The part number 08650-0048Z is the official Pentair Skimmer Equalizer Flap (also referred to as a trimmer plate or flow adjuster). It is a genuine OEM replacement component designed primarily for the Pentair Sta-Rite / SwimQuip U-3 model pool skimmer float valves.
This part replaces the older, legacy Pentair part number 08650-0048.
Key Details & Function
- Purpose: It serves as a one-way flap within the skimmer's equalizer valve system to help balance water flow and pressure.
- Safety Mechanism: The equalizer line ensures that if the pool's water level drops below the skimmer mouth or if the main skimmer basket becomes blocked with debris, the pump can still draw water from a submerged suction line to prevent air locks and protect the pool pump from running dry.
