A damaged or deteriorated gasket allows debris-laden water to circumvent the basket entirely, reducing vacuuming effectiveness and potentially allowing particulate matter to pass through the system. Replacing this gasket restores the airtight seat the basket depends on to function correctly.\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\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eR36002\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eGasket, Large\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 Basket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eR36009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFits Into\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\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003ePentair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eVac-Mate® Vacuum\/Skimmer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eR211100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eFits R36009 basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompatibility is based on Pentair parts documentation and available OEM records.
