The skimmer flap, also called a weir, is a key regulating element of the skimmer. During pump operation it opens and allows surface water with impurities to be drawn in, and when the pump stops it closes and prevents the captured impurities from being released back into the pool.
The replacement flap for the 1606824 skimmer is made of durable plastic resistant to UV radiation and pool chemistry. Cracked or stiff flaps significantly reduce the effectiveness of skimming – their replacement is quick and straightforward.
