{"product_id":"complete-vinyl-skimmer-standard-grey","title":"Waterway Complete Vinyl Skimmer, Standard, Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the Waterway 540-8407, the complete standard vinyl skimmer in grey. It arrives as the full unit rather than as a collection of replacement pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl versus concrete skimmers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vinyl skimmer is built to seal against a liner wall, with the face plate and gasket arrangement that a liner installation needs. It is not interchangeable with a skimmer designed to be poured into a concrete shell, so match the type to the pool before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen a complete unit is the right call\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLids, baskets and weirs are all replaceable on their own, and if that is all that has failed, buy the piece. A complete skimmer is what you want when the body itself is cracked or split. Water escaping behind a liner is difficult to trace and expensive to ignore, and patching a broken skimmer body rarely holds. This unit is listed in grey with a 2 inch inground plumbing connection, so check both against what is on the pool now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633644024020,"sku":"WWP-25-8407","price":168.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_d1ccac66-060f-46cd-99ca-42715fb9b9e9.jpg?v=1788808211","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/complete-vinyl-skimmer-standard-grey","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
