Polaris K14 – Sand & Silt Filter Bag
Product Overview
The Polaris K14 is a fine-mesh replacement debris bag designed to capture very small particles such as sand, silt and dust in your pressure-side pool cleaner system, helping maintain clearer water and better cleaner performance.
Key Features
- Ultra-fine mesh construction to trap sand, silt, dust and fine debris.
- Designed for use in pressure-side cleaners to help protect your pool filtration system and maintain suction efficiency.
- Reusable and washable—easy to remove, rinse and reinstall for longer service life.
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: K14
- Application: Sand & silt filtration bag for pressure-side pool cleaners
- Compatible Models: Fits Polaris 280 and some 180/380 cleaners (verify fit)
Applications & Compatibility
This bag is ideal for pool owners whose pressure-side cleaner runs in environments with fine dust, sand, pollen or heavy debris load. It is especially useful where standard debris bags allow fine material to slip back into the pool. Before purchasing, verify your cleaner model (example: Polaris 280) and that the bag catches the correct grade of debris.
Installation Instructions
- Turn off the pool cleaner and booster pump (if applicable) and relieve any pressure in the hose line.
- Remove the existing debris bag from the cleaner body, detach from clips or fasteners.
- Install the new K14 bag—secure it to the cleaner clips or attachment points, ensure closure or fastener is engaged.
- Ensure hose routing is correct and free of kinks; restart the system and observe proper cleaner operation and bag behavior.
Troubleshooting
-
Bags tearing or clogging frequently: Check for large debris pieces that may overload the fine mesh, rinse the bag thoroughly or switch to a bag with larger mesh if debris load is heavy.
-
Cleaner suction dropping: Inspect bag for overload of fine debris, rinse or replace, check hose length and weights for correct cleaner movement.
-
Debris escaping back into pool: Ensure the bag is properly secured, mesh not damaged, and appropriate for your debris conditions.
Maintenance Tip
Empty and rinse the K14 filter bag every pool season or more often if you notice heavy fine debris accumulation. Inspect for holes or damage in the mesh and replace the bag if performance drops. Keeping this bag clean helps your cleaner maintain optimal operation and extends the life of your pool system.
