Product details

Waterway 711-0070 is the replacement faceplate gasket for the FloPro wide mouth skimmer. It is the flat seal that sits between the face plate and the skimmer body, and it is what stops water finding its way out around the plate.

Why it fails

Gaskets in a skimmer throat spend their life compressed, wet and in the sun at the water line. Over a few seasons the material goes hard and takes a permanent set, and once that happens it will not spring back to seal again after the plate has been unbolted. A skimmer that seeps behind the face plate, or a wall that stays damp under the skimmer, usually points here before it points at the skimmer body.

Fitting

The wide mouth face plate uses its own gasket pattern, so it is worth laying the new gasket against the old one before you start. Clean the sealing faces on both the plate and the skimmer, seat the gasket dry unless the manual says otherwise, and pull the fasteners down evenly rather than tightening one side at a time.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does this gasket do?
It seals the joint between the skimmer face plate and the skimmer body, so water going into the skimmer cannot escape behind the plate.
Will it fit a standard Waterway skimmer face plate?
It is listed for the FloPro wide mouth skimmer. The wide mouth plate is a different shape, so measure against your existing gasket before ordering.
How many gaskets come in the pack?
One. This is a single gasket, part number 711-0070.
Do I need to replace it if the old one looks intact?
If the old gasket has gone hard, flat or cracked it will not reseal once it has been disturbed, so fitting a new one whenever the plate is removed is the safer habit.
