Setup and Installation

The Aqualine Skimmer Lid is designed for manual installation. Follow these steps to ensure a secure fit:

1. Verify Compatibility: Ensure your skimmer opening is compatible with a 6-inch diameter lid. Measure the opening of your existing skimmer basket housing to confirm the correct size.
2. Clear the Area: Remove any debris, dirt, or old sealant from around the skimmer opening on your pool deck. The surface should be clean and level to allow for a proper fit.
3. Placement: Carefully place the Aqualine 6-inch Gray Skimmer Pool Spa Deck Lid over the skimmer opening. Align it so that it sits flush with the surrounding pool deck surface.
4. Secure Fit: Gently press down on the lid to ensure it is seated firmly. The lid is designed to fit snugly to prevent accidental displacement and to keep debris out of the skimmer basket.

Note: If the lid does not fit securely or appears loose, re-check the dimensions of your skimmer opening and ensure no obstructions are preventing a proper seal.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Aqualine Skimmer Lid operates passively by covering the skimmer opening. Its primary function is to prevent large debris from entering the skimmer basket and to provide a safe, covered surface on the pool deck.

• Accessing the Skimmer Basket: To access the skimmer basket for cleaning, simply lift the lid using the designated handles or edges.
• Securing the Lid: After cleaning or maintenance, always replace the lid securely. Ensure it is fully seated and flush with the pool deck to prevent accidental dislodgement.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your skimmer lid and ensure its continued effectiveness:

• Cleaning: Clean the lid periodically with mild detergent and water. Rinse off any accumulated debris, such as leaves or dirt, and allow it to dry completely before replacing it.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the lid for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. While the lid is designed to be durable, extreme conditions or heavy impact can cause damage.
• Storage: If removing the lid for extended periods (e.g., during winterization), store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Aqualine Skimmer Lid, consider the following:

• Lid Does Not Fit:
  • Ensure the skimmer opening is clean and free of debris or old cement that might obstruct the fit.
  • Verify that the skimmer opening's dimensions match the 6-inch diameter of the lid.
• Lid Appears Damaged or Cracked:
  • Inspect the lid for visible cracks or deformities. While made from premium PP plastic, heavy impact can cause damage.
  • If damaged, replace the lid to maintain safety and functionality.
• Lid is Loose or Easily Dislodged:
  • Ensure the lid is properly seated and flush with the pool deck.
  • Check for any wear on the edges of the skimmer opening or the lid itself that might prevent a tight fit.
