Pentair Admiral Skimmer Float Valve / Equalizer Assembly | 85015200
The Pentair 85015200 is a replacement float valve equalizer assembly used on select Pentair Admiral pool and spa skimmers. It helps control water draw when the pool water level drops and an equalizer line is present, reducing the chance of the pump pulling air through the skimmer.
What This Part Does
- Helps maintain suction to the pump during low-water conditions by shifting flow away from the skimmer opening (application dependent).
- Supports equalizer line function in skimmer setups that use an equalizer port/line.
- Replaces worn or sticking float assemblies that can cause poor skimmer performance or allow air to enter the system.
Compatibility
- Designed for: Pentair Admiral pool & spa skimmers (commonly referenced for Admiral S20 skimmer applications)
- Tip: Confirm your skimmer model and parts diagram to ensure 85015200 is the correct float/equalizer assembly for your specific Admiral skimmer.

Installation Notes

- Remove the skimmer lid and basket, then access the float valve/equalizer assembly per your skimmer’s design.

- After installation, verify the float moves freely and the skimmer operates normally with the pump running.

Maintenance Tips
- Keep the skimmer basket clean—restricted flow can exaggerate low-water symptoms and reduce skimming.
- Maintain proper pool water level (typically mid-skimmer opening) to reduce the need for equalizer operation.
- If you notice recurring air in the pump basket, inspect all suction-side seals (lid O-ring, unions, valves) in addition to the skimmer float assembly.
