Product details

This is the genuine Pentair cuff for the Vac-Mate vacuum skimmer attachment, part number R36030Z. The catalog record also carries the number 211100 and describes the piece as the Vac-Mate alignment guide, so both numbers refer to this same part.

What it does

The Vac-Mate lets you vacuum through the skimmer without pulling the basket or improvising a fitting. The cuff is the soft connection at the vacuum side, and its job is to hold the hose connection square and sealed. Everything downstream depends on that seal being tight.

When to replace it

A cuff that has split, gone hard, or stretched out of shape lets air into the suction line. The usual complaint is a vacuum that suddenly seems weak, or one that keeps losing prime, when the pump and the hose are both fine. Because the part is small and inexpensive relative to the trouble it causes, it is worth changing at the first sign of damage.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does the cuff do?
It is the alignment guide on the Vac-Mate, the piece that keeps the vacuum connection seated where it belongs so the attachment can hold suction.
Why do I see two part numbers?
The part is listed as Pentair R36030Z and also carries the number 211100 in the catalog record. Both refer to this cuff.
Does it include the Vac-Mate?
No. This is the cuff only. The Vac-Mate vacuum skimmer attachment is a separate item.
My vacuum has gone weak at the skimmer. Is this the part?
It can be. If the cuff is split, distorted or missing, the connection leaks air and the vacuum loses its grip even though the pump is fine.
