Product details

The Pentair ProVac R201296 is a 29 inch commercial vacuum head, built for pools where a residential head takes too many passes to get anywhere. Pentair rates it at cleaning a pool bottom in half the time.

Why width alone is not the whole story

A wide head only helps if the suction is even across it. The ProVac uses a suction chamber shaped to concentrate vacuum velocity equally, so the outer edges pull as well as the middle. Full width flex strips run along the head and guide debris in toward that chamber rather than letting it wash off to the sides as you move.

Tuning it to the pool

All of the wheels adjust. Raising or lowering them changes how close the head runs to the floor, and that changes the vacuum velocity through the head. A little time spent setting the wheels for the surface and the type of debris makes a noticeable difference to how much you pick up per pass.

Questions and answers

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

How wide is it?
29 inches, which is why it clears a pool floor in far fewer passes than a standard residential head.
What do the adjustable wheels change?
Wheel height sets how close the head sits to the floor, which raises or lowers the vacuum velocity through the head. Adjust it for the surface you are on and the debris you are picking up.
What are the flex strips for?
They run the full width of the head and guide debris in toward the suction chamber rather than letting it slide off to the sides as the head moves.
Is this a commercial head or a residential one?
It is the commercial ProVac head. The size and build suit large residential pools and commercial work where a narrow head takes too long.
