- Title: Polaris 280 Pressure Relief Valve Replacement
Published: 10/20/2022
Thank you for checking out our video.
In this quick video, we’ll show you how to replace the pressure relief valve on your Polaris 280 pool cleaner.
Like most of our mechanical devices, your pool cleaner will require periodic adjustments, routine maintenance, and the replacement of certain parts. Anyone that has one of these cleaners probably already knows what a workhorse it is.
We run ours twice a day and it does an excellent job of keeping much of the debris picked up. Depending on the size of your pool and surrounding conditions, you should adjust your pool cleaner accordingly.
One thing that I strongly recommend is to keep a small bin or container of minor spare parts on hand. The cost won’t be too high and when a minor part breaks or needs replacing on your pool cleaner, you’ll be ready to replace it, and will be able to keep your pool crystal clean and ready to use.
Some replacement parts are expensive so it might be challenging to keep them on hand but most of the components can be purchased online and you’ll be able to get them pretty fast. You can check out our Amazon links below or go to our Amazon store for a more detailed list of parts for pool cleaners.

Thanks for the video. I didn't have the handy universal removal tool or pool/spa lube, so used a pipe wrench and mineral oil instead. My Polaris is back up and running!
That works sir.
At times you make do with what you!

Very helpful video, Thanks.

Thanks. Your video helped me out. I commend your professional lingo. Universal removal tool ….. not pliers. Pool lube ….. not silicone. Nice.

New subscriber here. Glad I found you.
I'll try the lube on the relief valve but so far when the (relatively new) valve is screwed down tight it seems to shoot water out the circumference of the round black top part that you replaced in this video. The water flows like a fountain about 9 inches high, up the side tiles and onto the walkway.
I unscrewed the valve to relieve some of the pressure and it yields a more manageable flowing fountain -- away from the tiles and walkway. But it's still not the way it used to be. There was never a flowing fountain issue.
The problem may stem from this:
I just replaced my 12-year-old PB4-60 pump with a brand-new one a few days ago. I was surprised to find that it sounds louder than the old one when the old one was in good working condition.
However, when I run the Polaris 280 it tames the sound back down to normal levels.
I'm wondering if the new (unusually loud) PB4-60 has something to do with the gushing pressure relief valve?
Sometimes pool problems are all connected, and other times they are just separate issues.
1. I'll try the pool Magic Lube on the relief valve as shown in this video.
2. If that fails I'll buy a new one to see if that does any good.
The old pump suddenly got loud one day, that's why I replaced it. I doubt it was a broken or clogged impeller. Instead of doing the necessary detective work to try to repair it, I decided to buy a new one since it was so old. I'll do an autopsy to find out.
The troubling thing is this new PB4-60 is making the same loud sound -- like water is gushing through it. So the new PB4-60 purchase may not have been necessary. The problem may lie somewhere else.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you for your vlog.
If you have a filter at the wall connection, make sure it’s clean. You may also need to install one of the red or blue restrictor plates in the back of the wall connection since you have a new pump. We have also seen brand new valve be faulty.

Hi! Thanks for putting out these videos. I just watched one on pressure relief valve repair. I have a P-3900 sport cleaner, and the pressure relief valve continually sprays water around the little black circle in the cap, not around the threads. Are they supposed to do that, or is it defective? Thanks for any help!
Do you have restriction disc in the connection? Sounds like your positive pressure may be to high..

I have the same model and same problem and my Polaris is not running like it usually does or is supposed to. did you get yours figured out?
Thank you for the info. I have a similar problem but my relief valve is in tact. I even replaced the entire pressure valve yet I am still getting water coming out the valve and my Polaris 3900 is very slow or not moving. I also made sure that there is a restrictor disk in the wall connection. its a blue one. What would be the next thing to check please?
You might try the red restrictor disk. Do you have an inline filter or wall filter at the connector to the wall? You might check and make sure it’s not dirty or clogged. We’ve also seen some pumps that have speed controls.

Like yours, when I try to disconnect my polaris from the wall I have to unscrew the entire piece that goes into the wall but then I cannot get the polaris to unscrew from the wall fitting. What do I need to do to get it to unscrew completely? Also the black knob portion is leaking water. Do I need to replace it? We just got our pool a few months ago so would parts need to be replaced already?
If it’s chlorine that’s likely why. Over time the plastic swells. The best thing I’ve found if the entire thing unscrews, take large channel locks and/or strap wrench to separate the pieces. Or you may just need to order replacement parts for all three items. Quick disconnect, the threaded part that screws into the wall and the part you mentioned which is a pressure valve. Replacement parts are fairly inexpensive on AMAZON.
Kudos to you for working on your own pool! ⭐️

Conversely, you can get a standard PVC 1" male threaded plug at any home improvement store.
About $1.50.
I keep 2 or 3 on my truck. So quick, easy and cheap, I don't even charge my customers.
Good to know, but I’m not sure a plug is what is needed in this application. However, I’m open minded these days, so I’m interested.
@@diycollaborative Understood, certainly!
But as all of us in the trade, we are products of our own training and experiences.
The pressure relief valve on the wall fitting is a throwback to the early days of Polaris cleaners. Very conservatively, I have worked at least a thousand cleaners in the past 28 years.
I just haven't seen the purpose of the overpressure valve, other than they get brittle and break and you have to buy a new one. The wall fitting has a restrictor behind it already, usually blue, sometimes red if more restriction is needed.
The pressure relief valve is the "appendix" of the Polaris system.
A standard 1" PVC male threaded plug is a direct replacement, and.... they don't break. Been using them for years!
@@mayorb3366 The next one I need to replace, I will give this a try. Thanks for the information and for sharing. I often learn I’m never too old to learn and try something new. 😎
No doubt, myself also!
Especially now that I'm significantly older than most pool techs, any tips/suggestions that can save me time, effort, or money is greatly welcomed!@@diycollaborative
I just replaced the whole unit where the pressure relief found those into the wall of the pool and I noticed the next day that the water was just bubbling out of where the pressure relief valve was. The pressure relief valve looks good but water just keeps flowing and bubbling up. What do you thinks up with this? Thank you.
Do you have the red or blue restrictor installed? It goes in behind the wall connection.
Where do you find that Universal Removal Tool? I'd like to get one. Thank you!

The Universal Removal tool I didn't see it in the products you listed ....can you tell me which one it is
Try this: amzn.to/3MNgHxk
I just bought a new pressure relief valve and there’s too much pressure that’s it’s making the pool cloudy from the pressure because of the air it’s making. I remember my pool guy removing something out of the valve to relieve the presssure but I can’t reach him. Do you have any suggestions
Where the connection to the wall is, there may be a restrictor plate. Red or blue on most pools. Those can be changed. Also on the pressure relief valve, it can be adjusted by turning the nut in or out to change the flow. I’m curious if you have a DE filter. I’ve seen the pool get cloudy when a grid in the filter is leaking or damaged. Hope this helps.
is there another tool that could be used that is readily available other than the universal removal tool ? Thank you
We use Channel Locks at times.
@@diycollaborative thank you
4:15 you got it loose enough to finish by hand my dude. Also, would channel locks work to crack it loose?
You bet, just don’t crack the plastic. I’ve used them and wrapped with electrical tape on the jaws.
Ummm... How did you disconnect it from the wall? That's the hard part.
Howdy, on this model you have to push inward while turning counter clockwise. They can be very difficult to remove from the wall connection.
