Polaris Atlas & Atlas XT Flow Regulator Valve | R0953500

The Polaris R0953500 Flow Regulator Valve is a factory-built OEM replacement designed to deliver proper flow control for Polaris Atlas and Atlas XT suction cleaners. It moderates the water entering the cleaner to maintain balanced suction, helping prevent the unpredictable movement or stalling that occurs when flow is too strong. Engineered to Polaris standards, the valve integrates seamlessly into the existing hose system and withstands routine exposure to debris and pressure variations. When the original valve becomes blocked or worn, installing the R0953500 restores smooth navigation and consistent cleaning efficiency.
