The Waterway 519-6480-R1 is a replacement snap-in style skimmer vacuum plate for select Waterway Renegade in-ground (gunite) skimmers. This plate sits on top of the skimmer basket opening and creates a sealed suction interface so you can connect a manual vacuum hose to the skimmer without removing the basket.

- Designed for Waterway Renegade in-ground skimmers (gunite applications)
- Helps route suction through the vacuum hose while the skimmer basket continues catching debris

Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the vacuum plate after use to remove sand and grit that can cause poor fit or wear.
- If the plate is hard to seat/remove, inspect for warping or debris buildup around the skimmer opening.
- Keep the skimmer basket clean before vacuuming to maintain strong suction and reduce pump strain.
- Store the plate out of direct sun when not in use to reduce UV-related brittleness over time.
