Vsttar Float Valve Assembly SP1070FV for Hayward SP1070/SP1071 — Direct-Fit Plastic Replacement, Pump Protection

The Vsttar SP1070FV is a direct-fit plastic float valve assembly that restores reliable water-level control for Hayward Skim-Master SP1070/SP1071 skimmers.

If your Skim-Master skimmer is allowing the pump to run dry during partial blockages or losing proper equalization, the SP1070FV float valve assembly replaces worn or missing parts to keep the main drain line flowing and protect the pump from overheating. This aftermarket unit includes the floating valve, equalizer, and skimmer lower link, engineered to match OEM dimensions while offering improved value.

How does this float valve assembly protect my pool pump?

When debris blocks the skimmer basket, a functioning float valve and equalizer let a small amount of water continue to flow from the main drain so the pump does not run completely dry. The SP1070FV is designed to maintain that minimum flow and reduce stress on the motor until the skimmer is cleared.

• Prevents pump from running dry during partial blockages
• Maintains minimum main drain flow to reduce overheating risk
• Passive mechanical design—no electricity or sensors required

Is the Vsttar SP1070FV compatible with my Hayward SP1070 or SP1071 Skim-Master?

Yes—the SP1070FV is manufactured to match the form and function of the original Hayward components so it installs directly into SP1070 and SP1071 skimmers. It replaces the lower skimmer link, float valve assembly, and equalizer as a single kit.

• Direct-fit replacement for Hayward Skim-Master SP1070/SP1071
