Product Overview
The Pentair EA20 is a white ballast float used in pressure-side pool cleaner systems to maintain proper buoyancy and allow the cleaner to climb walls effectively. It replaces worn or water-logged floats that reduce cleaning performance.
Key Features
- OEM replacement float designed for Pentair / Kreepy Krauly Legend, Legend II, Legend Platinum and similar cleaner models.
- White molded plastic construction, chosen for durability and chemical resistance.
- Simple drop-in replacement to restore cleaner balance and optimize operation.

- Cleaner performance declined after installation: Verify plumbing, booster flow and hose length are correct along with the float replacement.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the ballast float annually for cracks, discoloration or water ingress. Replacing a compromised float with the EA20 helps maintain optimal cleaning performance and avoids cleaner inefficiencies.
