Flotide/MEGA - Skimmer Weir Flap - 7034363

Flotide/MEGA – Skimmer Weir Flap (Type Standard, Part No. 5)

This is the genuine Flotide/MEGA replacement weir flap (keyhole flap) for the Flotide/MEGA Type Standard skimmer, catalogued as part number 5 in the skimmer assembly. The weir flap sits at the mouth of the skimmer and pivots freely on its hinge pin, allowing surface water and debris to flow into the skimmer basket while preventing captured material from floating back into the pool when the pump is off.

Com funciona

As the pool pump draws water toward the skimmer, the flap swings open with the current, creating a thin-layer surface draw that efficiently pulls in leaves, insects, and other floating debris. When the pump stops, the flap returns to its closed position, acting as a backflow check and keeping collected debris inside the skimmer housing. A missing or damaged weir flap significantly reduces skimming efficiency and allows debris to re-enter the pool.

Compatibilitat

This weir flap is designed exclusively for the Flotide/MEGA Type Standard skimmer. It is not a universal part — always verify you have the Flotide/MEGA Standard skimmer model before ordering. The part number 5 designation refers to its position in the official Flotide/MEGA Standard skimmer parts diagram, making identification straightforward.

Instal·lació

Always switch off the pool pump before servicing the skimmer. Remove the old or broken flap by sliding or pressing out the hinge pin, then fit the replacement into the existing hinge slots. Once installed, push the flap gently to confirm it pivots smoothly and returns to the vertical resting position without sticking. No special tools are required for a standard replacement.
