The integrated combo elbow accepts both 1-1\/4-inch and 1-1\/2-inch vacuum hose, so it works with the standard hose sizes in use on most residential pools. Because suction is routed through the skimmer rather than the main drain or pump strainer, vacuuming can begin and end without turning the pump off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHayward Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eSP11071\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Hose Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e1-1\/4 in and 1-1\/2 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits Skimmer Model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eSP1089 (front-access style)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGasket Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eNo — sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e610377047425\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePoolaroo Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore attaching the vacuum hose, prime it fully to remove air — a hose with trapped air will break suction at the Skim-Vac plate and interrupt vacuuming. Once the hose is connected and suction is confirmed, keep an eye on the skimmer basket; because all debris is now captured there rather than at the pump strainer, the basket fills faster during a thorough vacuuming session and should be emptied as needed to maintain flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-18 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54303482216723,"sku":"SP11071","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-skim-vac-ii-combo-elbow-for-hayward-skimmer-sp11071-3.webp?v=1783605722","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward_sp11071","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
