Polaris Tail Wear Ring B10 – OEM Sweep Hose Protector for Polaris Cleaners
Protect Your Pool and Extend Cleaner Life
The Polaris Tail Wear Ring B10 is a small but critical OEM part that plays a big role in protecting both your Polaris pool cleaner and your pool’s surfaces. Designed to fit snugly on the end of the sweep hose, the wear ring reduces friction, prevents hose damage, and keeps your cleaner gliding smoothly. Over time, the constant motion of the sweep hose can cause wear on your pool plaster, vinyl, or fiberglass. By replacing worn or missing wear rings, you preserve your cleaner’s performance and protect your pool finish.
For just a few dollars, this genuine Polaris B10 wear ring provides years of protection and helps your sweep hose do its job—scrubbing, agitating, and loosening dirt and debris for easier pickup.
Why the B10 Wear Ring Matters
The sweep hose is designed to whip gently across the pool floor and walls, stirring up debris so your cleaner can vacuum it away. But without a wear ring, the hose tip can:
-
Scratch or scuff pool surfaces
-
Wear out prematurely from friction
-
Lose effectiveness in loosening dirt and algae
-
Cause higher replacement costs for hoses or surface repairs
The Polaris B10 wear ring is the simple, OEM-approved solution to prevent unnecessary damage. It’s engineered for durability, easy installation, and exact compatibility with Polaris cleaners.
Compatible Polaris Models
The B10 Tail Wear Ring works with multiple Polaris pressure-side cleaners, including:
-
Polaris 180
-
Polaris 280
-
Polaris 360
-
Polaris 380
If you own one of these cleaners, the B10 is the factory-specified replacement to keep your sweep hose working efficiently and safely.
Signs You Need a New Wear Ring
Because of its constant contact with pool surfaces, the wear ring naturally experiences wear and tear. It’s a good idea to inspect your sweep hose regularly. Replace the B10 wear ring if you notice:
-
Cracks or splits in the plastic
-
A loose or missing fit on the sweep hose tip
-
Excessive scuffing on your pool surfaces
-
Fraying or damage to the sweep hose itself
Replacing a worn ring is inexpensive and takes just minutes, yet it can save hundreds in potential repairs.
Quick and Simple Installation
Installing the Polaris Tail Wear Ring B10 couldn’t be easier. Simply:
-
Turn off your cleaner and remove it from the pool.
-
Detach the sweep hose from the cleaner body if needed.
-
Slide the new wear ring onto the hose tip until it fits securely in place.
-
Return the cleaner to the pool and resume operation.
No tools required, no complicated process—just a straightforward, DIY-friendly replacement part.
