U3 Skimmer 1.5 in. Spring Check Valve made by PentairĀ® 08655-0007
This check valve is for use only with Swimquip brand
U-3 surface skimmers in systems having an equalizer
wall fitting and equalizer line running to the skimmer.
Install check valve finger tight in equalizer port of skimmer
(see Figure 1). Do not use pipe thread sealant; do
not use a wrench or pliers when tightening.
Check valve prevents suction through equalizer line
unless the water level in the skimmer drops so far that
the float valve closes. When float closes, check valve
opens to allow pump to draw water from equalizer wall
fitting, preventing damage to pool circulation pump.
Inspect equalizer check valve regularly for disk wear or
loose spring tension on the check valve disk. Valve does
not need to be removed from skimmer for inspection.
If there is suction through equalizer wall fitting while
skimmer float valve is in the open (up) position, the
check valve is leaking. Inspect valve for foreign objects
lodged under disk. If nothing is stuck in the valve,
replace valve.
NOTICE: Spring tension on the check valve disk is factory
set and not adjustable. If you suspect that the spring
tension has changed, or if the check valve has been disassembled,
do not try to fix or reuse it; replace it.

Information instructions (Publication No. 39501-0028)
for specific information about skimmer equalizer system
installation and maintenance.
Please be advised that certain manufacturers - including Pentair® (with their TradeGrade® products), Jandy®/Fluidra® (with their Trade Series Exclusive™ products), and Hayward® (with their Expert Line® products) - do not honor manufacturer warranties on specific product lines purchased online.
These policies are intentionally enforced by the manufacturers to prevent customers from purchasing the same products at lower prices online.
Warranty coverage for these products is generally only available when purchased in person from an authorized local dealer.
While we strive to take care of our customers by offering the lowest possible prices on brand new, genuine products, we do not provide warranty coverage ourselves, nor can we guarantee that the manufacturer will honor the warranty on products purchased from our online store.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm warranty eligibility directly with the manufacturer before making a purchase.
If you are a local customer, you may be able to purchase these items in-store and obtain manufacturer warranty coverage. However, for many of our customers across the country, paying significantly more locally just to access a manufacturer warranty often doesn’t make financial sense, especially when some local suppliers charge considerably higher prices.
By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for warranty support or claims denied by the manufacturer due to their online sales restrictions.
