Polaris PB4-60 Booster Pump – Pressure Cleaner Replacement
Keep Your Polaris Cleaner Running at Peak Performance
The Polaris PB4-60 booster pump is the powerhouse behind Polaris pressure-side pool cleaners. Designed for durability, efficiency, and reliable water pressure, this booster pump ensures that your Polaris cleaner — whether it’s a Polaris 280, 380, or 3900 Sport — operates exactly the way it was engineered to.
Without the right booster pump, pressure-side cleaners can’t deliver the scrubbing, vacuuming, and debris removal performance they’re known for. That’s why the Polaris PB4-60 remains the industry standard for pool professionals, homeowners, and commercial operators who expect clear, sparkling water with less effort.
