Product details

The Pentair R36033 is the retainer bar for the R211100 Vac-Mate, the multifunction vacuum skimmer attachment used on pools and spas. It is the genuine Pentair replacement part.

What it does

The retainer bar is the clamping piece that holds the Vac-Mate assembly together in use. It carries the load every time the unit is tightened down, so it is one of the first pieces to crack or strip on a tool that gets daily service work.

Before you order

The source lists this part both as the retainer bar and as the long retainer bar. If your Vac-Mate uses more than one bar length, measure the broken piece against the assembly before ordering so you get the right one first time.

Questions and answers

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

What does this fit?
The Pentair R211100 Vac-Mate, the multifunction vacuum skimmer attachment for pools and spas.
Is this the long retainer bar or the short one?
The listing is titled as the retainer bar, and the product description calls it the long retainer bar. Measure the piece you are replacing against your Vac-Mate before ordering.
Is it a genuine Pentair part?
Yes. R36033 is the Pentair OEM part.
Why would the retainer bar need replacing?
It is the piece that clamps the assembly together, so it takes the load every time the tool is tightened or knocked. Cracks and stripped ends are the usual reasons it gets changed.
