Finding the Best Polaris Pool Cleaner Parts: Our Research

Let’s talk replacement parts for Polaris pool cleaners.

These popular robotic pool cleaners are favorites among our parent readers, according to our research. And that popularity is well deserved: the quality of these cleaners is excellent.

Of course, like any automatic cleaner, you need to replace certain parts from time to time. When it comes to Polaris cleaners, that means filter bags, hose tail scrubbers and various valves. 

And as always, this gets down to a basic decision: should you buy the manufacturer’s own replacement parts? Or a third-party replacement part? 

Parts made by the company that makes the cleaner are certainly a safe, if often expensive, bet. From time to time, availability can be an issue, especially for older models.

To the rescue come third-party replacement parts. We asked our readers for their best bets and then did another six hours of research, comparing quality and durability. Our overall conclusion: the parts we recommend below are good quality . . . but always check compatibility with the model you have. 

Here are the best bets:

How We Pick Products To Recommend

We often turn to our readers (3 million strong!) to find products to recommend. We ask our parent readers for their favorites and consider their real-world experiences in our recommendations.

When we test a product, we always purchase it with our own monies. We do not take free samples, as we believe that compromises our independence.

We also fact check manufacturer information with our own measurements. If a maker claims a product weighs X pounds, we will weigh it to make sure. If the battery life is supposed to be six hours, we will see how it stands up in the real world.

In some cases, we will do interviews with experts in the field to get additional feedback on products.

To get hands-on time with products, we regularly meet one-on-one with gear companies and even tour manufacturing facilities. (When we do this, we pay our own travel expenses).

Why Trust Us

We’ve been rating and reviewing products for the home and families since 1994. We do extensive research, evaluating products with an eye toward quality, ease of use and affordability.

We make our living from affiliate commissions, but we always recommend what we think are the best bets for our readers (not the ones that are the most expensive). We are always looking for products that offer the best bang for the buck.

Our independence is a key reason why we have been doing this so long. As we mentioned above, when we purchase a product for hands-on testing, we do so with our own money.

Here’s another key point: we don’t take money from the brands we review. No free samples, no sponsors, no “partnerships.” Our work is 100% reader-supported!
