Polaris C131 Thrust Jet Kit – Directional Flow Replacement for 180/280/380
Directional water flow is a key factor in how pressure-side pool cleaners move, turn, and cover the pool efficiently. The Polaris C131 Thrust Jet Kit is a genuine OEM replacement designed to restore proper propulsion and steering on Polaris pressure-side pool cleaners. When the thrust jet becomes worn, clogged, or damaged, the cleaner may travel in tight circles, fail to climb walls, or struggle to maintain consistent coverage.
This thrust jet controls the direction and force of water exiting the cleaner, directly influencing movement patterns. Replacing a worn thrust jet helps rebalance water flow and restores the cleaner’s ability to navigate the pool properly.
The Polaris C131 is commonly replaced during routine maintenance or when troubleshooting poor cleaner movement.
Restores Proper Cleaner Steering and Coverage
The thrust jet determines how water pressure translates into forward motion and directional control. A compromised jet can cause erratic movement or inefficient cleaning paths.
The Polaris C131 thrust jet kit restores proper directional flow, helping the cleaner move smoothly, turn correctly, and cover the entire pool surface more evenly.
Designed for Polaris Pressure-Side Cleaners
This thrust jet kit is manufactured to Polaris OEM specifications for use with compatible Polaris pressure-side cleaner models. Proper sizing and fit ensure correct water flow angles and reliable performance.
Using the correct OEM thrust jet helps prevent over-rotation, stalling, or uneven wear on internal components.
Durable Construction for Continuous Water Exposure
Thrust jets are constantly exposed to pressurized water and pool chemicals. The Polaris C131 is built from durable materials designed to resist wear, clogging, and deformation over time.
Its construction supports consistent performance through repeated cleaning cycles and seasonal operation.
Why Replacing the Thrust Jet Matters
Directional flow components directly impact cleaner efficiency.
Replacing a worn thrust jet helps:
-
Restore proper cleaner movement
-
Improve pool coverage and navigation
-
Prevent circular or erratic travel patterns
-
Reduce strain on internal cleaner components
Routine replacement keeps cleaners operating as designed.
