The Polaris PB4-60 Booster Pump is the industry-standard pressure booster pump designed to power Polaris pressure-side pool cleaners with consistent force and dependable performance. If your pressure cleaner has lost climbing ability, reduced debris pickup, or stopped operating altogether, a failing booster pump is often the cause—and the PB4-60 is the proven replacement trusted by pool professionals nationwide.
Engineered specifically for pressure-side pool cleaners, the Polaris PB4-60 delivers the dedicated water pressure required to operate cleaners independently from the main pool pump. This ensures optimal cleaner performance without compromising filtration flow or circulation balance. When properly installed, the PB4-60 restores full cleaner mobility, wall climbing ability, and debris removal efficiency.
Built for long-term outdoor operation, the Polaris PB4-60 booster pump is a critical component in pressure-side cleaner systems and remains the most widely recommended replacement for worn or failed booster pumps.
Why the Polaris PB4-60 Booster Pump Matters
Pressure-side pool cleaners rely entirely on a booster pump to function correctly. When pressure drops, cleaner performance suffers immediately.
Why this matters:
-
Restores proper pressure for full cleaner movement and climbing
-
Prevents debris from settling due to weak cleaner operation
-
Protects your main pool pump from unnecessary load
Replacing a failing booster pump with the Polaris PB4-60 ensures your pressure cleaner operates as designed, keeping your pool consistently clean.
Designed for Pressure-Side Pool Cleaners
The Polaris PB4-60 is purpose-built to supply high-pressure water flow to Polaris pressure-side pool cleaners. It is most commonly paired with industry-leading models such as the Polaris 280, Polaris 380, and Polaris 3900 Sport.
Because the booster pump operates independently of the main circulation pump, it allows pressure cleaners to run efficiently without disrupting filtration cycles. This separation improves overall system balance and cleaner reliability.
The PB4-60’s proven motor and wet-end design deliver consistent output that pressure cleaners require to navigate pool floors, walls, and steps effectively.
Built for Durability & Continuous Operation
Booster pumps are exposed to heat, moisture, chemicals, and frequent cycling. The Polaris PB4-60 booster pump is engineered to withstand these conditions with durable internal components and a rugged motor housing designed for outdoor pool environments.
When properly installed and maintained, the PB4-60 provides years of reliable service, making it a cost-effective replacement compared to lower-quality alternatives that fail prematurely or deliver inconsistent pressure.

Installation & Replacement Considerations
The Polaris PB4-60 booster pump is typically installed downstream of the main pool pump and filter and must be plumbed correctly to supply pressure directly to the cleaner line. Electrical wiring should always meet local code requirements.
Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure:
-
Proper plumbing orientation
-
Correct electrical connection
-
Safe operation and optimal pressure output
Replacing a failing booster pump promptly helps prevent cleaner downtime and unnecessary debris buildup.
Ideal Applications
The Polaris PB4-60 booster pump is ideal for residential inground pools that use pressure-side pool cleaners requiring dedicated pressure. It is commonly selected when an existing booster pump fails, loses pressure, or shows signs of motor wear.
