Description

Restore Your Vacuum Performance

The Fairlocks manual vacuum head is widely regarded as the industry standard for professional swimming pool maintenance across Cyprus and Greece. However, even the most robust equipment requires occasional servicing to maintain peak efficiency. The Fairlocks G Pack (SKU 00271) is a comprehensive handle repair kit designed to replace the most common wear-and-tear components of the vacuum head’s handle assembly. By replacing the internal spring and pivot pins, you ensure that the vacuum head maintains the correct angle and pressure against the pool floor, which is vital for optimal suction and thorough debris removal. This kit allows you to extend the life of your professional cleaning tools without the cost of a full replacement.

Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Fairlocks Quality: This is an authentic OEM replacement kit, ensuring 100% compatibility with your existing 19-inch (480mm) Fairlocks vacuum head.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: The kit includes a high-grade stainless steel torsion spring and retaining clips, engineered to withstand the corrosive effects of chlorine, salt, and other swimming pool chemicals.
• UV-Stabilized Components: The white nylon pivot pins are manufactured from high-density, UV-stabilized materials to prevent the brittleness and cracking often caused by intense Cyprus sunlight.
• Complete Repair Solution: Includes the handle spring, two pivot pins, and the necessary circlips, providing a total overhaul for your vacuum’s handle mechanism in one package.
• Enhanced Maneuverability: Restores the ‘spring-back’ action of the handle, making it significantly easier to navigate tight corners, steps, and floor-to-wall transitions.

Technical Specifications

The G Pack is specifically tailored for both the Domestic and Commercial Fairlocks manual vacuum heads. The kit contains a heavy-duty torsion spring made from marine-grade stainless steel, two precision-molded white nylon pins (Part P23), and stainless steel E-clips (Part P24). These components are designed to fit the standard handle fork assembly perfectly, providing a secure yet flexible connection point for any standard telescopic pool pole. This hardware is built to industrial standards, ensuring it can handle the rigors of daily commercial pool cleaning.

How to Use & Installation

Installing the Fairlocks G Pack is a straightforward process that can be completed in minutes with basic tools. Begin by removing the old, worn pins and any broken spring fragments from the handle assembly using a pair of pliers to release the existing circlips. Once the handle is detached, position the new stainless steel torsion spring within the handle fork. Align the handle with the vacuum head body and slide the new white nylon pins through the mounting holes. Finally, snap the new circlips onto the ends of the pins to lock the assembly firmly in place. Regularly checking these components for wear will prevent sudden failure during your cleaning schedule.

Why Choose Genuine Fairlocks Parts?

In the demanding Cyprus pool market, reliability is paramount. While generic parts may seem cost-effective initially, only genuine Fairlocks components like the G Pack offer the exact tolerances required to keep your vacuum head balanced and articulating correctly. Using original parts prevents unnecessary stress on the vacuum body and ensures that your cleaning equipment lasts for many seasons, even with heavy use in large residential or commercial pools. It is the most cost-effective way to maintain the “Big Yellow” vacuum’s legendary performance.

Ideal For

This kit is an essential purchase for private pool owners who manage their own maintenance and want professional results. It is also a staple for professional pool cleaning companies in Cyprus and Greece who require reliable spare parts for their daily service routes. If your vacuum handle feels limp, disconnected, or has lost its ability to pivot correctly, the G Pack is the definitive solution to bring your equipment back to life.
