Pentair Bermuda Skimmer Equalizer Valve Assembly

No, this specific equalizer valve is designed exclusively for the Pentair Bermuda series skimmer systems. It will not fit other Pentair skimmer models, so please verify your skimmer model before purchasing.

The equalizer valve is a critical safety and performance component that balances water flow between the skimmer and the main drain. It prevents the skimmer from sucking air if the water level drops or the basket becomes clogged, ensuring your pump continues to run smoothly.

You should consider a replacement if you notice the valve is cracked, brittle, or failing to seat properly, which can lead to air leaks in your suction line. If your pump is losing prime or you hear gurgling sounds from the skimmer, the valve may be the culprit.

Installation is generally straightforward and can typically be done without professional help. Since it is a direct replacement part, you simply remove the old, damaged valve and secure the new one in its place within the skimmer housing.

This product is the equalizer valve assembly itself. It does not include additional gaskets, screws, or O-rings, so you should ensure your existing hardware is in good condition before installation.
