I asked about the necessity of the weir door the other day. Just installed and it appears the water is coming through the opening of the pool at the same speed, but is gushing to the skimmer/skimmer basket (like a toilet being flushed), so the water is never able to rise in the skimmer. I assume this means the door is increasing the flow rate as it is supposed to?
Is weir door doing its job

Just make sure it isn't sticking and your water level is high enough. 1/2 to 3/4 up the skimmer face....(I keep mine higher).
Well, yes, but I don't like hearing you say it is gushing. Water level should be roughly halfway up on the skimmer throat and no gushing......just a steady flow. Is your water level too low?

Thanks! Will keep under one thread in future. Water level raises about halfway up on the skimmer throat, then lowers. It's the lowering that makes the sound I described as "gushing." Maybe steady flow is better description. Sorta looks like a little waterfall. I think the water legal is fine - it's about halfway up the side opening.
