The flap assembly controls the water intake flow through the weir — when the flap warps, cracks, or loses its pivot, the skimmer's surface skimming efficiency drops and the water level inside the skimmer fluctuates erratically. This OEM replacement restores correct weir door function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeir Door Function and Skimmer Efficiency\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weir door flap on a pond skimmer serves a specific hydraulic function: it maintains a consistent head differential between the pond surface and the skimmer interior, which drives the surface flow that collects floating debris. A warped or broken flap disrupts this head differential, causing either too much bulk flow (bypassing surface skimming) or too little flow (reducing debris collection). The Biosys Skimmer+ flap assembly is precision-fitted to the skimmer housing dimensions to maintain the correct head differential across the full range of pump flow rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Skimmers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOase Biosys Skimmer+ and Biosys Skimmer XL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeir door \/ flap assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControls surface water intake flow and level in skimmer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV-resistant polymer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenuine Atlantic\/Oase OEM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce pump flow or disconnect the pump before opening the skimmer. Access the weir door opening on the skimmer face. Remove the old flap assembly by releasing its pivot pins or clips as per the Biosys Skimmer service guide. Install the new flap assembly, ensuring pivot pins fully seat and the flap swings freely without binding. Restart the pump and confirm stable water level in the skimmer and correct surface skimming behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for maintaining Oase Biosys Skimmer+ and XL units in Canadian koi ponds and water gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Water Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698414022975,"sku":"OASP-28353","price":71.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/atlantic-water-gardens-replacement-parts-default-title-atlantic-water-gardens-biosys-skimmer-xl-flap-assembly-43287397564735.webp?v=1776379495","url":"https:\/\/pondsonline.ca\/products\/atlantic-water-gardens-biosys-skimmer-xl-flap-assembly","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
