Pentair R211100 Vac-Mate: Multi-Function Skimmer Attachment

Overview

Meet the Pentair R211100 Vac-Mate, a versatile skimmer attachment designed to sit inside most pool skimmers. It combines suction control with enhanced surface skimming, giving you a single, intuitive setting to manage your pool cleaner while keeping the water surface clear.

When the Vac-Mate is in use, the surface is skimmed continuously as the pool cleaner operates, so debris is addressed at the source. A built-in debris basket traps leaves and fine particles before they reach the pump pot, helping reduce strain on the filtration system and minimize maintenance stops.

Core Benefits

• All-in-one control lets you manage a suction cleaner while maximizing surface skimming.
• Continuous surface skimming occurs even as the cleaner runs, keeping the pool water feeling fresh.
• The basket traps debris before it reaches the pump pot, helping protect equipment and improve flow.
• Replaces many traditional control mechanisms, simplifying setup and operation.

What You May Gain

• Automatic behavior for compatible suction-side cleaners and wall skimmers, reducing manual adjustments.
• Compatibility with a wide range of pool configurations, with straightforward install.
• Cleaner runs more smoothly, with debris captured at the surface for easier cleanup.

How It Works

Designed by Pentair, the Vac-Mate fits inside the skimmer and connects to your existing suction line. With a simple control handle adjustment, you switch between manual & automatic modes, enabling automatic surface skimming while the cleaner operates.

Notes on Use

For best results, ensure compatibility with your pool equipment and follow the installation guidelines provided with your kit.
