Description
The Pentair Debris Basket (R36009) is the OEM replacement debris basket for the Pentair Vac-Mate Vacuum/Skimmer (R211100), sold individually.
What It Does
The debris basket captures leaves, dirt, and coarse debris drawn through the Vac-Mate skimmer attachment before they can reach the pump and filtration system. Replacing a cracked, warped, or missing basket restores the Vac-Mate’s debris-trapping performance and protects downstream equipment from blockage.

Pro Tip
Before ordering, confirm the model number stamped on your Vac-Mate unit matches R211100. If your existing basket is cracked along the rim, or no longer seats securely in the Vac-Mate housing, this is the correct replacement. Inspect the basket each season and replace it at the first sign of structural damage to maintain full debris capture.
