The skimmer flap is a floating weir located in the inlet part of the skimmer, which lets through the water surface with floating debris and at the same time prevents the captured waste from falling back out when the circulation pump stops.
The grey flap is an original spare part for Astral skimmers of the 11309, 11310, 11311, 11313 and 17109 series. Made of ABS plastic resistant to UV radiation and chlorinated water, with the grey colour matching the standard version of these models.
A damaged or missing flap reduces the efficiency of collecting debris from the surface and can cause the skimmer basket to become clogged with coarse leaf residue. Replacement is easy – the flap simply slides into the guides in the skimmer body without using tools.
