Overview

The Pentair 08650-0079 Float Assembly with O-Ring is a purpose-built replacement part for Sta-Rite U-3 pool and spa skimmers. This kit pairs a precise float with a fresh O-ring, designed to support reliable skimmer action and straightforward service. The part is identified by Pentair Pool Products Part Number 08650-0079 and Catalog Part Number 4020-08, which helps confirm compatibility when ordering.

What this replacement part does

In a Sta-Rite U-3 configuration, the float works with the skimmer mechanism to regulate intake as water levels shift. The accompanying O-ring helps seal connections to minimize leaks and sustain steady skimmer operation. Built for durability, the components withstand typical outdoor pool environments and temperature changes.

  • Targeted compatibility with Sta-Rite U-3 pool and spa skimmers
  • Includes a replacement O-ring to restore a secure seal
  • Durable materials suited for outdoor pool environments
  • Identified by official part numbers: 08650-0079 and 4020-08

Why consider replacing now

Replacing a worn float assembly and O-ring can help maintain more predictable skimmer behavior, especially during routine maintenance periods. A fresh seal and float may contribute to smoother operation during busy seasons and simplify at‑home upkeep.

  • Potential for more consistent skimmer performance
  • Simple do-it-yourself replacement for compatible Sta-Rite U-3 systems
  • Can reduce downtime during maintenance windows
  • Clear part numbers aid ordering accuracy

Installation tips

Before starting, confirm model compatibility and have a small amount of silicone-based lubricant ready for the O-ring. Follow standard safety practices and, if needed, consult your pool’s manual. With care, the replacement can be completed without special tools.

  • Verify compatibility: Sta-Rite U-3 skimmer, Pentair 08650-0079, catalog 4020-08
