Kelsey: Bought mine in August 2019 and I'm just now replacing it after 4 years. It gets used about 60 times a month and is so much better than any other vacuum head I've ever used and I've tried a bunch of them. I time almost everything I do when I'm working on the job and this vacuum head took 30 to 40 percent off the time it takes to vacuum my pools. You don't even need a good pool pump suction to get good vacuum from it. Works really well vacuuming heavy sand and rocks. If you have a pool and plan to keep it, you really want this vacuum head or a really nice robotic cleaner. I've only had 1 wheel fail on me after about 3.5 years in but that it from heavy use and sometimes a little abuse from sitting in the back of the truck

Victor M. Justo: This pool vacuum is very good quality. If managed well it can last several years.

jj100: Easy to use, glided easily over the bottom of the pool while cleaning, heavy duty

Mike from Highland: I am absolutely loving this vacuum head. My old unit lasted eight years, which is great, but it was very hard to use by comparison. This unit articulates up & down and left & right, which makes it so much easier to use. I also really like that the handle connecting piece is made of metal. The rollers are super smooth and the factory setting for roller height was perfect to create excellent suction and cleaning power. It provides a much better user experience than the less-expensive model from Pentair, which is the Pentair R201388 203. IMHO, this is definitely worth the money. (20' x 60' salt water pool, 50K gallons, plaster and tile)

Kyle S.: Took a little to get the right setup with the wheel height and which strips to install but once I did it worked amazing. Highly recommended.

Nicholas P.: This item seems to be very high quality. I read some reviews about wheels falling off of these during use, but mine was very well put together, and I doubt that will ever be an issue.

As for the operation of the vacuum, I attached it to a Robelle 750 Swimming Pool Vacuum Hose, 40-Feet by 1-1/2-Inch hose, and I used a Hayward SP1106 Large Skim Vac Plate to attach the hose to my skimmer basket. Since my pool has two surface skimmers, one must be blocked with a tennis ball, allowing all of the suction to be delivered to one skimmer. In my experience, it take a few minutes for the hose to completely fill with water, but once it is full, the connection between the skimmer plate and the skimmer basket is very strong. Then all of that suction power is available to the Pentair Pro Vac, and you don't have an issue with the Vac Plate coming loose while moving about the pool.

The vacuum itself connects easily to any pool pole. The blue deck of the vac is slightly flexible allowing it to contour to rounded surfaces. The bottom of the vacuum has a couple of rubber pieces that run the width of the vac to increase suction power. The wheels roll smoothly, and the vac can be rolled...
