All-Purpose Zipper Bag for Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Pool Cleaner
Product Overview
A proven choice for Polaris 280 owners who need a reliable debris collection system that handles everything from fine silt to large leaves.
The Polaris K13 All-Purpose Zipper Bag is the standard specification for the Vac-Sweep 280, designed to trap a wide range of debris without restricting water flow. In our experience, the zipper closure provides a more secure seal than velcro alternatives, ensuring that captured sand and leaves stay inside the bag during the cleaning cycle. This genuine Polaris part is built with a specific mesh density that balances filtration with the hydraulic requirements of the 280's venturi system.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
K13 Mesh Specification
This all-purpose mesh is engineered to capture both large leaves and smaller particles like sand or silt, keeping them out of your pool's main filter system.
Heavy-Duty Zipper Closure
Unlike hook-and-loop fasteners that can clog with hair and debris over time, the K13 zipper maintains a tight seal for more reliable debris retention.
Optimized Flow Dynamics
Designed specifically for the Polaris 280, the bag's shape and material ensure the cleaner maintains proper vacuum suction and balance while moving across the pool floor.
Compatibility
- Exclusively for Polaris Vac-Sweep 280
- Not compatible with Polaris 360 or 380 models
- Fits standard Polaris 280 bag neck connectors
When To Use This
Pro Tip
To extend the life of your K13 bag, always rinse it with fresh water after emptying to remove chlorine and minerals that can cause the mesh to become brittle over time.
Common Questions & Instructions
How often should I replace my Polaris 280 zipper bag?
Most pool owners find that a K13 bag lasts between 16 to 24 weeks depending on the debris load and UV exposure. We recommend replacing it immediately if you notice any thinning of the mesh or if the zipper begins to stick, as this can lead to debris escaping back into the pool.
What are the signs that my Polaris K13 bag needs to be swapped out?
You should look for visible tears in the mesh, fraying around the plastic neck, or a zipper that no longer closes fully. If the cleaner is moving slower than usual despite a clean bag, the mesh may be blinded by fine oils and minerals, indicating it is time for a fresh one.
How many Polaris 280 bags should I keep on hand for a typical season?
For a standard residential pool, we suggest stocking two bags per season. Having a spare allows you to swap in a clean, dry bag immediately while you empty and rinse the old one, extending the life of the material and ensuring the cleaner is always ready.
