Compatibility and typical applications
These bleu France weirs are used on several BWT Aquareva, Ady and Série France skimmers and are also listed for mirror skimmer systems
with Badu EasyFit option 4. They are mounted at the front of the skimmer throat and pivot with the water level to create a controlled surface flow.
Always check the spare parts list or exploded view of your skimmer to confirm that the flap reference is 40031243 and compare the shape of your existing
weir to the new part. If the reference and geometry match, this set is the correct replacement for your installation.
Function of the skimmer weir
The skimmer weir acts as a floating gate at the entrance of the skimmer.
When the filtration pump is running, water flows over the top of the flap, producing a thin surface current that captures leaves, insects and other floating particles.
When the pump stops, the flap rises and restricts backflow, helping to keep debris inside the basket.
- Concentrates the flow at the waterline for better capture of floating debris.
- Reduces the amount of collected dirt that can return to the pool when filtration stops.
- Contributes to a more stable water level in the skimmer throat during operation.
When to replace the skimmer weirs
Skimmer weirs are exposed to UV light, pool chemicals and continuous movement.
With time the hinge or side clips can weaken, the plastic can warp or the colour can fade significantly, which affects both function and appearance.
- Replace the weirs if they no longer float correctly or do not follow the water level smoothly.
- Replace the weirs if hinge pins, side tabs or clip-on parts are cracked or broken.
- Replace the weirs if they rub on the skimmer body or interfere with basket removal.
- Replace the weirs if the bleu France colour has become heavily faded or patchy.
Installation and adjustment guidelines
- Stop the filtration pump and remove the skimmer basket to access the flap easily.
- Unclip the old weir from its hinge supports following the instructions of the skimmer manufacturer.
- Clean the hinge area and surrounding surfaces to remove scale and debris.
- Position the new BWT Aquareva skimmer weir and clip the hinge pins or side tabs into the supports.
- Check that the flap can move freely and naturally tilts slightly towards the pool side at rest.
- Reinstall the basket, restart filtration and observe the weir during a test run to verify smooth movement.
With correctly adjusted bleu France weirs, the skimmer regains efficient surface cleaning and a consistent blue appearance that matches other Aquareva and Série France front accessories along the pool edge.
