{"product_id":"9-3-8-skimmer-weir","title":"SuperPro 9-3\/8\" Spring Loaded Skimmer Weir","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SuperPro 940 is a spring loaded skimmer weir measuring 9 3\/8 inches long, 5 1\/4 inches wide and 1 1\/8 inches thick. The foam float is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the weir does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weir is the hinged flap in the mouth of the skimmer. It floats up to the surface and accelerates the thin top layer of water into the basket, which is where leaves, pollen and oils sit. When a weir cracks, sticks or goes missing, surface debris drifts back out into the pool between pump cycles and the skimmer stops earning its keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstalling it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis weir is sprung, and it ships compressed with a plastic line running through it to hold the spring. Seat the weir in the skimmer throat first and only then pull the line. Releasing the spring early makes the part awkward to fit and can pop it out of your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the three measurements against the weir you are replacing. Skimmer throats vary between makes, and a weir that is a quarter inch out will either bind or sit loose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aladdin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634810433748,"sku":"SPG-251-2010","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_a724cac1-7014-4578-91b7-84ad48c3acca.gif?v=1788837747","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/9-3-8-skimmer-weir","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
