The Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Black Max is a pressure-side in-ground pool cleaner driven by a separate booster pump. Two jets push it around the pool while a single-chamber filter bag traps leaves and larger debris, and Polaris says it can finish a pool in about three hours. It suits owners of larger in-ground pools who already have (or will add) a booster pump and want wall and floor coverage without a robotic unit. Against robotic cleaners it is simpler and has no electronics to fail, but it needs that extra pump and does not scrub as aggressively as a robot with rotating brushes.

Owners of pressure-side Polaris cleaners generally report solid debris pickup and simple upkeep, and the 280 line is a long-running design. Complaints center on the booster pump requirement and bag capacity in leafy pools.
The Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 is a pressure side pool cleaner that sweeps, scrubs and vacuums the bottom and walls of a pool. It is powered by double jets and has greater vacuum power for faster cleaning. It cleans a pool in 3 hours or less.
It works in all in-ground pools of any size and shape. It runs off a separate booster pump. A single chamber filter bag captures larger debris, and a 31-foot feed hose is included.
