{"product_id":"skimmer-faceplate","title":"Baker Hydro Skimmer Faceplate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 51B1025 is the skimmer faceplate, or face frame, for Baker Hydro skimmers. It measures 12 inches by 9.63 inches and is supplied under both the Baker Hydro and Waterco names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faceplate is the trim ring around the skimmer opening. It squares up the throat, closes the gap between the skimmer body and the wall or deck, and gives the screws something solid to pull against. When it goes, the opening looks ragged and the screws no longer hold, which is usually where the trouble starts on an older skimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkimmer faceplates are brand specific and several of them look close enough to fool you at the pool store. Take the old frame off and measure it. If it is 12 inches by 9.63 inches you are in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRebuilding the skimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the faceplate alone. The weir door, the skimmer gasket and the vacuum plate are each their own part, so pick up whichever of those are also brittle while the skimmer is open.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634531446996,"sku":"BAK-061-7519","price":32.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_d430d299-6afa-43e7-8604-b0f46180f328.jpg?v=1788833960","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/skimmer-faceplate","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
