This PDF document is the instruction manual for U-3 SKIMMER
The Sta-Rite U-3 Skimmer is a device designed to remove floating debris such as leaves and bugs from pools, spas, and hot tubs. It operates by using pump suction to pull water through the unit, where debris is trapped in the skimmer basket while clean water passes through to the filter. The manual covers models Series 1403, 2403, 1404, and 2404, noting that these specific models are NSF listed.
| Rated Flow Capacity | 40 GPM Each |
|---|---|
| Recommended Water Level | 1-1/2 to 2 inches above bottom of skimmer opening |
| Max Flow Rate for Wall Fitting | 55 GPM |
For skimmers with a float valve, swing the trimmer plate on the bottom of the float to one side to increase port size for more flow through the skimmer.
You must empty the basket of accumulated leaves and debris as required during regular maintenance.
Remove the cover and basket, plug the equalizer inlet port, place a vacuum plate on top of the basket, fill the hose with water, and attach it to the plate.
