The Polaris 280 is the latest version of the original Polaris 180, which truly popularized automatic pool cleaners decades ago. Like any improved version of a popular product, it's subtle modifications only make the classic Polaris even better, and more popular. And like the other robotic pool cleaners, it cleans virtually any surfaced pool (vinyl-lined, gunite, concrete, pebble tech, fiberglass, etc.) and provides full pool coverage, INCLUDING WALLS. 

Unprecedented power, thanks to its own booster pump, which can be purchased with the 280 or separately, this has long been the pressure cleaner of choice for many of the country's top pool builders. It reduces electricity, chemical and pool maintenance costs. This durable underwater creature is built to last and is virtually Maintenance-Free.
