It is the genuine Pentair part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the weir matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weir is the hinged door that floats in the mouth of the skimmer. It sits just at the waterline and forces the incoming water to pass over a narrow lip, which speeds the surface flow up and pulls floating leaves, pollen and oils toward the skimmer instead of letting them drift past. It also acts as a one way gate: when the pump shuts off, the weir drops closed and keeps the contents of the basket from washing back into the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen it needs replacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeirs crack, warp and lose buoyancy. If yours is stuck flat, floating too high to seal, chipped at the hinge or simply gone, the skimmer is doing far less than it should and debris will sit on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634161627348,"sku":"PAC-251-9438","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_03da71d1-dc48-46fd-a17e-4b65899865d2.png?v=1788826026","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/weir-blk","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
