SPX1070KHR Swimming Pool Skimmer Weir Door Flap 8-3/8" Length; 5-1/4" Width Replacement Kits Compatible with Hayward SP1070 SP1070-K R240067 Automatic Skimmer and Swimquip U3

This device is very easy to install and yet effective.It does not come with any instruction, but I don't need any instructionanyway. It is so simple that I can almost install it blind folded.When I bought my house with a swimming pool, the door was alreadygone, and I have no idea what brand or model it takes, and allmodels online don't seem to fit in the hinges, only this one isso clever that it fits any model (as long as the dimensions are right).I finally have a skimmer that works properly, and my pool is nowmuch cleaner than before. Thank you!Now the only question left is: How long will this thing last?Update:Since the springs are not too strong, the door will be pushed outof position after a week or so, but no big deal, just push it back.

The spring is not strong enough to hold this in place when there are a lot of waves (such as when kids are jumping off the diving board). One side slides up so the door gets crooked and it will no longer open and close correctly. Every time kids use the pool, I have to reach in the skimmer and push the weir door back into place.So I removed it today to replace it with a weir door that screws in. When I removed it, I saw that after just 1 week, the spring was getting rusty (see picture). Obviously not a stainless steel spring. I doubt that it would have lasted a whole year.

Exactly what I expected. Easy to install and a perfect fit!

Perfect solution for the broken original part. The original failed due to broken tabs. This spring loaded door fits and functions perfectly, restoring the functionality of the skimmer.

nice replacement. fit perfect.

Thin flimsy plastic construction. Foam is exposed to pool water. We'll see how long it lasts. One would think it would be sealed and sturdy like the original. It was easy to install but slipped out of the recess after the pump shut off. Reseated and will monitor for security.

Out of the box this did no work for my pool although the dimensions matched exactly. Upon investigation i found that the internal pressure spring would sink too far into the PVC tubing sections. I resolved this issue simply by shaving down the end caps on the 2 PVC tubes and inserted them reversed so the end caps would act as stopping buffers to prevent the spring from entering the tubes. This increased the distance the the tubes extended out from the weir thus increasing spring tension. I installed the wier and it appears to be holding up well. I believe this product would benefit from including additional spacers or tubing to accommodate a more varying range of customer's needs. This could potentially reduce the return rate.

Wow! This has to be the single worst product I've purchased on Amazon in more than 15 years.The first problem, the puny spring which is supposed hold the spring bars in tension is made of carbon steel.....duh. It was in the pool for less than an hour before it came loose and blocked the skimmer - this can blow your pump/motor if you don't catch it in time.I took the piece apart to check the spring the next day and this is what i found.Please don't buy this......
