Polaris 280 Serrated-Shaft Turbine

Get Your Polaris Robot Moving Again

A pressure-driven pool robot like the Polaris 280 moves thanks to its turbine, whose rotation is transmitted to the wheels via a drive shaft. This shaft is a wear part: when it’s damaged, the robot moves poorly, spins in circles, or stays stationary. Replacing it restores normal operation.

A Wear Part to Watch For

The toothed shaft is subjected to constant mechanical stress. Its teeth and contact surfaces eventually wear down, reducing the transmission of motion. A new shaft restores smooth operation.

Compatible with Polaris 280 and 180

This part is designed for the Polaris 280 and 180 pressure-based robots (part number W7230231). Check your robot’s model before ordering.

Our Maintenance Tips

If your robot isn’t moving properly, check the condition of the drive shaft and impeller first. While you’re at it, inspect the bearings and make sure other wear-and-tear parts are in good condition. Refer to your Polaris manual for disassembly instructions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is this part used for?

It’s the toothed drive shaft that transmits the turbine’s rotation to the Polaris robot’s propulsion system.

Which robots is it compatible with?

It’s compatible with the Polaris 280 and 180 pressure-driven pool robots (part no. W7230231).

How do I know if it needs to be replaced?

If the robot is moving poorly, spinning its wheels, or has stopped moving even though the impeller is spinning, the drive shaft is often the cause.

Is this an original part?

Yes, this is the part from the Zodiac/Polaris line with part number W7230231.
