Pool Weir Basket

A pool weir basket is an essential component of a pool’s filtration system. It is typically located at the water level of the pool and helps to skim off surface debris before it enters the main filter. The weir basket has a hinged door that allows water to flow into it while preventing larger debris from passing through.

The purpose of the weir basket is to keep the pool water clean and free from leaves, insects, and other floating debris. This helps to maintain clear and balanced water chemistry while reducing strain on the main filter system.

It is important to regularly clean and empty the weir basket to ensure proper function. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to clogging, reduced filtration efficiency, and potential damage to the pump or filter.
