Aquascape29258 Signature Series 8.0 and Classic Skimmer Large Weir Flap Door, Black

I purchases a house a few years ago. It came with a fairly large pond. The skimmer box started to leak, so I was frantically looking for parts after I took the liner off, cleaned and attached with Stainless steel bolts.. I believe the pond to be at least 15 years old and no one could tell me the type of skimmer I had. This was relatively inexpensive compared to the pond specialty companies. I did have to trim the extensions a tad, but works as it is supposed to.

It's too bad Aquascape doesn't offer the springs that is used to hold the weir in place. The springs in my weir just rusted through. Getting a new spring was probably a cheap fix compared to having to buy a new weir flap. Aquascape doesn't offer the replacement spring for what I think is an obvious reason... profit. What I received is what I needed and there was no other way to get it except by buying the complete assembly. Aquascape taking care of itself and not it's customers.

It fits nicely, only wish I could just buy the pad, because that's what falls apart, not the plastic. I just remove that pad from the new weir and placed on my old weir. Next time I will look for a similar pad that I can cut to fit.

SORRY

The door matched exactly to my old broken one except the pegs stuck out a bit longer therefore one broke when trying to insert it. Now it is useless and I have no idea which door to get for an older 8" Aquascape. If there is more than one 8" door for Aquascape, need a better description. My fish keep getting in the skimmer and stuck even with rocks strategically in place.

WOW! I wasn't sure if this would fit my pond skimmer basket, based on all of the negative reviews, but it fit PERFECTLY!! I'm stoked!

Foam insert weakens over time and falls out

I purchased for my pond skimmer. The product was exactly what I ordered but I had to return because I ordered the wrong size. I wish there was a way to revise flapper because the plastic is fine but the foam deteriorates and comes loose making the flapper defective.

I read some negative reviews about this item and was a bit worried. Received the gate this morning. Nothing was missing, popped it in place and it was perfect. I’m a happy camper and now stress free.
