Connections are too small for 360 feeder hose. I ordered one and confirmed. **Q: Does anyone else's backup valve stay on? Mine won't shut offf after installing** A: Mine has been working fine. You must have a defective valve. **Q: will it work with a kreepy krauly platnium** A: Yes, it will. **Q: What's the final word on whether or not this part is compatible with the pressure-side Polaris 360, I've seen both yes and no in the anwers?** A: This will NOT work with the Polaris 360. That system has a hose much wider than the Polaris 180, 280, and 380, and 3900. You need a replacement for the Polaris 360 backup valve. (P/N 9-100-1200.) Beware internet after market products. Many good prices are for the SHELL ONLY, does not contain internal gears!!! Even with the correct part number for a complete valve, they still list it as "shell only". You can also search for a backup valve for the Pentair Legend II. They are interchangeable. I've been professionally servicing pools since 1995, if that makes any difference. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/345283528-g52-backup-valve-replacement-kit-for-polaris-pool-cleaners-180](https://www.desertcart.us/products/345283528-g52-backup-valve-replacement-kit-for-polaris-pool-cleaners-180) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
