Polaris K14 Replacement Bag – Fits Polaris 180, 280 & 380 Cleaners
Restore Peak Performance to Your Polaris Pool Cleaner
Your Polaris pool cleaner is a workhorse, keeping your pool spotless day after day. But even the best cleaner can’t do its job if the debris bag is worn out, torn, or clogged. That’s where the Polaris K14 Replacement Bag comes in — a durable, fine-mesh debris bag designed to fit Polaris 180, 280, and 380 pressure-side pool cleaners perfectly.
Whether your pool is plagued by large leaves, stubborn pine needles, acorns, fine dust, or silt, the K14 bag keeps your cleaner performing at full strength. By capturing debris before it reaches your filtration system, it not only restores suction power but also protects your pump, filter, and plumbing from unnecessary strain.
Why a Quality Debris Bag Matters
A Polaris cleaner is only as effective as the bag it’s using. A torn or loose-fitting bag allows debris to bypass the collection system, clogging the cleaner’s internals and overworking the booster pump. This can lead to poor cleaning coverage, reduced suction, and costly repairs.
The K14 replacement bag solves these problems by:
-
Providing OEM-style fit and performance for reliable sealing and suction.
-
Capturing a wide range of debris sizes without impeding water flow.
-
Standing up to UV rays, pool chemicals, and the wear-and-tear of daily use.
OEM Fit for Polaris 180, 280 & 380 Models
The Polaris K14 Replacement Bag is engineered to the exact specifications of the original manufacturer. It attaches quickly and securely to your cleaner using a Velcro strap and clip-on design, preventing debris leaks and ensuring a strong seal.
Compatible Models:
-
Polaris 180 Pressure Cleaner
-
Polaris 280 Pressure Cleaner
-
Polaris 380 Pressure Cleaner
Note: This bag is not compatible with the Polaris 3900 Sport or robotic cleaner models. Always check your model number before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
Captures Large & Fine Debris
From hefty autumn leaves to fine spring pollen, the K14’s fine mesh design is built to handle it all:
-
Large debris: Acorns, pinecones, seed pods, twigs.
-
Medium debris: Leaves, bugs, grass clippings, small petals.
-
Fine debris: Sand, silt, pollen, and small organic particles.
By trapping both coarse and fine debris before it sinks, this bag prevents your filter from clogging and keeps your pool water cleaner for longer.
Durable, Washable & Reusable
The K14 is made from heavy-duty mesh fabric that’s built to last through many cleaning cycles and pool seasons. It resists damage from:
-
Harsh UV sunlight
-
Common pool chemicals
-
Abrasion from rough debris
-
Constant movement in water
When full, simply lift the bag from the cleaner, open it over a trash bin, rinse with a garden hose, and reattach. No tools required, no complicated steps.
Improves Cleaner Efficiency
A damaged bag can reduce water flow, impair suction, and shorten your cleaner’s run time. Replacing it with a tight-fitting, undamaged K14 bag restores your cleaner’s performance, allowing it to:
-
Maintain strong suction across the pool.
-
Cover more surface area per cleaning cycle.
-
Reduce the load on the booster pump and filtration system.
This single upgrade can noticeably improve cleaning results and extend the life of your equipment.
Part of a Complete Polaris Maintenance Plan
While replacing the bag will boost performance, pairing it with other fresh Polaris parts can rejuvenate your entire system. Consider replacing:
-
Worn tires for better traction.
-
Feed hoses to prevent leaks.
-
Swivels and connectors for smooth rotation.
-
Scrubbers and wheels to improve wall climbing.
