Pool Tool 104A Zinc Anode Skimmer Basket Weight
The Pool Tool 104A is a zinc anode weight designed to mount inside or outside a skimmer basket to help prevent metal corrosion, galvanic reaction, and plaster discoloration in salt-water or mixed-metal pool environments. It also helps stabilize the skimmer basket in place.
Key Features
- Sacrificial zinc anode weight to protect pool metal parts and finishes from galvanic corrosion.
- Mounts to any skimmer basket—simple bolt-on installation inside or outside the basket.
- Helps prevent staining and metal erosion in pools with salt systems, heaters, lights, rails or mixed-metal components.
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: 104A
- Material: Zinc alloy (anode) weight
- Mounting Location: Skimmer basket (inside or outside) in in-ground or above-ground pools
- Purpose: Galvanic protection of pool metal parts and plaster surface
Installation Information
Turn off the pool pump and remove the skimmer basket. Mount the 104A weight to the basket using the included or existing bolt hardware. Ensure firm attachment and correct orientation so it will sit in the correct position inside the skimmer. Replace the basket, restore circulation, and monitor the condition of the weight—replace when significantly eroded or more than half consumed.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the zinc anode weight every 12 months; if more than 50% eroded or disintegrating, replace to maintain protection.
- If you notice metal discoloration, heater corrosion, or plaster stains near returns or steps, check the anode and pool metal-bonding system.
- Keep a spare zinc anode weight in your service inventory to address aging or failing weights during routine maintenance visits.
