Vac head for vinyl IG...

[chrisexv6]

Ive read the "I hate my vac head" thread, but wanted to ask one question that was never answered:

Can we use the "commercial" type vac-heads on a vinyl liner pool? These are the flexible heads with multiple wheels on it.

I need to buy a new vac head and for once want a decent one that will work well and last a while. Right now its between the Blue Devil, Rainbow 198 ("contoured") and Rainbow 214 (commercial, flexible with wheels)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris

NO!!

Those vacs will hurt your liner and possibly floor!

You need to stick with the vac heads that have brushes attached.

Hehe, I love the happy "hi" then the "you're an idiot" head bonk

The ProVac 214 does actually have a brush on the front of it. But Ill go with the contour model just to be safe. I have a triangle head right now, but what a pain trying to get the last bit of startup algae where the walls meet the floor............the triangle has such little surface area that I can shove into that 90 degree joint.

And Ive learned I want something with replaceable parts.........cant find replacement brushes for my generic triangle vac, so I end up buying a new one when the brushes wear out (which is basically every season)
