The Polaris K16 All-Purpose Debris Bag is a genuine white OEM replacement bag for Polaris 280 and 3900 Sport pressure-side pool cleaners. Its Velcro closure opens for emptying and rinsing, making the bag a practical option for everyday debris collection.

The K16 collects general pool debris in a removable single bag. When sand and silt are the main concern, compare a compatible sand/silt bag rather than treating an all-purpose bag as a dedicated fine-debris filter.

Empty and rinse an undamaged bag as part of routine maintenance. Replace it if the fabric tears, debris escapes, the connector is damaged, or the Velcro closure no longer stays closed.

Why It Matters

The correct bag keeps collected debris contained and can be removed for routine cleaning.

  • Collects everyday debris picked up by a compatible cleaner
  • Provides a Velcro opening for debris removal
  • Can be rinsed and reused while undamaged
  • Replaces a worn bag with the matching Polaris part number
  • On a Polaris 280, routine inspection can also include the C10 MaxTrax tire, B5 sweep hose, and sweep hose scrubber; confirm each part in the cleaner’s diagram

Designed for Polaris 280 and 3900 Sport Cleaners

The K16 fits Polaris 280 and 3900 Sport cleaners. Confirm your cleaner model and bag connector before ordering, and attach the bag securely following the Polaris instructions.

For the 3900 Sport, this is a single-bag option. It does not have the double-bag design of the 3900 Sport SuperBag.

Durable, Reusable Construction

Turn off the pool and booster pumps before removing the cleaner or servicing its bag. Open the Velcro closure, empty the contents, and rinse the bag. Clear debris from the closure and press it closed fully before returning the cleaner to service.

For customers comparing bag options, consider the Polaris K13 zipper bag, Polaris K14 sand/silt bag, or Polaris K15 leaf bag. Choose by debris type and confirm the cleaner connection.

When to Replace the K16 Debris Bag

Inspect the fabric, connector, and Velcro closure regularly. A dirty but undamaged bag can be emptied and rinsed; damage that prevents secure attachment or debris containment calls for replacement.

If a Polaris 280 still has cleaning problems after bag maintenance, follow its troubleshooting guide before replacing other parts. The D20 hose swivel, G52 backup valve, and A49 factory tune-up kit are separate service items; match each to your cleaner’s parts diagram.
