Description
BWT Aquareva skimmer flow regulator with screw set of 2 white 40031042
The BWT Aquareva skimmer flow regulator with screw 40031042 is the original adjustment flap that fits in the mouth of compatible skimmers.
Supplied as a set of two regulators in white, each with its fixing screw, this kit allows you to regulate or temporarily close the skimmer suction,
for example when balancing the hydraulic circuit or when using a bottom drain or vacuum point more intensively.

Function and typical applications
The skimmer flow regulator acts as an adjustable obturator that influences the volume of water drawn through the skimmer.
By changing its position or closing it, you can increase the relative flow through a bottom drain, vacuum point or another skimmer,
which helps to fine tune circulation and improve cleaning in specific areas of the pool.
The regulator can also be used to reduce skimmer suction in certain operating modes, for example when working at a lower water level or when
you want to limit the inflow of air near water features that disturb the surface.
Compatibility and identification
This kit is intended for BWT Aquareva skimmers and mirror skimmer installations where the spare parts list mentions “obturateur + vis / skimmer, les 2, blanc”
with reference 40031042. The regulators are mounted using the supplied screws in the locations provided by the skimmer manufacturer.
Before installation, check the exploded view or technical documentation of your skimmer.
If the drawing identifies part 40031042 as the flow regulator with screw, this set is the correct replacement for your system.
Installation guidelines
- Stop the filtration pump before working on the skimmer or any hydraulic component.
- Remove the skimmer basket to gain clear access to the mounting points for the flow regulator.
- If an old regulator is present, unscrew it carefully and clean the contact surfaces and mounting holes.
- Position the new BWT Aquareva flow regulator in the correct orientation as shown in the skimmer documentation.
- Fix the regulator using the supplied screw, tightening it until the part is secure but can still be adjusted if designed for variable opening.
- Reinstall the basket, restart the filtration and check the behaviour of the water level and suction at the skimmer.
Adjustment, maintenance and replacement
- Adjust the regulator to obtain a stable surface flow while maintaining adequate suction at the bottom drain or other intakes.
- Inspect the regulator periodically for deposits, scaling or deformation that could hinder movement.
- Clean the regulator and surrounding area with fresh water and a non abrasive sponge when performing routine skimmer maintenance.
- Replace the regulator set again if the plastic becomes brittle, cracked or if the fixing screw no longer holds securely.
Correct use of the BWT Aquareva skimmer flow regulator 40031042 helps to fine tune the hydraulic balance of the pool,
improve the efficiency of surface skimming and floor suction, and maintain reliable operation of both standard and mirror skimmer configurations.
