Hayward SP11071 Skim-Vac Skimmer Vacuum Plate with Combo Elbow (Fits SP1089)
The Hayward SP11071 is an OEM Skim-Vac vacuum plate designed to connect a manual vacuum hose to compatible Hayward skimmers while keeping debris captured in the skimmer basket. It’s a simple, reliable way to vacuum your pool without routing debris through the pump strainer basket.
Fits / Compatibility
- Designed to fit Hayward skimmer model SP1089 (front access style)
- Works with standard manual vacuum hoses using the included elbow adapter
Key Features
- Vacuum through the skimmer basket to help keep leaves and debris out of the pump basket
- Includes a combo 90° elbow that accepts 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" vacuum hoses
- Skim-Vac plate diameter: 7-1/4" (7.25")
- Quick setup: place over the skimmer basket, attach hose, and vacuum
What’s Included
- 1 Skim-Vac vacuum plate
- 1 combo elbow adapter (fits 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" vacuum hoses)
Note: A rubber gasket is typically not included with this Skim-Vac plate. If your skimmer setup requires a gasket for best sealing, plan to replace it separately.
How It Works
- Turn the pump off.
- Place the Skim-Vac plate over the skimmer basket opening.
- Attach your vacuum hose to the elbow (use the size that matches your hose).
- Prime the hose as you normally would, then turn the pump back on and begin vacuuming.

Maintenance Tips
- Empty the skimmer basket frequently while vacuuming to maintain suction and protect pump flow.
- If suction is weak, check for air leaks at the hose connection and confirm the vacuum hose is fully primed.
- Rinse the Skim-Vac plate and elbow after use to remove grit that can wear seals and fittings.
- If your pump loses prime during vacuuming, inspect the skimmer lid, basket, and any gaskets for damage or poor sealing.
