Skimmer suction plate

Optimise the cleaning of your pool with our skimmer suction plates!

The suction plate, also called a Skim Vac, is the accessory that connects the hose of your manual vacuum or hydraulic robot directly to the skimmer. Placed above the basket, it lets you use the power of the filtration pump to vacuum up impurities from the bottom of the pool while still benefiting from the skimmer basket's pre-filtration. At Jardiboutique, we offer a selection of replacement suction plates that are sturdy and perfectly watertight.

Find models suited to market standards and reference brands such as Hayward, AstralPool, Weltico or Pentair. Available with or without an adjustable elbow, our suction plates guarantee an airtight connection to avoid any air intake that could prime out your pump. Whether you need a round, square, or specific-seal plate, you'll find the ideal spare part here to make maintaining your water easier.

Jardiboutique's technical tip: Before installing your suction plate, make sure the skimmer basket is properly in place and clean. The plate needs to sit perfectly flat to create an effective suction-cup effect. If you notice a loss of suction, check the condition of the seal under the plate (if it has one), or make sure your floating hose is fully filled with water before connecting it, to purge all the air from the circuit!
