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.

31-Foot Feed Hose Included: Includes a 31-foot floating feed hose for use with compatible residential in-ground pools.
