There are plenty of good options of pool cleaners you can pick these days, but we bet you can't find that many that can counter the benefits and features offered by the Pentair's Vac-Mate Cleaner. From the cleaner's ability to offer a multi-function vacuum/skimmer attachment system to an ability to trap debris in a compact Vac-mate basket, your investment in a Vac-mate can help you lower your costs in pool maintenance.

However, just because Vac-mate is a reliable unit doesn't mean it's indestructible. As you use the Vac-mate for scaling your pool cleaning, you'd pretty much get its parts worn out. Instead of buying a brand new unit, we have here in this category some of the most common, genuine replacement parts you need to get your unit running again.

The first among many of the components we offer in this category is the: R01066 Pentair Vac-Mate Hex Nut 3/8-16. You might need this replacement part if you want to retain your Vac-mate's ability to skim pool surfaces continuously without stopping your swimming pool's operations. Your Vac-mate can replace most control mechanisms supplied by the swimming pool and can make an automatic wall-skimming cleaning procedure, but with a broken Hex-nut, all of these practical features will be rendered useless.

We should include here the R172050 Pentair/Rainbow Nipple Vacuum Gauge R211101 as another important component we place in this category to get your Vac-mate maximize its surface skimming abilities.

To prevent your Vac-mate from requiring replacements, you may consider some per-cautionary maintenance tips. One of them would be to make sure that the cleaner's pump basket is not clogged or that its filter is not dirty. These are the most common reasons why your Vac-mate either runs sluggishly or slower than usual, or completely won't run.
