The plate fits securely over the skimmer opening and seals tightly when a vacuum hose is attached — ensuring maximum suction and minimal bypass. Lightweight yet rugged, the 920 plate allows pool owners and technicians to perform vacuuming quickly and safely, whether removing debris, leaves, or fine particles. Durable materials ensure reliable sealing and repeated use season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"753\" data-start=\"739\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1630\" data-start=\"755\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"940\" data-start=\"755\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"940\" data-start=\"757\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"787\" data-start=\"757\"\u003eSkimmer-to-Vac Conversion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turns compatible Pentair Admiral skimmers into vacuum-ready ports — perfect for pool surface and floor cleaning.\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\" class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1109\" data-start=\"941\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1109\" data-start=\"943\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"965\" data-start=\"943\"\u003eSecure Fit \u0026amp; Seal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snaps firmly over the skimmer throat to create a tight, suction-optimized seal for efficient vacuuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1276\" data-start=\"1110\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1276\" data-start=\"1112\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1138\" data-start=\"1112\"\u003eLightweight \u0026amp; Durable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed to be easily handled while resisting pool chemicals and repeated installation cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1455\" data-start=\"1277\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1455\" data-start=\"1279\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1299\" data-start=\"1279\"\u003eEasy to Install:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simple to mount — no special tools needed, just replace the skimmer basket with the vac plate and attach your hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1630\" data-start=\"1456\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1630\" data-start=\"1458\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1485\" data-start=\"1458\"\u003eVersatile Cleaning Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for leaf, debris, and sediment removal — a handy maintenance tool for both homeowners and pros.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePentair American Admiral Skimmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"393\" data-end=\"412\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"834\"\u003eThe Aladdin 920 Vacuum Plate Adapter converts compatible Pentair Admiral S15\/S20 skimmers into suction-ready vacuum ports, allowing debris removal without using a dedicated vacuum line. This FAQ supports walk-in customers at Discount Pool Mart who want to confirm fitment, understand installation, and avoid common setup issues. These details help ensure the 920 vac plate works correctly before you pick one up in store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"864\"\u003eCompatibility and Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"1044\"\u003eCustomers often want to verify that the 920 fits their skimmer housing and works with their vacuum hose. This section outlines what to check before coming into Discount Pool Mart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003eHow do I confirm the 920 vac plate fits my Pentair Admiral skimmer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1378\"\u003eThe 920 is engineered for Pentair Admiral S15 and S20 skimmers. If your skimmer lid or basket markings match those models, the plate should snap securely. Many walk-in customers bring a photo of their skimmer throat to confirm compatibility before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1448\"\u003eWill the Aladdin 920 work with most standard pool vacuum hoses?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1657\"\u003eYes, the vacuum port accepts typical residential vacuum hose fittings. Once attached, the plate seals against the skimmer opening to maximize suction. Ensuring your hose end isn’t cracked helps prevent leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eCan I use the 920 if my skimmer basket is worn or slightly misshapen?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"1972\"\u003eAs long as the skimmer throat remains intact, a worn basket usually does not affect the vac plate’s seal. The plate rests above the basket area and forms its own seal. If unsure, Discount Pool Mart staff can check your photos for fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1974\" data-end=\"2008\"\u003eInstallation and Vacuuming Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2009\" data-end=\"2175\"\u003eLocal customers often ask about suction loss, hose attachment, and how the plate should perform during vacuuming. This section covers practical installation guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2225\"\u003eHow do I install the Aladdin 920 vac plate?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2414\"\u003eRemove the basket, place the vac plate over the skimmer opening, and connect the hose to the central port. The plate should sit flat and seal when the pump is running. No tools are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2416\" data-end=\"2476\"\u003eWhy might suction feel weak after installing the plate?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2730\"\u003eCommon reasons include air in the hose, debris lodged in the hose cuff, or the plate not sitting fully flat. Priming the hose first and checking the plate’s alignment usually resolves the issue. Many customers test suction before starting a full vacuum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2732\" data-end=\"2796\"\u003eHow can I prevent the plate from shifting during vacuuming?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2797\" data-end=\"3014\"\u003eEnsure the plate is centered over the opening and that the hose is submerged before attaching. A centered plate maintains a tight seal while vacuuming debris or leaves. If it lifts, reduce hose tension and reposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3016\" data-end=\"3053\"\u003eIn-Store Pickup and Local Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3054\" data-end=\"3184\"\u003eCustomers often stop by for verification or additional vacuuming supplies.

Calling ahead helps confirm availability. Many walk-in customers pick up replacement baskets or hoses at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"3460\" data-end=\"3520\"\u003eShould I bring my skimmer basket or lid to confirm fit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3521\" data-end=\"3690\"\u003eBringing photos or the actual basket helps staff confirm you have an Admiral S15 or S20 system. This avoids multiple trips and ensures proper compatibility with the 920.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"3692\" data-end=\"3756\"\u003eDo customers typically need extra accessories with the 920?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3757\" data-end=\"3924\"\u003eSome purchase new hose cuffs or vacuum heads if their current equipment is worn.
