Its job is mechanical: it clamps the face plate gasket flat so water cannot travel behind the wall or the liner at that opening. A cracked or warped plate stops applying even pressure and the leak follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReplacing it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrop the water below the skimmer, undo the screws and lift the old plate off. Fit a new gasket while the plate is off, since it is the same job and an old gasket will not seal against a new plate. Draw the screws down evenly rather than tightening one side fully first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua Genie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628809662676,"sku":"HYP-251-0001","price":45.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_1f225320-edca-4c9f-9041-5c2e71b3e8b9.jpg?v=1788752104","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/face-plate","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
