NORMAL OPERATION
Water passes over the weir door, down through the basket and float valve assembly to
the pump. The trimmer plate on the float valve assembly or the diverter plate are both
open.
ADJUSTING THE SKIMMER FLOW
If the skimmer flow is too fast due to excessive flow rate from the pump, either rotate
the float valve trimmer plate or the diverter plate over the port to the pump until
required flow is achieved.
VACUUM/BRUSHING THE POOL
To vacuum the pool, first remove the float valve, then close the diverter plate over the
main drain. Install the vacuum plate above the basket and connect the vacuum hose
to the vacuum plate to proceed with the brushing operation.
MULTIPLE SKIMMERS
Rotate the diverter plate at the bottom of the skimmer over the pump port to restrict
the flow and balance the flow from each skimmer.
LOW WATER LEVELS
When the water level drops below the weir door, water will no longer flow from the
pool through the upper part of the skimmer. The pump will evacuate the remaining
water from the skimmer causing the float valve to close and water will flow from the
main drain only, or until the water level is increased. The same can occur when and if the basket gets filled with leaves and debris.
