Fairlocks 19″ Heavy Duty Manual Pool Vacuum Head

Description

The Professional Standard for Manual Pool Cleaning

The Fairlocks Manual Vacuum Cleaner is widely regarded by industry experts as the most effective manual suction head ever designed. In the demanding climate of Cyprus, where wind-blown dust and Mediterranean debris can quickly compromise your swimming pool’s clarity, having a reliable, heavy-duty cleaning tool is essential. This unit is engineered to streamline your maintenance routine, offering a significantly wider cleaning path and superior suction compared to standard vacuum heads. Its iconic yellow design is a hallmark of quality found in professional pool service kits across the region.

Key Features & Benefits

• Articulating Hinged Body: The unique central hinge allows the vacuum to transition seamlessly between the pool floor and walls, maintaining suction even in tight 90-degree corners.
• Weighted Stability: Weighing approximately 4kg, the head stays firmly planted on the pool floor, ensuring maximum debris pickup without the need for excessive downward pressure.
• 19-Inch Cleaning Path: The extra-wide profile covers more ground in a single pass, significantly reducing the time spent on manual vacuuming.
• Centrally Mounted Brush: A full-width brush strip agitates stubborn dirt and directs it straight into the suction stream for a thorough clean.
• 8-Wheel System: Provides smooth, stable movement across all pool surfaces, preventing the head from sticking or dragging.
• Dual-Fit Connection: Features a versatile hose attachment compatible with both 1.5-inch (38mm) and 2-inch (51mm) vacuum hoses.

Technical Specifications

• Width: 48.26 cm (19 inches).
• Weight: 4 kg.
• Pump Requirement: Minimum 0.5 HP filtration pump recommended for optimal performance.

How to Use & Application

Operating the Fairlocks vacuum is straightforward. Simply attach your standard telescopic pole to the multi-fit handle using the provided butterfly nuts. Connect your vacuum hose to the dual-fit nozzle; for most residential pools in Cyprus, a 1.5-inch hose is standard, while commercial setups may utilize the 2-inch port. Submerge the head, prime the hose to remove air, and connect it to your skimmer or dedicated vacuum point. Move the head in slow, overlapping strokes for the best results. The articulating wheels and hinged body will guide you effortlessly over floor-to-wall joins and around steps.

Why Choose the Fairlocks System?

Unlike disposable plastic vacuum heads, the Fairlocks is a long-term investment. Every single component—from the brushes and wheels to the internal flappers—is fully replaceable. This serviceability ensures that your vacuum head can last for decades with minor maintenance. Its robust construction handles the intense UV rays and chemical levels of Cyprus pools without becoming brittle, making it the most cost-effective choice for serious pool owners and maintenance professionals alike.

This vacuum head is the perfect choice for large residential villas, hotel swimming pools, and professional pool maintenance contractors. It is safe and highly effective on all pool finishes, including tiles, mosaic, liner, fiberglass, and painted concrete surfaces. Whether you are dealing with fine silt or larger leaves, the Fairlocks head provides the power and precision needed for a spotless result.
