A&A In-Floor Pool Cleaning Systems & Parts
Build cleaner, better-circulated pools with A&A in-floor systems engineered to move debris while distributing filtered and treated water throughout the vessel. The brand’s cleaning heads, water valves, debris-management products, and circulation technologies are designed to make the pool itself an active part of the cleaning system.

A&A FAQs
Pentair added A&A Manufacturing's in-floor cleaning products to its pool portfolio in 2020. These systems combine sequenced floor or step jets with circulation and debris-management components designed around the original pool layout.
What components are used in an A&A in-floor system?
Common components include a water-distribution valve, pop-up cleaning heads, nozzles, debris canisters, drain fittings and model-specific internal parts.
How do I identify the correct cleaning head?
Match the head family, body style, nozzle opening, color, installation collar and any molded part number.
Are A&A cleaning heads interchangeable between systems?
Not automatically. Different generations and applications can use distinct heads, collars, tools and flow nozzles.
Why are some cleaning heads not popping up?
Possible causes include low flow, clogged nozzles, valve problems, air leaks or worn heads. Diagnose system pressure and sequencing before replacing parts.
How do I identify the distribution valve?
Use the lid, housing and internal module markings, port count and plumbing layout. Do not select only by outside appearance.
What does the distribution valve do?
It directs filtered water to groups of cleaning heads in sequence so different zones operate during the cleaning cycle.
When should valve internals be serviced?
Inspect when zones stop rotating, remain stuck or lose performance after normal filtration and pump issues have been ruled out.
What is the purpose of a debris canister?
A canister captures larger debris before it reaches downstream equipment. Basket, lid, O-ring and housing parts must match the exact model.
Can I change nozzle size to increase cleaning force?
Nozzle changes alter flow and hydraulic balance. Use only the size specified for the zone or approved by a qualified system technician.
What information helps identify A&A parts?
Provide system model, approximate installation year, part numbers, head and valve photos, port count, color and measured dimensions.
About A&A
A&A Manufacturing developed specialized in-floor pool cleaning and circulation products beginning in 1982. The company built its reputation around systems that use pop-up cleaning heads and sequenced water distribution to sweep debris while improving circulation across the pool floor and other low-flow areas.
Its purpose has centered on reducing routine pool-cleaning demands while promoting more complete movement of filtered and chemically treated water. Rather than relying only on a portable cleaner, an A&A system is integrated into the pool’s plumbing and structure to provide scheduled cleaning and circulation from multiple zones.
The A&A portfolio has included QuikClean and Gamma cleaning heads, multiport water valves, debris-removal systems, water-leveling products, and components for new installations and established systems. Its technologies have been used in residential pools, commercial pools, spas, fountains, and other aquatic environments.
Pentair acquired A&A Manufacturing in 2020, adding the company’s in-floor cleaning and circulation expertise to Pentair’s pool-equipment portfolio. The A&A name continues to represent purpose-built systems focused on cleaner surfaces, improved water movement, and automated pool care.
