If you have a Polaris swimming pool cleaner and need replacement parts for it, you’ll need to know which model you have. Polaris has quite a few swimming pool cleaners on the market which makes this difficult for some. This guide will help you figure out which model Polaris swimming pool cleaner you have.

I have a unit that starts with "K", which you suggest is a 380. However, it only has 2 venturi jets (not 3) and the filter bag connector collar has the oval tabs which suggests a 280. The 380 collar is also a smaller diameter. So it would seem that not all models are so simply identified by that first letter.Reply

If you have the serial number, you can contact the manufacturer to have them identify your unit using it.This guide is a few years old; Polaris may have changed its serial number formats since it was published. But contact Polaris to let us know if your unit has different identifiers now.Reply

Thank you. This was the most informative tool I have found to identify my Polaris cleaner. All my labels have faded away and was only left with the jets and the clips used to hold the bags on to help me identify.Reply

I currently have a Polaris 180. What newer models are compatible with that booster pump?Reply
InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S. Posted: 6/6/2019
Besides the 180, the 280, 380 and 480 were compatible with the Polaris Booster PumpReply

Hello Lola - The Polaris 9650iQ does not require a booster pump.Reply

Does the 9650iQ require a booster pump?Reply
InyoPools Posted: 8/21/2018
The 9650IQ and 965IG can be connect to Wi-Fi and be controlled on Android and iOS devices. The only difference between those two models is the color. The 9550 does not connect to Wi-Fi and cannot be controlled by an Android or iOS device. The 9550 is controlled by a motion-sensing handheld remote.Reply

What is the difference between the Polaris models 9550 Sport, 9650iq Sport, and the 965iq Sport?Reply

Adam from NJ - We have several guides on replacing Dolphin brushes and tracks, but can’t help much without knowing your Dolphin model. Try typing "How to replace 'YOUR MODEL' track" and see if anything comes up.Reply

Hello Friends ! I have an older Dolphin Pool Cleaner that is a work horse . We call it " Mr. Krabs " The other day a roller popped off and was in the deep end (of course) I need to get "Krabbsie" working again ASAP. Need some advice on replacing the roller and then the tracks. I would be forever grateful for any help anyone can offer. The guide on this site was for a newer model and I'm not sure if the roller/track/outer case would have the same protocol. Thank You in advance for being our hero !!!!!!Reply

Werthit - Your number, 278696, does not match anything in our system. Please give us a call at 877-372-6038 and talk to one of our service reps. They will ask you to send in a picture of your cleaner.Reply

Peter - The date of manufacture is usually coded into the unique serial number of any item. Call Polaris/Zodiac at (800) 822-7933, give them the cleaner's serial number, and they should be able to tell you the age of your unit.Reply
Peter Posted: 8/28/2016
Is there a way to tell the age of a polaris pool cleaner?Reply
InyoPools Product Specialist Dennis R. Posted: 7/19/2016
Tommy - A serial number is a unique number assigned to each unit manufactured by Polaris. You will have to talk to Polaris at (800) 822-7933 for information on this number.Reply
Tommy Posted: 7/17/2016

I agree with the previous commenters. There was no model number on my Polaris and the stamped-on serial number did not start with a letter. Yet, thanks to the clear instructions, I was able to discern that mine was a model 280. Fantastic site. Thanks many times over.Wallace, Virginia Beach VA
