Quick overview
- Frame and net together The replacement comes as one assembly, so a torn net and a bent frame are both solved at once.
- For the 126 hand skimmer Sized for the Pentair Rainbow number 126 professional grade hand skimmer.
- Also listed as 126R The same part appears under the 126R reference, which is the replacement net callout.
- Cheaper than a new skimmer The pole handle and hardware stay in service, only the working end gets replaced.
- Professional grade duty Matched to the heavier hand skimmer used by service techs rather than a light seasonal net.
- Genuine Pentair Factory part R121216, not a generic net cut to fit.

Product details
The Pentair R121216 is the replacement frame and net for the number 126 professional grade hand skimmer. It arrives as a single assembly, so the frame and the netting are both new.
When to replace it
A hand skimmer takes a beating. The net picks up snags and tears at the seam, and the frame slowly bends out of shape from scooping heavy loads of wet leaves. Once either one goes, the skimmer starts spilling debris back into the water. Replacing the head costs a fraction of a new skimmer and the pole you already own carries on working.
Fit
This is the head for the number 126 professional grade hand skimmer, also referenced as 126R. Skimmer nets are not universal, so confirm the model of the skimmer you are rebuilding before ordering.
