Why PST Customers Pick This
Wide 13" Throat
Waterway builds the wide-mouth Renegade with a 9" or a 13" throat. The 540-8550 is the 13" throat version with a 2" socket, in white.
PVC Sockets
PVC sockets give better glue joints. The 2" socket is also a 2-1/2" spigot for more flow, and a 1/2" socket takes an overflow hose.
Large Locking Basket
The large skimmer basket locks in place. Waterway lists the Renegade vinyl liner replacement basket, 519-3240B, at 8.12" diameter x 5.25" H.
Spring-Loaded Weir Door
An easy access, spring-loaded weir door simplifies replacement and installation.
Lock-Down Vacuum Plate
A lock-down vacuum plate is included. A float valve and a skimmer test kit are optional.
Steel and Polymer Walls
Waterway says the Renegade vinyl liner skimmer fits all currently manufactured steel and polymer walls, and is designed for vinyl liner steel, polymer or fiberglass pool walls.
