Product Overview

The Pentair #222 ProVac 22-Inch Commercial Vacuum Head | R201286 is a professional-grade manual pool vacuum designed for fast, effective cleaning of large concrete and commercial swimming pools. Its extra-wide 22-inch cleaning path covers more surface area with every pass, helping pool professionals reduce cleaning time while removing dirt, sand, leaves, and other settled debris from the pool floor.

Pentair’s ProVac design uses a unique suction chamber that distributes vacuum velocity across the width of the vacuum head. Full-width flexible strips help guide debris toward the suction chamber for more consistent pickup. Adjustable ball-bearing wheels allow the operator to change the distance between the vacuum head and pool surface, helping optimize suction and movement for different operating conditions.

Constructed with a metal swivel handle and stainless-steel wheel shaft, the #222 ProVac is built to withstand frequent use in hotels, schools, aquatic facilities, community pools, apartment complexes, and professional pool-service operations.

Specifications and Details

Efficient Commercial Pool Cleaning

The wide 22-inch body makes the ProVac #222 especially useful for facilities where cleaning speed matters. Compared with smaller residential vacuum heads, it cleans a larger section of the pool floor with each pass. This can reduce the amount of time required to maintain large swimming pools while still providing controlled manual cleaning around drains, slopes, corners, and high-debris areas.

Its adjustable wheels allow the operator to fine-tune the vacuum head’s clearance from the pool floor. Lower clearance can increase suction for heavier debris, while additional clearance may provide smoother movement when suction is strong.

Compatibility and Buyer Guidance

The R201286 connects to a compatible 1-1/2-inch pool vacuum hose and attaches to a standard compatible telescoping pool pole. The vacuum hose and pole are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

This vacuum head is primarily designed for durable concrete or plaster pool surfaces. Confirm suitability before using it on vinyl-lined, fiberglass, painted, or other delicate pool finishes.
