This Aquatonics R38013B skimmer basket floating weir uses a tab‑and‑notch mounting pattern for secure placement in Pentair Admiral, Aladdin B‑38, and compatible 850012‑S‑10 housings. Constructed from durable plastic formulated to resist pool chemicals and seasonal wear, it helps the skimmer capture leaves, insects, and other floating debris before they reach the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this floating weir improve surface skimming?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aquatonics R38013B rides at the waterline to create a consistent laminar flow into the skimmer when your pump runs. That movement forms a small vortex that funnels floating debris directly into the basket rather than letting it drift across the pool surface. The result is fewer manual skims and reduced strain on the filtration system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop edge floats at waterline for continuous surface draw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVortex suction directs leaves and debris into the basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with skimmer socks and basket inserts for extra filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my Pentair Admiral or Aladdin B‑38 skimmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement is engineered specifically to match the tab‑and‑notch geometry used by Pentair Admiral and Aladdin B‑38 models, plus commonly compatible 850012‑S‑10 assemblies. If your skimmer uses the same mounting pattern it will seat securely and maintain proper flow.
