, and have a qualified technician perform the installation. The booster pump should run only while the main filter pump is running.
