This setup creates suction through the skimmer basket for debris pickup without needing to access the pump strainer basket or interrupt your pump\/system. After vacuuming, remove the plate and re-install your regular skimmer cover or basket setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Use SP11051\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pool owners with above-ground pools or wide-seat top skimmers operating on standard vacuum hoses, SP11051 simplifies vacuuming by using the skimmer basket rather than the pump strainer. This means less hassle, faster cleaning, and no need to stop or reconfigure your pump — a practical, cost-effective vacuum accessory for seasonal and regular pool maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797797556399,"sku":"SP11051","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6415\/2239\/files\/hayward-skim-vacs-1-hose-straight-adapter-sp11051-skimmer-parts-8853628.jpg?v=1777067472","url":"https:\/\/freshized.com\/products\/haywardskimvacs1hosestraightadaptersp11051hppsp11051","provider":"Freshized","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
