Polaris foam tail scrubber -- cheaper source?; Silt bag tip

[sunofthebeach]

I have never replaced mine. Mine deteriorated the 1st year.

The idea that the sponge on the end of the tail scrubs anything is a little far fetched to me.

Normal currents caused by people in the pool would do more scrubbing.

Mine also was gone after the first year on my Polaris 360. The pool guy that sold me the Polaris, told me that it was not necessary to replace it as it does not really do much.

Keep watching eBay. "Poolm357" was selling 3 genuine Polaris scrubbers for $6 ($2 each) last fall, so I bought a good supply. The shipping was quite reasonable, if I remember correctly.

My local Leslie's used to sell a Pentair scrubber as a replacement but the foam did not hold up nearly as well as the Polaris brand. They've since returned to selling genuine Polaris but they are more expensive than eBay.
