The optional float / by-pass valve provides a main-drain thru skimmer system plus an automatic safety by-pass for low water conditions. You may purchase the float valve assembly through this link http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352017468.htm

One is the main drain for the skimmer and the other is for if you want to connect a suction side cleaner into the skimmer.

How long is the throat of the vinyl Hayward skimmer? Is the cover changeable from the square lid to a round lid? Does this skimmer have just one hole on the bottom?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/18/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Patrick. The throat is 8-1/2", the covers can be changed from round to square or vice versa only by purchasing and installing the Adjusting Collar. The skimmer has two suction ports.

Is there a throat extension available for the Hayward SP1084 skimmer?
 Reply

A  Answered on 11/9/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

Hi Bryan, so there is no throat extension for the Hayward skimmer model SP1084 but there is a collar extension part number 4040-24 if by chance that was what you were referring to.
