When the nozzle is worn, cracked, or clogged beyond cleaning, surface skimming performance drops noticeably — this direct replacement restores the system to factory operation. Match the part number on your existing nozzle before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e516478\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eQuikSkim Venturi Nozzle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm the part number stamped or molded on your existing nozzle matches 516478. If your QuikSkim is producing weak or uneven surface flow but the pump pressure reads normal, inspect the venturi nozzle for mineral scale buildup or physical damage — these are the most common causes of reduced skimming performance in this system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-04-04 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53936522133779,"sku":"516478","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/pentair-quikskim-venturi-nozzle-516478.webp?v=1777936105","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentairwaterpoolandspainc_516478","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
