All the suction the pump is producing goes through that hose, so vacuuming is stronger than working off a dedicated vacuum line, and because the flow still passes through the basket, leaves and grit are caught before they reach the pump strainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatch the plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayward builds more than one Skim Vac plate and they are not interchangeable. This is the straight version. Take the old plate out and compare it before ordering, and check the gasket at the same time, because a plate that will not seal defeats the point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634627358932,"sku":"HAY-25-1640","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_5089c49f-bacf-4dc8-9710-7e2a4661b9e3.jpg?v=1788835570","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/skim-vac-straight","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
