Aquatonics R38013B Floating Skimmer Weir for Inground Pools – Pentair Admiral Aladdin Compatible

Meet the Aquatonics R38013B Floating Skimmer Weir

The Aquatonics R38013B floating skimmer weir is designed to integrate with popular inground pool skimmers, guiding surface debris toward the basket while preserving steady water flow. Its tab-and-notch design keeps the unit secured in place, supporting reliable operation during pump cycles.

Constructed from premium plastic, this heavy-duty component resists seasonal wear and typical pool chemicals, delivering durable performance across seasons. It also acts as a debris shield, helping prevent large leaves, insects, and pinecones from reaching the filtration system.

How it works

A built-in vortex suction creates a subtle spiral that draws surface trash into the basket as the pump runs. When the system starts, the top edge sits just above the waterline; as flow increases, it lower slightly, forming a laminar waterfall effect that accelerates debris capture.
