Replacement weir gate for Waterway spa skimmer. The gate pivots with the water flow thanks to its foam float: it accelerates surface skimming and prevents debris from escaping the basket when the pump stops. Replace as soon as the foam is waterlogged or the gate is cracked.

Measure your old door before ordering. Skimmer weir doors look very similar from one brand to another, but they are not interchangeable. This one is 4¾ inches (12.1 cm) long by 5 inches (12.7 cm) high and has the Waterway reference 519-4050. If you are unsure, send us a photo of your skimmer: we will confirm with you.

What is the purpose of the weir gate?

It improves skimmingBy pivoting at water level, it accelerates the surface current towards the basket: leaves, insects, and grease are sucked up faster.
It retains debrisWhen the pump stops, the gate closes and prevents what is already in the basket from returning to the pool.
The float follows the levelThe foam keeps the gate afloat and allows it to adjust itself to variations in water level.

When to replace it

The gate no longer rises The foam has become waterlogged over time. The gate remains down and skimming loses its effectiveness.
Debris escapes As soon as the pump stops, what the basket has collected returns to the pool: the gate no longer closes properly.
The plastic is cracked UV rays and chemicals weaken the gate with the seasons. A crack always ends up breaking it in half.
It is stuck The gate no longer pivots freely on its axes, or it is completely missing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it fits my skimmer?Measure your old gate: this one is 4¾ inches long by 5 inches high. If reference 519-4050 is still legible on yours, it's the right one. When in doubt, send us a photo.
Why doesn't my gate float anymore?This is normal wear and tear: the foam absorbs water over the seasons and loses its buoyancy. There is nothing to repair, the gate needs to be replaced.
Can I install it myself?Yes, the gate can be replaced without disassembling the skimmer. If your model differs from what you see in the photos, please write to us before ordering.
Is this the same gate for a pool?This reference is intended for spa skimmers. For a pool, give us the brand and model of your skimmer and we will direct you to the correct part.
Not sure if this is the right part? Send us a photo of your skimmer with the dimensions of the old gate: we will confirm before you order. We also carry Waterway faceplates if the entire skimmer needs to be replaced. Email us (418) 871-0658
