Pentair Leaf Eater 185 Wheels & Brushes, Mesh Bag, Display Box | R211036

Pentair Rainbow Leaf Eater #185 w/ Wheels & Brushes (Venturi Debris Cleaner) | R211036

The Pentair R211036 (Rainbow Leaf Eater #185) is a venturi-powered debris cleaner that connects to a standard garden hose to create high-velocity water jets that pull leaves and debris into an attached collection bag. It can be used at the surface like a skimmer or on the pool floor to pick up sunken debris, helping you clean up quickly without sending large debris to the pump basket.

Key Features

• Venturi jet action uses garden-hose water flow to create suction that captures leaves and debris.
• Top skimmer or bottom cleaner for floating debris or debris on the pool floor.
• Removable collection bag traps debris for easy emptying and cleanup.
• Swivel wheels improve maneuverability on hard pool surfaces.
• Brushes included help loosen debris (especially useful on vinyl liner and textured surfaces).

• Store out of direct sunlight when possible to reduce UV aging of plastic parts.
