Astral Shark - Flexible pool vacuum head with 8 wheels
Flexible pool vacuum head with 8 wheels
The flexible pool vacuum head with 8 wheels is a classic manual cleaner for liner and concrete pools. Thanks to its articulated body and wheeled chassis, it follows the contours of the pool floor smoothly and helps you remove sand, leaves and other sediments with the help of your pool pump and a standard vacuum hose.
Flexible body for better floor contact
The multi section body of this vacuum head is designed to flex slightly as you move across the floor. This improves contact with the surface, so the suction slot remains close to the pool bottom even on gentle slopes or in areas where the floor is not perfectly flat. The result is more efficient debris pickup with fewer missed spots.
Eight wheels for smooth and stable movement
Equipped with eight wheels, this vacuum head glides smoothly over the pool floor and keeps the suction plate at a constant height. The wheels help prevent the head from sticking due to pump suction and reduce the effort needed to move it back and forth with a telescopic pole during cleaning.
Connection and compatibility
The flexible pool vacuum head with 8 wheels fits a standard telescopic pole and is compatible with common pool vacuum hoses. Once connected to the skimmer or dedicated suction port, the suction from the filter pump pulls dirt and debris into the filter, leaving the pool floor visibly cleaner.
- Suitable for most private in ground and above ground pools.
- Designed for use with standard pool vacuum hoses.
- Connects to a telescopic pole for easy manual control.
This type of manual vacuum is a practical choice as a primary cleaner for smaller pools or as a backup for robotic cleaners when targeted cleaning is needed.
When to use a flexible 8 wheel vacuum head
The flexible pool vacuum head with 8 wheels is ideal for regular maintenance as well as occasional deep cleaning. It is particularly effective after storms, heavy bather load or when fine dirt settles on the pool floor and is not fully removed by a skimmer or surface net.
- Weekly floor cleaning during the swimming season.
- Removing settled sand, dust and small leaves.
- Support cleaning after opening the pool in spring.
Used together with correct filtration and water balance, a manual vacuum head helps keep the pool floor visually clean and supports clear, inviting water.
