Pump Body, PB4SQ – Polaris Booster Pump Replacement Housing
Restore Your Polaris Booster Pump with the PB4SQ Pump Body Replacement
When your Polaris booster pump housing cracks, leaks, or wears out, there’s no need to replace the entire pump. You can restore it to like-new condition with the Pump Body, PB4SQ — a genuine OEM replacement housing made specifically for the Polaris PB4SQ Booster Pump.
This OEM-quality replacement is precision-engineered by Polaris for a perfect fit, durable performance, and quiet operation. If your pump housing has freeze damage, corrosion, or warping, replacing it restores your booster system to top condition — saving you both time and money compared to replacing the entire pump.
Designed for the Polaris PB4SQ Booster Pump
The Polaris PB4SQ (Quiet Series) is one of the most efficient and quiet booster pumps in the industry. The PB4SQ Pump Body directly replaces the original housing while maintaining the same hydraulic performance, pressure ratings, and low-noise operation that Polaris is known for.
This molded housing forms the base of your pump’s water pathway. It holds the impeller and seal plate that generate pressure for your Polaris pressure-side cleaner. Replacing a damaged housing restores full cleaning pressure and prevents leaks that could damage the motor, bearings, or impeller assembly.
Built from High-Strength, Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Polaris constructs the PB4SQ pump body with reinforced thermoplastic polymers that resist corrosion, chlorine damage, and UV exposure. These materials stand up to years of pool water chemistry and outdoor heat without cracking or deforming.
Unlike generic aftermarket imitations, this OEM housing is pressure-rated and engineered with tight tolerances, ensuring a precise seal with O-rings, diffusers, and impellers. That accuracy ensures your PB4SQ pump maintains efficient water flow and consistent pressure — key to the reliable performance of Polaris pressure cleaners like the 280, 380, and 3900 Sport.
Quiet, Efficient Design for Modern Pool Systems
Part of Polaris’ “Quiet Series,” the PB4SQ was designed to deliver strong performance with minimal noise. The pump body’s internal water channels reduce turbulence and vibration, allowing for smooth water flow and whisper-quiet operation.
Installing a genuine PB4SQ housing ensures that your booster pump retains its quiet performance — making your pool environment more relaxing and energy-efficient.
Perfect Fit, Hassle-Free Installation
The PB4SQ Pump Body is built to OEM specifications, guaranteeing compatibility with your existing pump components. All mounting holes, ports, and seals align perfectly for a fast, no-hassle installation.
To replace a cracked or leaking housing, simply transfer your motor, impeller, and fittings from the old body to the new one. You’ll restore your pump’s full performance, pressure, and flow without the cost of a complete system replacement.

Protects Against Leaks and Damage
Cracks, leaks, and seal failures can cause air leaks, water loss, and motor damage. Replacing the housing early prevents secondary failures in:
-
Impeller shaft seals
-
Motor bearings
-
Pump unions and fittings
A new PB4SQ housing keeps your booster pump fully sealed and pressure-stable, ensuring reliable performance for your Polaris pool cleaner.
