The Zodiac 5-Port Water Valve Rebuild Kit for Polaris Vac-Sweep 360 Pool Cleaner, 5-9-2001 is a comprehensive replacement kit designed to restore the proper functionality of the water valve mechanism in your Polaris pool cleaner.

The kit is engineered to replace all major wear components involved in the valve’s operation. Typically, it includes:

• 5 Pistons: These components replace the originals to ensure smooth and reliable movement within the valve.

• 2 Large O-Rings: Critical for providing a watertight seal at key junctions.

• 5 Small O-Rings: Additional sealing components to prevent leaks and maintain proper pressure.

• 1 Cam Assembly: This is vital for ensuring the proper opening and closing movement of the valve ports.

• 5 Steel Balls: These help maintain the integrity of the valve’s internal mechanism by controlling the flow through each port.

• 6 Retaining Screws and 6 Retaining Nuts: These fasteners secure all the components together, ensuring that the assembly remains intact and functions as intended during operation.

Benefits of the Rebuild Kit

• Restores Optimal Performance: By replacing worn or failing parts, the kit helps re-establish the correct water flow through the valve, which is essential for effective cleaning action.

• Durability and Reliability: Crafted from high-quality, durable materials, the new components are designed to withstand constant exposure to pool water and chemicals, extending the lifespan of your cleaner.

• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Instead of replacing the entire valve assembly or even the pool cleaner, using a rebuild kit is a resourceful way to maintain your equipment economically and sustainably.

Installation Tips

1. Preparation: Before beginning the rebuild, disconnect the cleaner and drain any water from the valve area. Clean any residue or scale from the housing to ensure a proper seal on the new parts.

2. Disassembly: Carefully remove the old, worn components, taking note of how the parts are arranged. It may help to take photographs for later reference.

3. Rebuild: Install the new pistons, O-rings, cam assembly, and steel balls in the precise order recommended by the manufacturer. Use the provided retaining screws and nuts to secure everything firmly.

4. Testing: Once reassembled, reconnect the cleaner and conduct a test run to confirm that the water flow is correctly restored, and the valve is operating smoothly without leaks.
