Product details

The Rainbow Mini Vac #204 is a small venturi powered vacuum for spas, sold by Pentair as part number R201146.

How it works

There is no motor and no hookup to the filter system. Water driven through the head creates a venturi that pulls debris up into the bag. That makes it quick to grab and quick to put away, which is the whole reason a mini vac gets used and a full vacuum setup often does not.

Where it earns its place

Spa footwells, seat corners and steps collect leaves and grit in places a full size vacuum head simply cannot get into. The Mini Vac is also used on above ground pools, ponds and fountains, anywhere the job is too small to justify dragging out the big gear.

Service

The bag is the wear part. The Minivac #204-06 replacement bag is sold separately when the original gets thin or torn.

Questions and answers

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

How does it create suction?
Venturi action. Water flowing through the head draws debris in, so it does not need to be connected to the filter system.
Can I use it in an above ground pool?
Yes. It is used on spas, above ground pools, ponds and fountains.
Can I replace the bag?
Yes. The Minivac #204-06 bag is available as a separate part.
Will this replace my regular pool vacuum?
No. It is a mini vac for spots a full size head cannot reach or is not worth setting up for. A full size vacuum is still the tool for cleaning a whole pool.
