WEIR BLADE 8-3/8" STA RITE U3
Product Overview
A proven replacement weir door designed to restore optimal surface skimming on Sta-Rite U-3 skimmers.
When floating debris escapes back into your pool after the pump shuts off, a worn or missing weir gate is almost always the cause. This PWP 8-3/8 inch replacement weir blade is manufactured to exact Sta-Rite U-3 skimmer specifications, restoring the water velocity needed to trap leaves and oils. Built with durable molded polymer and integrated flotation foam, it seats into existing hinge slots without requiring specialized tools.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Before snapping the new weir pins into place, use a stiff brush to clear calcium buildup and algae from the skimmer wall pivot pockets so the door hinges smoothly without sticking.
Common Questions & Instructions
How do I confirm this 8-3/8 inch weir blade fits my pool skimmer?
Measure the inside width of your skimmer throat where the weir door mounts. Sta-Rite U-3 skimmer throats measure 8-3/8 inches across. If your skimmer matches this measurement, this replacement blade will seat directly into the factory hinge pockets.
What symptoms indicate a skimmer weir blade needs to be replaced?
Common symptoms include leaves and debris floating back out of the skimmer basket when the pump turns off, sluggish surface skimming action, broken hinge tabs, or waterlogged foam that keeps the door submerged.
Which direction should the foam face during weir blade installation?
Install the weir blade with the foam facing toward the pool water (away from the skimmer basket). This positioning allows the water flow to pull the door down during filtration while keeping it buoyant enough to trap surface debris.
