3. Installation Instructions
The Astralpool White Flat Grille is designed for straightforward installation as a replacement or new component in compatible pool drain ring systems.
3.1. Preparation

- Clean the area around the drain ring thoroughly to ensure a secure and proper fit for the new grille.
3.2. Grille Placement
- Align the new Astralpool White Flat Grille with the drain ring opening. Ensure the screw holes on the grille align with the corresponding holes on the drain ring.
- Insert the provided mounting screws into the aligned holes.
- Using a suitable screwdriver, carefully tighten the screws. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the grille or the drain ring. Tighten until the grille is firmly secured and flush with the drain ring surface.
After installation, visually inspect the grille to ensure it is properly seated and stable.
