It is the genuine Hayward part, molded in plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow a weir works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weir is the hinged door across the skimmer throat. With the pump running, suction pulls it down just below the water line so only the top film of water spills over it, which is where the leaves, oils and dust are. That is the whole trick to surface skimming. When the pump shuts off, the weir floats back up and closes the throat, keeping everything already in the basket from washing back into the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flapper door measures approximately 5-1\/16 in. by 8-3\/8 in., and the hinge is 1 in. by 8-3\/4 in. by 1.5 in. Compare those against your old weir before ordering, since skimmer throats vary between models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stop pad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stop pad sets how far the door can travel. Without it the weir can lay over flat or jam in the throat, and the skimming action is lost even though the part looks like it is in place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48625727602900,"sku":"HAY-251-1891","price":39.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_11e167b8-8b39-40ed-a69c-81e007100fad.jpg?v=1788690155","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/sp1070-weir-assembly-with-stop-pad","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
