Pentair EA20 – White Ballast Float
Product Overview
The Pentair EA20 is a white ballast float used in pressure-side pool cleaner systems to maintain proper buoyancy and allow the cleaner to climb walls effectively. It replaces worn or water-logged floats that reduce cleaning performance.
Key Features
- OEM replacement float designed for Pentair / Kreepy Krauly Legend, Legend II, Legend Platinum and similar cleaner models.
- White molded plastic construction, chosen for durability and chemical resistance.
- Simple drop-in replacement to restore cleaner balance and optimize operation.
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: EA20
- Color: White
- Application: Ballast float for pressure-side cleaners
Applications & Compatibility
This float is compatible with many pressure-side pool cleaners such as the Kreepy Krauly Legend, Legend II, Platinum, Letro Legend models and associated feed mast assemblies. Confirm your cleaner model before purchasing to ensure fit.
Installation Instructions
- Turn off the pool cleaner and any booster pump if used.
- Remove the existing float from the feed mast assembly—check for water intrusion or damage.
- Slide the new EA20 float into position, ensuring it is seated correctly and the feed mast connections are secure.
- Restore the cleaner system and observe operation—ensure the cleaner climbs walls and performs as expected.
Troubleshooting
- Cleaner won’t climb walls or gets weighed down: Check if the float is water-logged or cracked; replace with EA20 if needed.
- Float is loose on mast: Ensure clamp or fastener is tight and float is properly positioned.
- Cleaner performance declined after installation: Verify plumbing, booster flow and hose length are correct along with the float replacement.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the ballast float annually for cracks, discoloration or water ingress. Replacing a compromised float with the EA20 helps maintain optimal cleaning performance and avoids cleaner inefficiencies.
