Description
Weltico skimmer barrier white 62341
The Weltico skimmer barrier white 62341 is a replacement weir flap for Weltico surface skimmers. It sits at the skimmer mouth and moves
with the water level to optimise surface skimming, reduce the return of floating debris to the pool, and limit the risk of air entering
the filtration circuit. This spare part is commonly used on Weltico A200, A400 and A500 skimmers in white finish and is available through
the dedicated spare parts range at PoolParthub.com.
Function of the skimmer barrier
The skimmer barrier, also called the weir flap, is a key functional part of the skimmer opening. When the pump is running, the flap tilts
towards the pool and creates a thin sheet of water that flows into the skimmer, concentrating floating debris such as leaves, insects and
surface oils. When the pump stops, the flap returns to a more vertical position, limiting backflow and keeping most debris inside the
basket area.
A damaged or warped skimmer barrier can reduce skimming performance and allow more debris to wash back into the pool. Replacing it with
the Weltico skimmer barrier white 62341 restores the correct movement and geometry at the skimmer mouth, which helps stabilise waterline
cleanliness and surface flow.
Design and compatibility
The Weltico skimmer barrier white 62341 is moulded in UV resistant white ABS to match standard white Weltico skimmers and to withstand
long term exposure to sunlight and pool water. The hinge geometry and width are designed to fit the original Weltico skimmer body and
barrier stops without modification.
- Replacement skimmer barrier for Weltico skimmers in white finish.
- Used on a range of models including A200, A400 and A500 skimmers.
- Hinged design that works with the original barrier stops and hardware.
For correct operation the skimmer barrier must be paired with suitable barrier stops and mounting screws as specified for the skimmer
model. Always verify the reference 62341 against the exploded view of your skimmer before ordering or installing the part.
Installation and adjustment
Installation of the Weltico skimmer barrier white 62341 is normally carried out from the pool side with the filtration system stopped.
In most cases the water level can remain within the normal operating range, provided there is enough access to the skimmer mouth and
fixing points.
- Switch off the filtration pump and secure the electrical controls.
- Remove the existing barrier by releasing the hinge fixings or screws.
- Check the barrier stops and hinge area for wear or damage and clean if necessary.
- Position the new skimmer barrier 62341 in the hinge location and refit the screws.
- Move the flap by hand to confirm free movement between open and closed positions.
After installation, restart the filtration system and observe the behaviour of the flap at different water levels. It should open
smoothly when the pump is running and return to a near vertical position when the pump stops, without sticking on the mouth or coping.
Operational benefits
A correctly functioning skimmer barrier has a direct impact on the visual appearance of the pool and on the load placed on downstream
filtration. By renewing the flap with the Weltico skimmer barrier white 62341, you optimise the hydraulic behaviour at the skimmer
opening and improve debris capture.
- More efficient removal of floating debris along the waterline.
- Reduced return of leaves and dirt into the pool when the pump is stopped.
- More stable skimming, helping to protect the pump from drawing in air.
These benefits are especially noticeable in outdoor pools exposed to wind, trees or frequent surface contamination, where the skimmer
plays a central role in day to day cleaning.
Maintenance and replacement intervals
Although made from UV stabilised ABS, the skimmer barrier is continuously exposed to sunlight, chlorine and mechanical movement. Over
time this can cause discolouration, stiff movement or deformation. Regular inspection allows you to plan preventive replacement with the
correct spare part.
- Check the flap seasonally for cracks, distortion or excessive stiffness.
- Verify that the hinge area and screws remain tight and corrosion free.
- Clean deposits from the top and sides of the barrier with a soft sponge.
If the flap no longer moves freely or no longer returns to the proper closed position, replacing it with the Weltico skimmer barrier
white 62341 is recommended to maintain reliable skimming performance and a clean waterline.
