FAQ

The 48-222 in-line filter screen is designed for use with several Zodiac Polaris pressure-side pool cleaner models, including the Polaris 180, 280, 280 TankTrax, 380, 3900 Sport, 480 PRO, and Quattro P40/Sport. It is also compatible with the Polaris Black Max 280 and Black Max 380 variants. We recommend confirming your specific cleaner model and existing part number before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
This replacement filter screen is identified by part number 48-222. It is also known by the manufacturer designations Polaris 48-222 and Zodiac 48-222.
The in-line filter screen captures debris before it travels deeper into the cleaner's water circuit. This protects internal passages and helps maintain optimal water flow and operating pressure for the unit.
Common symptoms include reduced cleaner performance, sluggish movement, incomplete pool coverage, or visible debris buildup within the screen. If the cleaner appears to have restricted water flow or loses performance despite other system checks, inspect the in-line screen for clogging, tearing, or physical distortion.
Replacing this screen is a straightforward maintenance task for Polaris pressure-side cleaners. The process typically takes only a few minutes and does not require special tools. Always shut off the pool pump and booster pump first to relieve line pressure, then open the filter housing or disconnect the screen location as designed for your specific model to clean or replace the component before reassembling.
Before installation, inspect the feed hose and nearby fittings for debris, check the screen housing and seals for cracks or wear, and ensure the water supply path is clear. If a new screen clogs quickly, the issue may be caused by upstream debris in the line or poor pool filtration rather than the screen itself.
The most common cause is the accumulation of leaves, grit, plaster dust, or other fine material within the pool system. Screens can also wear out from repeated cleaning, become misshapen, or tear over time. If your cleaner is collecting unusual amounts of debris, frequent screen service may indicate that the pool requires additional vacuuming, skimming, or general filter maintenance.
