Pro Tip
The vacuum plate is an optional accessory on Bermuda Gunite Skimmers your skimmer may not have shipped with one originally. Before ordering, check that your skimmer basket opening accepts a vacuum plate insert, and confirm the color matches your skimmer body and deck finish. White is the standard color for most Bermuda installations; if your skimmer surround is a different color, verify against the part number stamped on any existing fittings in the skimmer.
