Fairlocks P3 Flap Replacement for 19″ Vacuum Head

Description

Restore Your Fairlocks Vacuum Performance

The Fairlocks manual vacuum head is widely regarded as the gold standard in pool cleaning equipment, known for its rugged durability and exceptional suction. However, even the toughest professional tools require maintenance to stay in top shape. The Fairlocks Flap P3 is a critical service part that restores the articulated movement and suction efficiency of your 19-inch (46cm) vacuum head. Manufactured in the United Kingdom to exacting standards, this genuine replacement part ensures that your cleaning system maintains the high performance expected by pool professionals in Cyprus and Greece.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Articulation: The P3 Flap acts as the central hinge point that allows the vacuum head to flex. This flexibility is vital for maintaining a tight seal against the pool surface, even when moving over curved sections or transitioning to vertical walls.
• High-Impact Polycarbonate: Built to withstand the harsh chemicals and intense UV exposure common in Mediterranean swimming pools, the heavy-duty material ensures a long service life and resists becoming brittle over time.
• Optimized Suction Flow: Acting as a baffle, the flap directs water and debris into the central suction stream, preventing “blow-by” and ensuring that every pass picks up maximum dirt and debris.
• Corner Cleaning Capability: Its unique design facilitates a “climbing” action, allowing the brush to reach deep into 90-degree corners where algae and dirt often accumulate.
• Genuine Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Fairlocks 19″ frame, it integrates perfectly with the P4 Flap Seal and P5 Seal Clips for a seamless, airtight repair.

Technical Specifications

This replacement part is identified by SKU 00267 and part number P3. It is constructed from a specialized yellow polycarbonate that is both rigid and resilient.

How to Install and Maintain

Replacing the P3 Flap is a straightforward process that can be completed in minutes without specialized tools. Simply remove the old or damaged flap by releasing the P5 seal clips. Align the new P3 Flap with the vacuum head frame and secure it back into place. To extend the life of your Fairlocks components in the Cyprus sun, always rinse your vacuum head with fresh water after use in chlorinated or salt-water pools and store it in a shaded area when not in use.
