Product Overview

The Polaris Vac-Sweep 380 In-Ground Pool Cleaner | PLSF3 is a powerful pressure-side cleaner designed to sweep, scrub, and vacuum in-ground swimming pools. Powered by three Venturi jets and an all-wheel belt-drive system, the Vac-Sweep 380 delivers strong vacuum performance and complete pool coverage in approximately three hours or less.

The cleaner includes a 31-foot feed hose and single-chamber zippered debris bag that captures leaves, acorns, pebbles, and other debris before it reaches the pool pump basket or filtration system. A separate booster pump is required for operation.

Key Features

Triple-Jet Cleaning Power

Three Venturi jets generate powerful vacuum action for faster pickup of both small and large debris.

All-Wheel Belt Drive

The proven all-wheel belt-drive system provides dependable movement and traction while the cleaner travels across the pool.

Sweeps, Scrubs & Vacuums

Designed to clean the pool floor, walls, coves, and other accessible areas while its sweep hose helps loosen debris from surfaces.

Single-Chamber Zipper Bag

The removable debris bag captures debris before it enters the pool's main filtration system, helping reduce the amount of material reaching the pump basket and filter.

Automatic Backup

An automatic backup valve periodically redirects the cleaner to help free it from corners and obstacles and improve overall pool coverage.
