ATIE360, 380 Pool Cleaner Sand and Silt Bag 9-100-1015 Replacement for Zodiac Polaris 360, 380 Pool Cleaners Great for Desert Area Pools

The price on the real Polaris sand and silt bag has become absurdly high. This bag is priced at what this sort of product seems to be worth, and it works! The plastic clips always fail on my Polaris bag after a few years in the pool. That makes the bag fall off. The clips on this bag seem just as strong as on a new Polaris bag. The mesh seems pretty similar, but not as fine. It still catches a lot of smaller particles and does a good job collecting crud. The velcro works just as well as the Polaris bag.This bag does not have quite as much capacity as the Polaris bag. The shape is the same, but it doesn't expand out to the sides as much when it fills up. This is not a problem unless you have loads of leaves in your pool every day - you might have to empty it a bit more often?I'd always bought the original Polaris sand and silt bags, but no more. This was less than one third the price for 95% of the function! It would have to last 1/3 of the time of Polaris bag to be a bad deal. Thank you ATIE!UPDATE: The velcro only lasts about 6 months. All the fuzz has come off and it will not seal at all. So, hey, the plastic that breaks on the Polaris is still good on this big, but the bag is completely useless after 6 months anyway. The hunt continues. The Polaris bag lasts about 2 years for $35, and this lasted 6 months for $10. It's not really much of a win after all.

These are the best replacement bags. They work better than the bag that comes with the Polaris. Highly recommended!

I have to order these yearly. They work very well, just get worn out. Fits my Polaris pool sweep very well.

Just a note, these do well, but are not as big as the regular filter bags. I do like the Velcro closure, but it gets dirty and filled with stuff when emptying. The Velcro is also difficult to clean. Time will tell how they hold up.

Pool water was very cloudy. Added coagulant to clump fine particles together. Water cleared up with coagulated particles covering bottom of pool. Ran Polaris with fine mesh sand/silt debris bag. Water became cloudy again. Filter bag removed only sand. Added coagulant and debris ended up on bottom. Used the diatomaceous pool filter to vacuum debris from bottom of pool. Flushed filter and refilled with clean diatomaceous earth. Have clear pool water now.

An exact and perfect replacement. I live in the Tropics with several shrubs and trees around my pool, so needless to say have plenty of leafs, small branches, tweeds, seeds, little fruits, pollen and debris. My Polaris 360 Pool Vac resides full time inside of my in-ground concrete pool and works 4 hours a day, 365 days a year. This bag its excellent to catch all the debris on the bottom of the pool during the non leafs falling months of the year, specially all the fine dirt. On the leafs falling month the amount of left and debris on the bottom its incredible, so for those hectic two to three weeks, I first use a larger leafs bag to cope with that volume and two hours later replace it with this one bag to pick-up all the small particles and finish the cleaning job. Life expectancy of this bag should be a year to year and a half, had to replace mine at the ten month mark due to a side puncture by a small branch when the bag was ultra-packed with leaves since didn't clean it for 4 days (illness). After over a decade of running pool vacs, my experience has been that Pool Vac bags last between 12 to 18 months since the chlorine, emptying, cleaning and washing the bag does take a toll on the fabric and velcro life.

These work well and are priced well also. I like them because the mesh is fine so it catches the dirt and sand.

I have ordered these replacement bags over the years from this seller. My last purchase came with an area not sewn correctly and had a couple inch opening. I didn't notice it until I used it once. Contacted seller and they quickly sent out a replacement. These sand and silt bags pick up everything. I only wish they had a zipper like the newer Polaris bags, but work equally as well.
