Pentair E-Z Vac Cleaner Hose Weight

This weight is designed to balance your suction cleaner hose underwater. By adding the correct amount of ballast, it prevents the hose from floating, which helps the cleaner maintain better contact with the pool floor and improves its overall tracking and cleaning pattern.

No, this specific part (model K12657) is engineered specifically for the Pentair E-Z Vac suction cleaner. While it may look similar to other weights, it is designed to integrate seamlessly with the E-Z Vac system to ensure optimal performance.

You likely need a new weight if you notice your cleaner's hose floating excessively or if the cleaner is struggling to navigate the pool floor effectively. If the hose is constantly pulling the cleaner head upward or causing it to flip, the weight is likely missing, damaged, or insufficient.

For the most effective operation, the weight should be placed at the specific interval recommended in your E-Z Vac owner's manual. Proper placement is crucial for achieving the right balance; if it is too close or too far from the cleaner head, it can negatively impact the cleaner's movement.
