Hayward SP11051 Skim-Vac Vacuum Plate (1½" Hose Adapter)
The Hayward SP11051 is a Skim-Vac vacuum plate designed for above-ground and wide-top-seat pools. It replaces or upgrades the vacuum plate on compatible skimmers — allowing you to vacuum through the skimmer instead of the pump strainer basket, which simplifies cleaning and reduces maintenance time.
Key Features
- Skim-Vac vacuum plate with a 1½" straight hose barb adapter — connects directly to standard vacuum hoses.
- 6" diameter plate fits securely over the skimmer basket for proper seal and suction during vacuuming.
- Heavy-duty, UV-resistant construction — built to withstand exposure to sun, pool chemicals, and regular use.
- Two-piece body design with built-in gasket for a watertight seal and easy installation.
- Enables vacuuming without turning pump off or switching baskets — useful for routine cleaning and debris removal.

Installation & Use
To vacuum your pool: attach a standard 1½" vacuum hose to the straight barb adapter, then place the plate over your skimmer basket so the built-in gasket seals against the skimmer rim. This setup creates suction through the skimmer basket for debris pickup without needing to access the pump strainer basket or interrupt your pump/system. After vacuuming, remove the plate and re-install your regular skimmer cover or basket setup.
Why Use SP11051
For pool owners with above-ground pools or wide-seat top skimmers operating on standard vacuum hoses, SP11051 simplifies vacuuming by using the skimmer basket rather than the pump strainer. This means less hassle, faster cleaning, and no need to stop or reconfigure your pump — a practical, cost-effective vacuum accessory for seasonal and regular pool maintenance.
