Hi Jim, It would depend on your desire flow. In the SP1070-SP1071 Owner's Manual, it tells you in what case you can open or close the Flo-Control Timmer Plate.

I bought a new Hayward SP1017FV float.
It came with an o-ring.
Where does the o-ring go?
Does it go between the bottom of the valve and the bottom of the skimmer?
Thanks,
JB

HI Jim, The o-ring goes into the grove of the skimmer body. You can find installation instructions in the SP1070-SP1071 Owner's Manual.

Is the O ring that goes "inside" the float valve assemble available? It looks like its about 2 3/8 in ID and 2 5/8 in OD. This "is not" the o ring that goes between the skimmer valve assembly and the skimmer body. Thank You.
