Weltico zandvanger - 62341S

Weltico sand skimmer barrier 62341S

The Weltico sand skimmer barrier 62341S is a replacement weir flap in sand colour for compatible Weltico surface skimmers. Mounted at the skimmer mouth, it pivots with the water level to optimise surface skimming, retain floating debris inside the skimmer and help protect the filtration circuit from drawing in air.

Werking van de skimmerbarrière

The skimmer barrier, also known as the weir flap, is an important hydraulic element of the skimmer opening. When the pump is running, the flap tilts towards the pool and creates a thin sheet of water entering the skimmer, concentrating floating dirt, insects, leaves and surface oils so they are directed into the skimmer basket. When the pump stops, the flap returns to a more vertical position, limiting backflow and keeping most debris inside the skimmer.

If the original flap becomes warped, cracked or stiff, surface skimming becomes less efficient and more debris can wash back into the pool. Replacing it with the Weltico sand skimmer barrier 62341S restores correct movement and geometry at the skimmer mouth, which improves waterline cleanliness and day to day surface cleaning.

Ontwerp en compatibiliteit

The Weltico sand skimmer barrier 62341S is moulded from uv resistant plastic in a warm sand tone that complements beige liners, stone effect finishes and sand coloured skimmer fronts. The width, profile and hinge geometry are designed to match compatible Weltico skimmer bodies that use the 62341 reference family.

• Replacement sand coloured skimmer barrier for selected Weltico surface skimmers.
• Hinged flap that works with the original barrier stops and hinge pins or screws.
• Sand finish that blends naturally with light stone and beige waterline designs.

For reliable operation, the barrier should be chosen according to the skimmer model and spare parts diagram. Using the dedicated 62341S reference helps ensure free movement and proper sealing on compatible Weltico skimmers.

Installatie en afstelling

Installation of the Weltico sand skimmer barrier 62341S is usually carried out from the pool side with the filtration system stopped. In many pools the water level can remain at its normal operating height as long as there is safe access to the skimmer mouth and hinge area.

• Schakel de filterpomp uit en zet de elektrische bedieningselementen vast.
• Verwijder de bestaande afscherming door de scharnierbouten, klemmen of pennen los te maken.
• Controleer en reinig de scharniersteunen en aanslagrubbers om vuil en kalkaanslag te verwijderen.
• Position the new skimmer barrier 62341S in the hinge location and refit the fixings.
• Move the flap by hand to confirm smooth travel between open and closed positions.

Start na de installatie het filtersysteem opnieuw op en controleer of de klep goed functioneert. De klep moet bij doorstroming soepel openen en, wanneer de pomp stopt, terugkeren naar een vrijwel verticale ruststand, zonder vast te lopen aan de opening van de skimmer of de rand van de randsteen.

Operationele voordelen

A correctly functioning skimmer barrier has a direct impact on daily water quality and hydraulic stability. Renewing the flap with the Weltico sand skimmer barrier 62341S helps ensure that surface water is drawn efficiently into the skimmer and that floating debris is retained in the basket instead of returning to the pool.

• Betere opvang van drijvend afval langs de waterlijn.
• Minder terugstroming van bladeren en vuil wanneer de circulatiepomp stopt.
• Stabieler afscheiden, waardoor er minder lucht in de aanzuigleiding terechtkomt.

Onderhouds- en vervangingsintervallen

De skimmerbarrière wordt gebruikt in een veeleisende omgeving, waar hij wordt blootgesteld aan zonlicht, gezuiverd water en voortdurende beweging. Na verloop van tijd kan dit leiden tot verkleuring, stroef lopende scharnieren of vervorming, wat de prestaties negatief beïnvloedt. Door regelmatige inspectie kunt u preventieve vervanging plannen met het juiste reserveonderdeel.

• Controleer de flap elk seizoen op scheuren, kromtrekken of overmatige stijfheid.
• Verify that hinge screws or pins remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Clean deposits from the top and sides of the barrier with a soft sponge and mild cleaner.

If the flap no longer moves freely, remains open or fails to return to its resting position, replacing it with the Weltico sand skimmer barrier 62341S is recommended to maintain reliable skimming performance and a clean, well controlled pool waterline.
