Product Overview
The Pentair 08650-0079 float assembly with O-ring is a critical internal component used in Sta-Rite and SwimQuip U-3 pool skimmers. Installed beneath the skimmer basket, the float valve regulates suction flow between the skimmer opening and the pool’s main drain line, helping maintain proper water circulation through the filtration system.
When water levels drop or the skimmer becomes blocked by debris, the float assembly automatically redirects suction to the main drain, protecting the pump from losing prime and maintaining system operation. The included O-ring ensures a tight seal within the skimmer body, making this assembly an essential replacement part for restoring reliable performance in U-3 skimmer systems.
