Weir Door Bumper for Pentair Admiral Skimmer

thingiverse

Door Bumper for Pentair admiral skimmer- similar to part 85016600 when we moved in the skimmers in the pool had weir baskets in them - they seemed to work good, except when you shut the pump off stuff goes right back into the pool. I did some digging and identified the skimmers as admiral s15s, and they had the little nubs for the weir doors to attach to, so I dug around and found some replacement doors. they came and I attached them and they worked great. Then the kids played in the pool without the pump on and the doors were slapping closed and making quite a racket- it was fairly annoying, so back to the internet and saw that there was a bumper to stop the slapping, only I couldn't find any for less that $9 apiece- I figured, well I have a 3d printer, fusion 360 and a need, so voila! in my case the replacement weir doors were not quite as tall and my original nub didn't fit very well, so I did a v2 that extends one side down a bit and then shrank the nub a little bit- after printing the v1 at 20% infill, I did the v2 at 30%- turned out perfect.
