Confirm your pump manufacture date before ordering. Pentair identifies old-style clamps and lids before November 1998, a transition clamp through December 17, 1999, and later Cam & Ramp hardware. For pumps built before November 1998, Pentair specifies conversion kit 357149 when replacing items 9, 10 or 18. Seal-plate gaskets also have a separate 2008 revision.

Polaris PB4-60: identify your versionDiagrams and parts

POLARIS BOOSTER PUMP REFERENCE

PB4-60 parts by generation

Start with the pump label and matching diagram. A shared model name does not make older and newer parts interchangeable.

Choose a confirmed generation to view its parts. Use the pump label, not the replacement motor label alone. When uncertain, compare the sources below or ask Benchmark to identify the pump.

Identification sources and unresolved matches

The newer Polaris manual H0399500 Rev E applies to PB serial numbers with a manufacture date on or after December 1, 2011. Fluidra's archived 2024 catalog page 352 also lists a newer serial range after PB120111001 or beginning AVEH050100; confirm a complete label against the source rather than inferring a date.

The older catalog page 353 identifies pumps prior to serial M120111001 and shows a threaded-shaft motor. It does not establish fitment for every earlier/keyed-shaft version. A changed motor alone does not identify the pump generation.

GO-KIT87V is NOT recommended automatically: Aladdin's heading says PB4SQ while its model field says PB4-60. Exact pump and kit compatibility need confirmation.

This tool is for part identification, not electrical installation instructions. Use qualified service personnel and the equipment safety manual.

Knowledge Hub

POOL PLANNING TOOLS

Pool calculators

Estimate pool volume, heater time and cost, filter size, turnover flow, pump energy cost, salt, selected chemical amounts, and LSI from your own measurements. Each result states its assumptions and limits; salt and chemical estimates apply only to the named products and conditions below.

1. Pool Heater BTU & Heating Time

Estimate the time to raise pool water from a measured temperature to your target using delivered heater output.

Ideal water-only time. Evaporation, weather, covers, cycling, and heat-pump conditions can change actual time. Enter delivered output, not fuel input.

2. Pool Heater Operating Cost

Estimate natural gas, propane, or electricity cost from heater input, operating hours, and your energy price.

Uses fuel input, not delivered heat. Excludes fixed fees, tiered prices and other loads.

3. Pool Filter Sizing

Compare the flow your pool needs with the published flow rating for the exact filter model you select.

A ceiling comparison only. The model's flow rating alone does not validate plumbing, system flow, filter media, pressure, or suitability.

4. Pool Turnover & Flow Rate

Calculate a target circulation flow from pool gallons and your chosen turnover period.

Theoretical volume equivalents; this does not say that every gallon has passed the filter or prescribe run time.

5. Pool Pump Operating Cost

Estimate single-speed or variable-speed pump energy use and cost from watts and daily run time.

Enter measured or manufacturer documented watts at each actual operating setting. RPM alone does not determine watts. Total daily hours must not exceed 24. Energy cost excludes tiered rates, fees and changing power draw.

6. Pool Volume

Estimate gallons for a rectangular, oval, or round pool using its dimensions and average depth.

Simple geometry and average depth omit steps, benches and irregular contours. Shared volume stays in this browser tab until it is closed.

7. Pool Salt Addition

Estimate ProSoft Pool Salt for a measured salinity increase and your system’s documented target.

Product-specific estimate · ProSoft Pool Salt 40 lb (UPC 041482350023)

Uses the manufacturer’s approximate 40 lb per 480 ppm per 10,000 gallons guide. Target salinity and equipment limits differ by system; retest and follow the manual before adding more. ProSoft 40 lb guide.

8. Pool Chemical Dosage

Estimate amounts for the exact listed GLB and Poolife products using their published rates.

Product-specific estimates · select the exact product

Product amount is separate from retail package size. Follow your exact container directions; do not combine clarifiers. Manufacturer rates: GLB Calcium, GLB clarifiers, Poolife TurboBlu, Poolife Gold Medal. Unlisted products have no calculated amount.

9. Langelier Saturation Index (LSI)

Calculate an approximate water saturation index from measured chemistry and temperature using the cited Pentair table.

Pentair IntelliChlor Plus/LT P/N 523854 Rev B, printed page 9 table method. Nearest printed factor rows; no interpolation or chemical dose. Borate use is held. Read source guide.

How these pool estimates are calculated

These tools use the measurements you enter. They do not choose equipment or a water-treatment target for your pool.

  • Volume: shape area × average water depth × 7.48052 gives approximate US gallons. Steps, benches, and irregular shapes are omitted.
  • Heating time: gallons × 8.34 × temperature rise ÷ delivered BTU per hour gives ideal water-only hours. Weather and heat loss are omitted.
  • Flow: gallons ÷ (chosen hours × 60) gives GPM for that period. Filter sizing compares this figure with the manufacturer rating you provide; it does not validate the full plumbing system.
  • Pump cost: each setting’s watts ÷ 1,000 × daily hours gives kWh per day. The sum is multiplied by operating days and your electricity price.

Fuel cost uses the heater’s input rating and the matching energy unit. Product-specific salt and chemical rates and the LSI table are linked in their calculator notes; verify the exact label or manual before acting on a result.
