Polaris Leaf Bag K15 – All-Purpose Leaf Debris Bag for Polaris 280/180 Pool Cleaners
Heavy-Duty Debris Capture for Your Polaris Cleaner
When fall leaves, seed pods, or heavy debris start filling your pool, your Polaris pressure-side cleaner needs a specialized bag to handle the load. The Polaris K15 Leaf Bag is the genuine OEM replacement designed for the Polaris 280 and 180 models, built with a coarse mesh design that captures larger debris while allowing maximum water flow.
This bag prevents clogging, protects your pool’s circulation system, and keeps your Polaris running at full strength—even in the toughest pool conditions.
Why Choose the Polaris K15 Leaf Bag?
The Polaris K15 stands out as the go-to solution for pools with lots of leaves and larger debris. Unlike fine mesh or all-purpose bags, the K15 has a wider mesh weave that fills quickly with big debris without restricting flow.
Key benefits include:
-
Coarse mesh fabric – Perfect for leaves, acorns, seed pods, and larger debris.
-
Durable construction – Designed to handle heavy loads without tearing.
-
OEM replacement – Genuine Polaris part ensures proper fit and function.
-
Quick installation – Easily attaches to your Polaris 280 or 180.
-
Reusable and washable – Rinse and reuse for multiple cleaning cycles.

Which Polaris Bag Should You Use?
Polaris bags are designed for different types of debris. The K15 is the best for leaves and large debris, but here’s how it compares to other options:
-
Polaris K13 Zipper Bag – All-purpose mesh bag with zipper closure for everyday pool cleaning.
-
Polaris K14 Fine Mesh Bag – Captures dust, pollen, and fine particles in pools exposed to wind or desert conditions.
-
Polaris K15 Leaf Bag (this product) – Coarse mesh bag for leaves, seed pods, and larger debris.
-
Polaris K16 Velcro Bag – All-purpose mesh with Velcro closure.
-
👉 Many pool owners keep two or more Polaris bags on hand so they can swap depending on the season—fine mesh for dusty summer days and leaf bags for fall.
Simple Maintenance & Long-Lasting Use
Using the K15 bag is quick and easy:
-
Detach the old bag – Remove it from the feed hose clip.
-
Attach the new K15 – Snap it into place securely.
-
Empty as needed – Simply unzip, dump the leaves, rinse, and reinstall.
Regularly rinsing the bag after use ensures maximum durability and keeps your cleaner working like new.
When to Replace Your Polaris Bag
-
Visible holes, tears, or worn seams.
-
Bag no longer holds debris properly.
-
Zipper or closure mechanism won’t stay shut.
-
Reduced cleaning performance due to clogged or weakened mesh.
Most pool owners replace their bags annually or sooner if they experience heavy debris loads.
