Hey Tom I use a seperate pp from the main pump if that's what you speaking of. All pools I've had I've always run a seperate pump. I hope that helps. Allen

No, you don't use a booster pump for the 360. If you have a booster pump you'll use the Polaris 280.Backyard Pool Superstore

There is no provision for an external/manual pump as far as I can tell. It'll probably take some serious DIY mod job to attach one to this bed.

Do you mean if the inlet pressure is sufficient then the booster pump would cutoff? I do not think so because the pump would need a bypass if this was the case and I have not seen such. Without a bypass the pump would limit water flow so you would not have the pressure at the necessary flow rate with the pump not running. the purpose of the booster pump is to make sure their is sufficent pressure with sufficient fo to run the polaris so it cleans effectively. If your system has enough pressure without it it you dont need one, btu if you need one you need it all the time, if you want your pool clean that is.

Hi CEO,Thanks for reaching out. Because your new Polaris 360 does not require a booster pump, it will work differently from your Polaris 280. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and explain the differences between the 280 and the 360 cleaners. Can you contact us directly at polarispool1@gmail.com and provide your contact info?Thank you!Julie,Polaris

Not too sure. The 380 needs a separate booster pump. I had the. 380 for about 15 years and just updated last year with a new one. Had gear issues. Other than that it works great once you get the settings correct.

I did not need any booster pump on my basement installation that feeds a kitchen faucet and refrigerator. Manufacturer has mentioned that a booster pump can be added and I also saw few video on you tube, thinking I might need it.

Yes you can but it will take a lot longer to pump up and if you have the right adaptor for it

I'm not sure if this will help, because I have a Polaris 380 (or 360). But you'll want to match the horsepower and cycle of your existing pump. Your pump should have that information on it somewhere. If you match that, it should work fine. And I am very happy that I bought this quieter version. It really is very quiet.

I have used the Ultrasonic Cleaner a few times. There's no need for filters or boosters as far as I can see. What filters and booster are being referred to? I don't see any.

Did you have a pump included. That was more than I had. I went to Walmart and purchased one. I took a while and I still don't have them pumped up very well. I did find if you angle the pump needle a bit it helps, but good luck. It's definitely not easy! Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

First ask why do you NOW need a booster pump after a year? If the flow was fine when you first installed then you need to consider replacing the filters first. If you already replaced the filters then you need to make sure the air pressure in the holding tank is correct. When the tank is completely empty of water, detached from the system and the top 'water' valve is open you SHOULD read around 4 to 6 psi at the valve that looks like the air stem on a bicycle. You can increase the pressure closer to 10 psi but you run the risk of popping the bladder inside the tank. The higher the bladder pressure the faster the water will be pushed out the tank. However, the higher the pressure the less water that can be held inside the tank. If you have done each of these things but still suffer from low water pressure, you can now consider adding a booster pump if your house water pressure is less than 30 psi. The Watts Premier 560043 booster pump has a flow sensor that senses when it needs to be on. The motor remains off unless the system is making water. Hope this helps.

You don't need the second booster. Either don't order it ,or if you already have purchased it, sell it here or on Ebay.

The FI does not require a booster pump and the F5 does require a booster pump.

You don't need one. It is very easy to be pumped up with a regular (and small) pump

Excuse my ignorance here, I always had to rely on my pool maintenance guy to take care of my pool. I have an odd-shaped pool with a beach type entrance and the pentair cleaner is always stuck in a corner. I am thinking of replacing with this highly rated Polaris 280. My question is regarding the booster pump, is it required. Right now, my cleaner is connected to the filter pump. I have booster pumps for the jacuzzi and water falls. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

The booster pump is to keep the water pressure consistently above 40PSI. If you have a low pressure situation where the pressure falls below 40PSI the FO filter won't work properly.

If you are talking about the Polaris 360 versus the 280 there is a huge difference in how your pool is plumbed. You should really talk to your local dealer. The 280 is designed for a booster pump and the 360 is not.
