Flotide/MEGA Skimmer, Type Standard exploded view & spare parts

Flotide/MEGA Skimmer, Type Standard — exploded view & spare parts

This page presents the full exploded-view diagram and bill of materials for the Flotide/MEGA Skimmer, Type Standard, carrying factory reference 7018789. Flotide/MEGA is a pool product brand distributed through MegaGroup, and the Type Standard skimmer is their wall-mounted, through-wall surface-skimming unit suited to liner pools and comparable installations. The diagram breaks the skimmer down into every serviceable component — from the lid and basket right through to gaskets, flap assemblies, and plumbing adaptors — so you can pinpoint the exact part you need without having to guess. Match your failed or worn component against the numbered call-outs below and you should have your SKU in hand within a few minutes.

Com utilitzar el diagrama numerat per trobar la teva peça

Every circled number in the exploded-view diagram corresponds directly to a numbered row in the parts list table beneath it; the two are always in sync, so position 4 in the diagram is position 4 in the table. The most efficient approach is to identify the general area of the skimmer where your issue lies — for example, the flap assembly, the lid area, or the plumbing connection — then narrow down to the specific call-out number within that area. Once you have the position number, locate the matching row in the table to find the SKU you need to add to your basket. Bear in mind that some position numbers in this diagram have no SKU listed: positions 6 (Skimmer body 1), 10 (Screw 4), and 13 (1.5″ Union convertor) are shown in the diagram for reference but are not currently offered as individual spare parts on this site. If a position number appears to point to more than one identical fastener or fitting in the diagram — as is common with screw sets at position 10 — that single line in the table covers all instances of that fastener across the unit. Finally, always read the position description carefully before ordering; even where there is no lettered variant (such as 10a/10b) in this particular BOM, the descriptions contain important detail — for instance, position 11 specifies gaskets sized for a liner pool, which differs from gaskets used in other pool types.

Main replaceable assemblies on the Flotide/MEGA Skimmer, Type Standard

The skimmer is logically grouped into four areas, each containing several individually replaceable parts. At the top of the unit sit the two lid options: position 1 is the circular skimmer lid (SKU 7034359) and position 2 is the square lid complete with its lidframe (SKU 7034360) — the diagram makes clear which lid profile was fitted to your particular installation, and only the correct one needs to be ordered. Directly below the lid, position 3 covers the vacuum plate with plug (SKU 7034361), which provides the suction point for connecting a manual vacuum hose; this is a common wear item and worth inspecting whenever suction performance drops. The debris-collection zone is served by position 4, the skimmer basket (SKU 7034362), which should be checked and cleaned regularly and replaced when the mesh or body shows cracking. The flow-regulation assembly comprises the keyhole flap at position 5 (SKU 7034363), the hinge flap at position 8 (SKU 7034365), and the flap retaining clip at position 7 (SKU 7034364); these three components work together to maintain a consistent water draw and are frequently the first parts to degrade due to continual movement and UV exposure. For liner-pool installations, position 9 provides the adaptor frame (SKU 7034366), while position 12 supplies the small skimmer frame (SKU 7034368) and position 11 the small skimmer gaskets for liner pools (SKU 7034367) — these frame and gasket components are critical for achieving a watertight seal through the pool wall. Position 13 shows the 1.5″ union convertor from metric to imperial threading, which is present in the diagram to illustrate the plumbing interface but is not listed with an individual SKU at this time.

Choosing between variants and pack sizes

This BOM does not carry lettered sub-variants (such as 10a/10b for different sizes of the same part), so each position number maps to one specific component. The most important choice on this skimmer is between the two lid types at positions 1 and 2: the circular lid (7034359) and the square lid with lidframe (7034360) are not interchangeable, so confirm the shape of your existing lid surround before ordering. Position 10 is listed as “Screw 4″, indicating a set of four screws; because no SKU is currently assigned, please use the contact or enquiry function on this site if you need to source this fastener set. Similarly, if your installation requires the 1.5” union convertor at position 13 to adapt from metric pipework to an imperial fitting, contact us directly as this item does not carry an active SKU at present. For the liner-pool gasket set at position 11 (SKU 7034367), note that these are specifically sized for the Type Standard frame — using gaskets intended for a different skimmer model risks an imperfect seal and potential water ingress behind the pool wall lining.
