Product details

This is the Pentair R36026, the large top housing and plate assembly for the R211100 Vac-Mate. The Vac-Mate is a multifunction vacuum skimmer attachment used on both pools and spas, and this is the top half of it.

Why the top goes first

The top housing takes the handling. It gets lifted, dropped, left in the sun and levered off when the seal sticks. Once the plastic crazes or a mounting ear breaks, the top no longer clamps flat and the unit pulls air instead of water. Suction drops off, and no amount of adjustment at the pump will bring it back.

Fitting

The part arrives as the housing and plate together, so there is no assembly of small pieces. The gasket is not included and is sold separately by Pentair. If the old gasket has taken a set, is torn or has gone hard, replace it at the same time so the new top seals against a fresh surface.

Questions and answers

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

What does this replace?
The large top housing and its plate on the R211100 Vac-Mate vacuum skimmer attachment.
Does the gasket come with it?
No. The Vac-Mate gasket is a separate Pentair part, so order it alongside if the old one is flattened or torn.
Is this a genuine Pentair part?
Yes. It is the Pentair OEM assembly, part number R36026.
Why is my Vac-Mate losing suction?
A cracked or warped top housing, or a tired gasket, lets air in and kills the pull. Check the sealing face of the top first.
