Skimtrol S1800 Vac Plate 32703 Poolrite

Meet the Skimtrol S1800 Vac Plate (32703) from Poolrite — a purpose-built, adjustable auto bypass valve designed for suction vacuum cleaners. With a 229mm diameter, this vacuum plate integrates smoothly into standard pool suction setups, giving you precise control over flow and cleaner performance.

Why this matters in real-world use:

• Fine-tuned suction control: Adjust the bypass to balance flow between the cleaner and the rest of the system. This means steadier vacuuming, less peak suction, and fewer roller-coaster cleaning moments when corners or steps interrupt the path.
• Protects pump and equipment: By modulating the suction load, you reduce strain on the pump and filtration system during extended cleaning sessions, helping extend the life of your pool equipment.
• Consistent cleaning performance: A stable flow prevents the cleaner from stalling or losing grip on uneven surfaces, so you’ll enjoy more efficient debris pickup and thorough coverage.
• Simple compatibility: Specifically designed as a Poolrite vacuum plate solution, the S1800 32703 fits into common suction-line configurations, streamlining installation for many residential pools.

Who benefits most

Homeowners with variable pool cleanliness, older or high-flow pumps, or cleaners that struggle with suction spikes will notice a tangible difference. It’s particularly useful when you want to tailor cleaning intensity without swapping parts or tools again and again.

Practical tips for best results

• Install with the pool pump running to gauge the baseline suction and adjust the bypass for a balanced flow.
