It is a new genuine Pentair part from the Rainbow and American Products range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the weir is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA skimmer with no working weir pulls water from the whole throat at once, slowly. With the weir in place, the opening is throttled down to a narrow slot at the surface, so the pump draws a fast thin sheet off the very top of the pool. That is the layer carrying floating leaves, pollen, insects and surface oils, and it is the whole reason a skimmer works better than a plain suction port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe second job\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weir also acts as a one way door. When the pump shuts off, it swings closed and keeps what you collected inside the basket instead of letting it float back out into the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigns it is time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeirs are consumable. Sun and sanitizer make them brittle, and they crack, waterlog or stop pivoting freely. If yours sticks, sinks, or lets debris escape at shutdown, replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634677002452,"sku":"RAI-60-2118","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_5561c9bd-a26b-4a30-9619-95aa3df26538.jpg?v=1788836290","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/oem-floating-weir","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
