Gold Lock Washer for Polaris® Pool Cleaner 5/pk
Product Overview
The standard specification for securing internal components in Polaris pressure-side cleaners, preventing vibration-induced loosening.
This 5-pack of genuine Polaris Gold Lock Washers is a proven choice for maintaining the structural integrity of Vac-Sweep models. Unlike generic hardware, these factory-spec washers are designed to withstand the constant vibration and chemical exposure inside a pressure-side cleaner housing. We recommend these for any rebuild of a Polaris 180, 280, or 380 to ensure screws remain seated during high-pressure operation.
Benefits & What Makes It Different

Corrosion-Resistant Finish
The gold-colored coating is specifically designed for submerged use in chlorinated or saltwater environments to prevent seizing.
OEM Compatibility

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Pool techs across DFW stock these because they are easy to lose during a field repair; always keep a 5-pack on hand so you don't have to reuse a flattened, worn-out washer that won't hold tension.
Common Questions & Instructions
How often should I replace the lock washers on my Polaris cleaner?
While not a wear item like tires, these should be replaced whenever you disassemble the cleaner for a rebuild or if you notice screws frequently backing out. Over time, the metal can lose its spring tension, reducing its effectiveness at locking.
Can I use a standard stainless steel washer from a hardware store?
Generic washers often lack the specific 'gold' plating and tension rating required for Polaris cleaners. Using non-OEM hardware can lead to galvanic corrosion or components vibrating loose, which may damage the internal drive mechanism.
Which Polaris models are these gold lock washers compatible with?
These are the standard specification for most Polaris pressure-side cleaners, including the 180, 280, 360, and 380 models. They are typically used to secure the frame and internal components to the housing.
