AquaStar® FlowStar® Swimming Pool and Spa Inground Standard Gunite & Vinyl or Fiberglass Skimmer Flap Weir Plate Door Gate White with 2 Secure Locking Clips SKWD101
Bring your skimmer back to “like-new” performance with the AquaStar® SKWD101 FlowStar® Skimmer Weir Plate (White). This replacement skimmer flap / weir door mounts at the front opening (throat) of compatible AquaStar FlowStar skimmers and acts as a controlled “gate” that helps maintain strong surface draw. The result is better day-to-day skimming of leaves, bugs, and floating debris, while also helping reduce debris washing back out of the skimmer when circulation stops.
Unlike worn, warped, or missing weir doors that can weaken surface pull and reduce cleaning efficiency, the SKWD101 restores the intended flow pattern at the skimmer entrance so your pump can consistently pull the waterline layer—where most debris and oils collect—into the skimmer basket.
WHAT THIS PART DOES (WHY IT MATTERS)
• Improves surface skimming: The weir door helps increase surface velocity at the skimmer opening for stronger debris capture.
• Helps minimize backflow: When the pump shuts off, the weir door helps reduce the tendency for collected debris to drift back into the pool.
• Quieter operation: FlowStar-style weir designs commonly incorporate underwater dampers/tabs to help reduce chatter and slapping noise (especially in wind or variable flow conditions).
• Secure fit: This assembly includes two (2) clips/locks designed to hold the weir securely in place.
KEY FEATURES
• Genuine AquaStar replacement weir for FlowStar skimmer applications
• Includes 2 clips/locks for secure installation
• White finish to match many common skimmer setups

COMPATIBILITY / FITMENT NOTES (IMPORTANT)
Skimmer weirs are not universal. For best results, match your existing weir by:
-
Measuring the old door (width and height)
-
Confirming the hinge/clip mounting style matches
-
Ensuring the door swings freely once installed
If your current FlowStar weir matches the listed dimensions and uses clip-style mounting, SKWD101 is typically the correct replacement.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW (QUICK DIY)
-
Turn off the pump.
-
Remove the old weir (it typically releases from the side pivots/clips).
-
Install the SKWD101 weir and secure it using the included two clips/locks.
-
Confirm smooth movement (opens with suction, closes gently when flow slows).
-
Restart the pump and verify strong surface pull at the skimmer opening.
IDEAL FOR
• Replacing a missing, cracked, sun-damaged, or warped skimmer flap
• Improving surface cleanup and reducing floating debris accumulation
• Restoring proper skimmer function on compatible AquaStar FlowStar skimmers
