Water flowing toward the pump pushes it inward, which narrows the opening and speeds up the surface flow so leaves and film get pulled in rather than drifting past. When the pump shuts down, the flap falls closed and holds whatever the skimmer collected inside the basket instead of letting it float back out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeir doors are among the shortest lived parts on a pool. Sun and chemistry make the plastic brittle, the pivot tabs snap, and a loose one often disappears entirely.
