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.
