The base is a replacement part made by Polaris. Making this a genuine OEM product.
This base assembly was designed to house the main internal components of the cleaner including the frame. They give the cleaner its operating power to pull and suck up dirt, debris, leaves, and other forms of mulch off the surface of your pool. In order to accomplish this task, the base assembly has a large enough mouth on its bottom side which allows this debris to travel up through and into the zippered all-purpose bag for easy disposal.
This part is white and is designed to be very lightweight which provides better maneuverability for the cleaner as well as a clean sleek look. It also acts as a protective cover for the internal parts allowing no outside influence that would potentially disrupt the cleaner.
Note: We Do Not recommend using a power drill when installing this product as you will split and or damage the plastic.
