ABSTRACT:
The weir gate includes a pair of spaced juxtaposed guides that are disposed vertically on either side of an opening between the interior of a spa and a filtration cavity. A lower gate is fixed to and spans the guides in a generally vertical plane. A floating gate is disposed between the guides, and can be placed in an upper position to regulate the flow of surface water into the filtration cavity and in a lower recessed position adjacent the lower gate to provide access to the filter cavity. An upper latch mechanism holds the floating gate in the upper position so that it pivots in a plane generally orthogonal to the lower gate and its upper edge floats near the surface of the water in the spa. A lower latch mechanism holds the floating gate in the lower position adjacent the lower gate so that a user can access the filters without having to hold the floating gate down.
