Restore Proper Surface Skimming and Consistent Pool Circulation

A skimmer weir is one of the most important—but often overlooked—components of a swimming pool’s circulation system. The Oreq Skimmer Weir 7-3/8" (SW906) is a precision-sized replacement weir designed to restore correct surface draw, improve debris capture, and protect your pool’s pump and filtration system.

When a skimmer weir is cracked, warped, missing, or incorrectly sized, surface debris such as leaves, insects, oils, and pollen are no longer pulled efficiently into the skimmer. Instead, debris drifts across the surface or washes back into the pool when the pump shuts off. Replacing a worn or missing weir with the SW906 immediately improves skimming performance and overall circulation efficiency.

This product is designed specifically for swimming pool skimmers and should not be confused with non-pool or household components.

What a Pool Skimmer Weir Does

The skimmer weir is the floating door installed at the front opening of a pool skimmer. Its purpose is to regulate water flow into the skimmer while preventing debris from escaping back into the pool.

A properly functioning skimmer weir:

  • Creates a thin, fast-moving surface draw

  • Pulls floating debris into the skimmer basket

  • Prevents debris from washing back when the pump turns off

  • Maintains stable suction to the pump

  • Improves overall circulation balance

Without a properly sized and functioning weir, skimmer efficiency drops significantly—even if the pump and filter are operating correctly.

For complete skimmer repairs and upgrades, this part pairs naturally with items from our Pool Skimmer Parts Collection.

Precision 7-3/8" Size for Correct Fit

The 7-3/8" width of the Oreq SW906 is critical for proper operation. Skimmer weirs must match the skimmer throat opening closely to float freely and seal correctly.

A correctly sized weir will:

  • Swing freely without binding

  • Seal the skimmer opening when the pump shuts off

  • Open smoothly when the pump starts

  • Maintain a stable waterline at the skimmer

Using an incorrectly sized weir—even one that’s only slightly off—can cause sticking, poor debris capture, or reduced circulation. Always measure your existing weir or skimmer opening before replacement.

Common Signs a Skimmer Weir Needs Replacement

If you notice any of the following issues, the skimmer weir is often the cause:

  • Floating debris bypassing the skimmer

  • Leaves washing back into the pool after pump shutoff

  • Broken, cracked, or missing weir door

  • Weir stuck in the open or closed position

  • Reduced surface circulation

Replacing the skimmer weir is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to restore proper pool performance.

Built for Pool Environments

The Oreq SW906 skimmer weir is manufactured specifically for swimming pool conditions, including:

  • Continuous water exposure

  • Chlorinated water

  • Saltwater systems

  • UV and outdoor heat exposure

  • Seasonal temperature changes

The material is engineered to maintain buoyancy and flexibility over time, helping prevent warping, cracking, or sticking that can occur with inferior replacement parts.

Improves Filtration and Equipment Protection

Effective surface skimming removes debris before it sinks or reaches the main drain. This reduces strain on the pump and filter, helping the entire system operate more efficiently.

Benefits of restoring proper weir function include:

  • Cleaner pool surface

  • Less debris in the pump basket

  • Reduced filter loading

  • Improved circulation patterns

  • Lower maintenance demands

Simple, Tool-Free Installation

Replacing the Oreq SW906 skimmer weir is a quick repair that requires no tools.

Installation Steps:

  1. Turn off the pool pump

  2. Remove the skimmer lid

  3. Remove the damaged or missing weir

  4. Insert the new Oreq SW906 into the skimmer throat

  5. Confirm free movement

  6. Restart the pump and observe operation

Most installations take just a few minutes and provide immediate improvement in skimming performance.

Compatible Pool Applications

The Oreq SW906 skimmer weir is suitable for use in:

  • Residential in-ground pools

  • Commercial pools

  • Chlorine pools

  • Saltwater pools

It is designed for skimmers that require a 7-3/8" wide weir. Always confirm measurements before ordering.

Why Skimmer Maintenance Is Critical

The skimmer is the first stage of a pool’s circulation system. When skimmer components fail, debris bypasses filtration and creates downstream issues that affect water clarity and equipment longevity.

Routine skimmer maintenance helps:

  • Reduce chemical demand

  • Improve water clarity

  • Prevent pump clogging

  • Extend equipment lifespan

For a complete skimmer maintenance setup, consider pairing this weir with baskets and accessories from our Pool Maintenance Tools Collection.
