Review: The Pentair 222 Pro Vac is an outstanding product. When our Hayward Phantom Turbo automatic pool cleaner became damaged, we obtained a Pentair 222 to manually clean our 40k gallon pool until the Phantom was repaired. The Pentair 222 connects to your pool pole just like a brush or net, and also connects to a vacuum hose which you insert into one of your skimmers at the suction line. You manually vacuum the pool with this product and it works exactly as advertised. It does not brush the gunnite, it vacuums sediment such as sand, pine needles, small leaves and worms up from the bottom. You will still want to brush your pool as usual after vacuuming with this tool. This tool offers several advantages over the automatic pool cleaners: 1) you can clean a specific area of your pool quickly (a few minutes) as opposed to waiting for an automatic pool cleaner to randomly pass over the area (could take hours to cover a specific location); 2) the Pentair (plus a hose and pole) is much less expensive than the automatic cleaners -- by an order of magnitude. 3) no additional pump and plumbing is necessary other than your main system pump and skimmer; 4) even cleaning the entire bottom is quicker with the Pentair than an auto-vac since you simply cover the bottom systematically just like when you brush it (my pool takes about an hour to do), as opposed to waiting 6-8 hours for the auto-vac to randomly cover all of the areas; 5) The Pentair does not work against its own purpose by causing turbulence all around itself the way the trailing sweep hose does on an auto-vac; 6) Our Hayward model 6060 booster pump failed after 5 seasons and required replacement. Since this pump is only there to power the Phantom Turbo auto-vac, that was a $500 cost that would never be required if I only used the Pentair 222. 7) since the auto-vac requires an additional electric pump for power, the Pentair reduces your carbon footprint and your electric bill, probably saving several hundred dollars per season. All in all, had I understood the ease of vacuuming my pool with the Pentair 222, I would never have installed the auto-vac system in our pool at all when we had it built. I discovered this product when our pool maintenance company came out to replace our booster pump for the auto-vac and they used a Pentair 222 to manually clean the pool bottom during the pump replacement installation. The Pentair 222 is well-built -- with heavy-duty rubber, silicone, and stainless steel components throughout. Even if I had to replace this every season, it would be much less expensive than the auto-vac system, but I expect it will last for many seasons given the high quality materials and construction. Pentair also offers a smaller, 14" wide model that is even less expensive and might be a good value for smaller pools; the Pentair 222 is the larger, 22" wide model and is appropriate for larger pools -- those over, say, 20k gallons.
Review: heavier and wider than our previous one, and so much better. Easy to fit, use and store.
