PENTAIR 12'' Vaccum Head
Product Overview
The Pentair Model #203 is the standard specification for service technicians who need a weighted manual vacuum head that stays submerged on concrete and gunite surfaces.
The Pentair 12″ Vacuum Head (Model #203) is a versatile and durable cleaning tool designed to handle routine debris removal from pool floors, slopes, and shallow areas. Built with a rugged plastic body and reinforced edges, this weighted head maintains consistent contact with the pool surface to ensure effective suction. It features a swivel inlet that prevents hose kinking, making it a reliable choice for maintaining a clean, attractive pool floor with minimal effort.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Weighted Concrete Design
The heavy-duty weighted body prevents the vacuum from floating, ensuring it stays firmly on the floor of gunite and plaster pools for consistent suction.
360-Degree Swivel Inlet
The swivel hose connection reduces tension and prevents kinks in your vacuum hose, allowing for smoother navigation around tight corners and steps.
12-Inch Suction Path
The wide 12-inch opening covers more surface area in fewer passes, efficiently removing leaves, sand, and small gravel from the pool bottom.
Compatibility
- Concrete and gunite pool finishes
- Standard 1.5-inch vacuum hoses
- Universal telescopic pool poles
When To Use This
Pro Tip
When vacuuming fine debris like algae or silt, move the vacuum head in slow, overlapping passes; moving too quickly can create a wake that stirs up the debris before the suction can capture it.
