The 2" pump and filter ports is recommended for use for maximum water flow if the filter system will be more than 30' from the swimming pool or if your pool kit will have a spill-over spa, jetted steps or swimout lounger.

The sand filter is the best choice for most swimming pools. It is the most convenient and easiest to use. The pool kit does not include filter sand due to the increase in shipping weight. The 24" & 25" filter requires 300 lbs of swimming pool filter sand. Filter sand is available from your local hardware store or the 300 lb filter sand $108 can be purchased separate. Cartridge and Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) filters are also available. Some areas do not allow D.E. powder to be dumped into the local drainage system.

The Polaris 165 is the best value vinyl swimming pool cleaner available. It does what the more expensive cleaners do, it keeps the pool clean. The Polaris 165 uses a patented jet sweep assembly. It blows water against the pool wall to loosen debris in hard-to-reach places, like behind the pool ladder. The debris is then blown by the jets into an easy-to-remove filter bag. It cleans the bottom and sweeps the sides of any fiberglass or vinyl pool up to 8' deep. It cleans the pool in forward and reverse usually in three hours or less, even if you have an uneven-bottom. The cleaner extends up to 35' from the pool return (extension hoses are available in 8' sections). The 165 can be installed in minutes and is designed to operate with your existing filtration system with or without a dedicated cleaner line.

	The Polaris booster pump allows your cleaner to work independently from the rest of your pool system. This enables the cleaner to work at 100% efficiency and provides greater vacuum power and faster cleaning. What powers your cleaner is just as important as the cleaner itself. At the heart of the Polaris Booster Pump is a reliable and durable Magnetek motor. This superior motor, coupled with Polaris quality and technology, sets the Polaris 380 and 280 apart from all other pool cleaners.

PVC Pipe Plumbing Kit
The pool to the filter system can be plumbed with ridged sch 40 PVC (available from your local plumbing store) or Flexible sch 40 PVC. We have 3 plumbing kits available. The basic, the most used deluxe and the deluxe 2". Our kits include a combination of flex and ridged PVC. Flex PVC can be bent around most corners without a coupling or fitting. Most plumbing leaks and system failures occur at joints in fittings. Since flex requires fewer fittings, it has less opportunity to leak and installs faster. Use only schedule 40 pipe for plumbing.
Basic 1-1/2" - $200	Deluxe 1-1/2" - $300	Deluxe 2" & 1-1/2" - $450
The Basic plumbing kit can be used with the basic pool kit. It has enough PVC pipe and fittings to plumb the skimmer, main drain and 3 returns if the filter system is within 20' of the deep-end of the pool.	The Deluxe plumbing kit should be used with the deluxe pool kit. It includes enough PVC pipe and fitting to plumb the skimmer, main drain, pool returns, step returns and auto-cleaner line. It will accommodate the deluxe pool kit with the pump being up to 20' away from the pool.	The Deluxe 2" plumbing kit combines 2" & 1-1/2" pipe. It will accommodate the deluxe 2" pool kit with the pump being up to 20' away from the pool. The 2" kit is recommended for use for maximum water flow, spill-over spa or jetted swimout loungers.
