What customers say
Pool owners generally view the Sta-Rite U-3 Skimmer as an essential, easy to install OEM replacement that quickly restores proper water level management. The core benefit is its effectiveness in preventing air from entering the pump system. However, satisfaction is significantly tempered by concerns regarding the long term reliability of the internal float valve mechanism. Many users report that this critical component sticks, fails prematurely, or leaks after limited use, especially when exposed to chemicals and sunlight. This perceived lack of durability makes the unit feel expensive for a replacement part that may need frequent attention, dampening overall long term approval.
