This professional-style vacuum head combines a rugged aluminum alloy body, a 4.2 lb counterweighted design, and spring-loaded bristles to maintain contact with concrete and plaster surfaces. The result is a tool that seals to the pool floor, maximizes pump suction, and dislodges embedded dirt so you spend less time re-vacuuming and more time enjoying clear water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this vacuum head stay submerged and hold suction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vacuum head uses an internal counterweight that gives it a stable 4.2 lb mass so it remains on the pool floor instead of floating. That added weight helps form a more consistent seal against uneven or sloped surfaces so your pool pump pulls debris more reliably. The 1.5\" swivel hose connection also prevents hose lift and keeps the head tracking smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated 4.2 lb counterweight for steady, low-profile contact with the floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5\" swivel hose connection reduces hose drag and preserves suction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum body resists buoyancy changes caused by wear or water absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it actually scrub algae and stuck-on dirt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the head features a spring-loaded bristle assembly that maintains constant downward pressure against the surface, agitating deposits and lifting particles into the suction path.
