Skimmer ID help? Door replacement

[djdonte]

Of course I just threw away most of the previous owners paperwork and this happens. This door is broken, foam rotted, and looks like it was already repaired with epoxy. Anyways I need to replace this door. Pool is from 1998. Any ideas on where I should start looking as far as brands? Beer is just for size comparison since I don’t normally swim with a tape measure.

There are plenty of aftermarket weirs available. Just make sure it's the same size:

Thanks. On further inspection there was no epoxy, just left over from my plaster job. Looks like I just need new foam..

Does anyone know what brand I should be looking towards with the seashell symbol? It’s also on the cover plate.

Pac Fab.

What is this number?

Is it 51-6222?

Pentair (PacFab) Bermuda Skimmer Weir Door Assembly, 8-1/2" W - 516252 - INYOPools.com

Thanks. It is pacfab/hayward and I ordered that part. Ill let you know if it fits. I am not sure on that part number but it seems to be obsolete, as that wier door you linked to on INYO is the only pacfab skimmer listed for non vinyl pools.

The shell is a Nautilus which is the inspiration for the DE filter design with the curved filter grids.

The original company was Purex, which was acquired by Pac Fab which was acquired by Pentair.

Pentair acquired PacFab (1999) which had previously acquired Purex Pool Products and American Products.

I found my skimmer parts using the info on skimmer lid

 

[djdonte]

Yes that is where I found Pacfab. The model number box was blank though.

 

[JamesW]

On the Inyo page it does list alternate part numbers.

ALTERNATE PART #'S 2517631, 516222, 516252, 939, PAC2517631, 51-110-1560, PEN516252

So, the 516222 seems like a valid number.

Thanks guys that was the right part. One of my doors had no foam and the other was in rough shape so I just ordered two.

I subscribe to pool math I thought that was the same ?

It's a separate thing.

Just a suggestion to help us continue to help others.

Anything you can do to help is appreciated.
