U.S. Pool Supply 16in Weighted Pool Vacuum Head — Nylon Side & Bottom Bristles, Swivel Hose

The U.S. Pool Supply 16" Weighted Pool Vacuum Head is a heavy-contact pool cleaner head with nylon side and bottom bristles that scrubs surfaces while maintaining suction across floors, walls and corners.

Keep your pool clean with a purpose-built vacuum head designed to combine firm scrubbing action and hands-on control. This 16-inch weighted head uses nylon bottom and side brushes to dislodge dirt and algae, while a weighted body and swivel hose connection maintain steady contact with the pool surface. It accepts common 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" hoses and includes two air-relief valves to help manage suction when maneuvering around slopes or delicate liners.

How does this vacuum head make scrubbing and debris removal easier?

The firm nylon bristles along the bottom and sides lift and sweep debris into the vacuum path while the weighted design holds the head flat against the surface. Together they reduce the number of passes needed and improve cleaning contact on uneven floors and in corners.

• 16" wide cleaning path covers more area per pass.
• Nylon bottom brushes loosen dirt; side bristles reach creases and seams.
• Weighted body ensures consistent contact on slopes and shallow ledges.
• Swivel hose connection prevents twisting for smoother pushes and pulls.

Will this vacuum head work with my pool hose and pole?

The head accepts both 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" hoses, the two most common sizes for manual pool cleaning, and connects with a standard swivel hose adapter. The handle uses EZ-clip buttons that latch to standard 1-1/4" telescopic poles for quick attachment and safe removal.

• Compatible with 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" vacuum hoses.
• Swivel hose connection reduces hose drag and tangling.
• EZ clip handle fits standard 1-1/4" pool accessory poles (pole not included).
• Two air-relief valves help control excess suction during maneuvers.

Is it safe for vinyl liners and delicate pool finishes?

Yes — the U.S. Pool Supply vacuum head is designed to be effective without aggressive abrasion. The nylon bristles provide firm scrubbing while remaining gentle enough for vinyl-lined pools when used with appropriate pressure.

• Nylon bristles clean efficiently without sharp edges that can score liners.
• Weighted design prevents snagging by keeping even contact rather than catching edges.
• Air-relief valves reduce sudden suction spikes that could stress delicate surfaces.

What features help with handling and longevity?

Practical details like the swivel hose connection and EZ-clip handle make operation easier and reduce wear on both the head and your pole. The durable molded body and bristles are built for repeated seasonal use and straightforward maintenance.

• Robust molded housing resists pool chemicals and UV exposure.
• EZ-clip buttons protect fingers and make pole changes safe and fast.
• Two air-relief valves are simple to inspect and keep performance consistent.
• Compatible hose sizes mean fewer adapters and less strain on fittings.

Who is this for: Homeowners and pool service professionals looking for a reliable, manual cleaning head that balances strong scrubbing power with gentle contact for vinyl or finished pools. It suits anyone who wants a wider cleaning path, secure pool-floor contact, and easier handling during routine maintenance and spot cleaning. Pair it with a standard telescopic pole and the right hose to add a durable, efficient tool to your pool-care routine.
