{"product_id":"venturi-skimmer-w-lt-gry-lid","title":"Paramount Venturi Skimmer with Light Gray Lid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Paramount venturi skimmer is a wall skimmer built around a patented venturi nozzle, supplied with a light gray deck lid. Part number 004702100208.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the venturi matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conventional skimmer depends entirely on how much water the pump is moving. Turn a variable speed pump down to save energy and the skimming falls off with it, so leaves and pollen sit on the surface until someone turns the pump back up. The venturi nozzle changes that. It keeps a working skimming action at low pump speeds, which means the energy savings from slow running do not come at the cost of a dirty water line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeir door and lid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weir door is notched rather than flat. The notch keeps flow moving through the door at lower speeds and gives debris fewer places to wedge itself. The deck lid is designed so the inside of the skimmer throat stays fully open, which makes basket removal and general access straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVacuum connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nozzle sits offset in the throat, leaving clear room to drop a vacuum hose onto the fitting. That is a small detail that matters every time you manually vacuum the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627855589588,"sku":"PMT-25-3136","price":305.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_ab7349e1-afbc-4a50-9698-f19631ca5e72.jpg?v=1788728425","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/venturi-skimmer-w-lt-gry-lid","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
