Product Overview

When a pressure cleaner starts tilting on its side or flipping over, pool techs replace the head float first to restore balance.

The genuine Polaris A20 White Float Head provides critical buoyancy for pressure-side pool cleaners, including the Polaris Vac-Sweep 280, TR28P, and TankTrax models. Over time, plastic floats can crack or take on water, causing the cleaner to drag or flip onto its side. This OEM replacement restores proper upright tracking and stable floor-to-wall transitions across the cleaning cycle.

Pro Tip

If your cleaner is still running on its side after installing a new A20 float, check your thrust jet angle and verify the sweep hose tail scrubber is not missing or waterlogged.

Common Questions & Instructions

How do I know if my Polaris cleaner float head needs to be replaced?

Shake the float after taking it out of the pool; if you hear or feel water sloshing inside, the internal chamber is breached and the part must be replaced to prevent cleaner tipping.

Is the Polaris A20 float head compatible with the TR28P cleaner?

Yes, the Polaris A20 is the factory standard float head for the Polaris Vac-Sweep 280, TR28P, 380, and TankTrax pressure cleaners.

Can I replace the Polaris float head myself without professional tools?

Installation is completely DIY-friendly; simply unthread the old waterlogged float from the rear mast/pipe and hand-tighten the new A20 float in its place.
