Why Replace Your Skimmer Shutter?

The skimmer shutter (also called a weir door) is a critical component of your pool's filtration system. Over time, UV exposure, chemical contact, and general wear can cause the shutter to crack, warp, or stop functioning correctly. A properly working shutter ensures surface debris is captured efficiently and that water flow is regulated — keeping your pool water cleaner and your pump system working properly.
