Vacuum Heads That Glide, Seal and Pick Up

Polyethylene pool vacuum heads from Egypt: wheeled 12 and 19 inch flexible models with lead weights, an oval liner cleaner and the Hydro Vac, all for 29 mm handles.

How a Vacuum Head Actually Cleans

Manual vacuuming remains the most precise way to remove settled dirt, because the operator sees exactly what leaves the floor. The vacuum head is the working end of that system: connected to a 1.5 inch hose that plugs into the vacuum point or, through the skimmer vacuum plate, straight into the skimmer, it channels the pump suction into a narrow mouth gliding across the bottom. Weight and geometry decide the result; a head that is too light lifts off and breaks suction, one that drags scratches the finish. Waterstar builds its heads in polyethylene with ballast and wheels tuned to hold contact, and mounts every model on the same 29 mm telescopic handle used by its brushes and leaf skimmers.

Wheeled, Oval and Hydro Vac Models

The flexible wheeled family covers tiled and concrete floors: the 12 inch model runs on 8 wheels with 4 lead weights under 6 ABS covers, while the 19 inch version widens the sweep with 12 wheels and 6 lead weights under 10 ABS covers, halving the passes on wide floors. Both take the 29 mm handle and the 1.5 inch hose. For vinyl pools, the oval vacuum cleaner for liner pools replaces wheels with curved edges that slide into tight corners, adding a built-in brush and weights for stable underwater tracking without stressing the membrane. The Hydro Vac cleaning head completes the range for operators who prefer that cleaning style.

A Vacuuming Routine That Protects the Filter

Good practice starts the session by priming the hose full of water so no air slug reaches the pump, then works the floor in slow overlapping lanes from shallow to deep; rushing only stirs sediment back into suspension. After heavy dust storms, vacuuming to waste keeps fine material out of the sand bed. The head is one link in a chain that includes the vacuum point cast into the wall, the hose and the telescopic handle, all supplied from the Waterstar catalogue. Pool owners and service companies can send their pool dimensions and surface type to the factory, and the Waterstar engineers will recommend the right head size and a complete cleaning tool kit.
