Description
BWT Aquareva skimmer weirs sand/beige – 40031543
The BWT Aquareva skimmer weirs sand 40031543 are original floating flaps for Aquareva, Ady and Série France skimmers.
Supplied as a set of two in a sand or beige colour, they restore correct surface skimming and provide a warm, discreet look at the skimmer mouth when the
original flaps are worn, broken or discoloured.

- Floating flap design that follows the water level for efficient surface skimming.

Compatibility and typical applications
These sand coloured weirs are used on several BWT Aquareva, Ady and Série France skimmers and are also listed for mirror skimmer systems equipped 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 that carries
floating debris towards the basket.
Always check the spare parts list or exploded view of your skimmer to confirm that the flap reference is 40031543 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, creating 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 collected debris inside the skimmer basket.
- Concentrates the flow at the waterline for better capture of floating debris.
- Reduces the amount of trapped dirt that can return to the pool when filtration stops.
- Contributes to a more stable operating level in the skimmer throat.
When to replace the skimmer weirs
Skimmer weirs are exposed to UV radiation, pool chemicals and continuous movement.
With time the hinge or side clips can weaken, the plastic can warp or the colour can fade, which affects both function and visual 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 sand colour has become strongly faded or stained.
Installation and adjustment guidelines
- Stop the filtration pump and remove the skimmer basket to obtain clear access to the flap.
- Unclip the old weir from its hinge supports as described in the skimmer documentation.
- Clean the hinge area and surrounding plastic to remove scale and dirt.
- 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 at rest.
- Reinstall the basket, restart filtration and observe the weir during a test run to verify smooth movement and correct floating level.
With correctly adjusted sand coloured weirs, the skimmer regains efficient surface cleaning and a warm, neutral look that coordinates with beige or light stone
coping around the pool.
