Product details
The Pentair R201778 is the blue flexible strip for the ProVac flexible vacuum, in a 5 ft length. It is listed for the 214R, 222R, 214, 222 and 229 models.
What the strip does
The flexible strip runs along the underside of the vacuum head and holds it against the pool surface. That contact is what makes the head pull debris in instead of drawing water past the edge, and it is why a vacuum with a worn strip feels like it has lost suction when the pump is fine.
Choosing the right one
Pentair lists a white short leg flexible strip alongside this blue one for the same vacuums. Compare the strip on your head before ordering so you get the matching profile.
