POOL WEIR EARTHECO WITH VAC LID TOOL COMBO

POOL WEIR EARTHECO WITH VAC LID TOOL COMBO (SMALL WEIR)

Product Description:

The Pool Weir Eartheco with Vac Lid Tool Combo Small Weir is a practical pool plumbing and maintenance combo for suitable concrete swimming pool systems.

It combines:

1. Eartheco Standard White Pool Weir with Flap
2. SST Stainless Steel Vac Lid Tool

The weir forms part of the suction side of the swimming pool filtration system. It draws surface water from the pool into the suction line, helping remove floating leaves, insects, grass, dust and surface debris before they sink.

The water then travels to the pump, through the filter and back to the pool through the return lines. If solar heating or a pool heater is installed, water may also pass through that system before returning to the pool.

The included SST vac lid tool makes it easier to handle the vac lid supplied with the weir. This is useful when connecting or disconnecting a suction cleaner, cleaning the basket or working with a tight-fitting lid.

What Is Included?

Eartheco Standard White Pool Weir

The weir includes:

• 1 x Eartheco standard white weir body
• 1 x Weir flap
• 1 x Weir basket
• 1 x Weir collar
• 1 x Deck lid
• 1 x Supplied vac lid

SST Vac Lid Tool

The combo also includes:

• 1 x SST stainless steel vac lid tool

Important Inclusion Note

This combo does not include an extra spare vac lid.

The only vac lid included is the standard vac lid supplied with the Eartheco weir. The SST tool is supplied to help handle that vac lid.

Main Product Functions

Surface Skimming

The Eartheco weir helps skim floating debris from the pool surface.

It helps collect:

• Leaves
• Grass
• Insects
• Dust
• Pollen
• Floating organic matter
• General surface dirt

This reduces the amount of debris that sinks to the pool floor.

Basket Debris Collection

The weir basket catches larger debris before it travels down the suction line toward the pump.

Keeping the basket clean helps maintain:

• Better suction
• Better water flow
• Better cleaner movement
• Reduced pump strain
• Fewer suction blockages

Suction Pool Cleaner Connection

The supplied vac lid allows compatible suction automatic pool cleaners to connect to the weir.

The vac lid must fit correctly to avoid air leaks, weak suction and poor pool cleaner movement.

Easier Vac Lid Handling

The stainless steel tool helps with handling the supplied weir vac lid.

It can assist when the lid is:

• Tight
• Difficult to grip
• Wet
• Seated firmly
• Used regularly with a suction cleaner
• Hard to remove by hand

The tool helps reduce the need for screwdrivers, pliers or other unsuitable tools that may damage the plastic lid.

Compatibility Notes

The weir is intended for:

• Gunite swimming pools
• Hand-packed concrete pools
• Marblite-style concrete pool systems
• Smaller residential pools
• Splash pools

The vac lid tool is intended to assist with the supplied compatible small-weir vac lid.

Before ordering or installing, confirm:

• Existing pool type
• Existing weir size
• Existing weir opening
• Suction pipe alignment
• Deck lid size
• Basket size
• Vac lid design
• Small-weir compatibility
• Pool cleaner connection requirements

This product must not be assumed to fit every pool weir, large weir, jumbo weir or non-matching vac lid design.

Installation / Usage Notes

• Confirm that the pool is gunite, concrete or marblite-style before installation.
• Do not install into an incompatible fibreglass pool shell.
• Check existing weir dimensions before replacement.
• Confirm suction plumbing alignment before installation.
• Install the weir at the correct waterline height.
• Seal the weir correctly into the pool shell.
• Set the collar to suit paving, coping or tile height.
• Keep the deck lid accessible for future basket cleaning.
