No. It connects to a dedicated pressure line and runs without a separate booster pump.

What kind of pools does it work in?

It is made for in-ground pools and cleans floors, walls and steps.

Does it catch leaves and pebbles?

Yes. A filter bag on the cleaner traps large debris before it reaches the pool's filtration.

It comes with a 31-foot hose, enough for most residential in-ground pools.

How does it compare with the Polaris 280?

Empty and rinse the filter bag regularly and check the hose sections for tangles and wear.

Our take on the Polaris Vac-Sweep 360 In-Ground Automatic Pool Cleaner

The Polaris Vac-Sweep 360 is a pressure-side automatic cleaner for in-ground pools. It runs off a dedicated pressure line without a separate booster pump, which sets it apart from most pressure-side cleaners that need one. It sweeps, scrubs and vacuums floors, walls and steps, and its own filter bag traps leaves and pebbles before they reach the pool's system. Owners rate it well overall; the common complaints are hose and bag upkeep and the need for a strong, properly plumbed pressure line.
