the polaris 380 is a p.o..s that polaris has been trying to get rid
of for years, hence the rebate. The unknown little brother the
polaris 280 is a much superior product and came out after thee 380.
The jet vac is a pressure sided ckener fron LETRO and it does use a
booster pump. pat

    Doen’t LETRO have a 4 wheel 380 look alike that Leslie’s pushes. Granted the
    380 does have some design problems such as the turbine bearing, wheel
    bearings, BELTS but after working on several hundred most of the problems are
    created by the type of system the cleaner is connected to. Cleaners
    connected to a system with a sand filter need maintenance much more often
    than cleaners connected to cartridge or DE systems. But other than the 280
    is there anything better?
