Choosing The Skimmer Lid
Choosing the Skimmer Lid
The often-overlooked small detail of the skimmer lid can end up being that purely functional part that either enhances the overall pool design or distracts from the overall pool design. This guide will help navigate the terminology and points to think about when choosing the skimmer lid. The focus is on the 10" skimmer frame and lid which makes up the set. The set is available in the shapes of round or square. Both shapes, cast in aluminum or brass, are ideal for standard commercial or residential projects.
Understanding the 10" Skimmer Lid Design Options
The skimmer lid functions as the access point to the pool's skimmer system. Skimmer systems have different size equipment. The task of accessing the skimmer system for performing routine maintenance largely focuses on the skimmer lid that sits within the skimmer frame. The 10" skimmer set, which is made up of a lid and frame is a size that is compatible with various skimmer systems.
The choice of shape is usually driven by the pool area's design. A&B Foundry's Square Skimmer Set -10" is engineered to prevent debris infiltration while providing a stable, secure fit. The square lid measures 9-7/8" and allows easy access. A&B Foundry's Round Skimmer Set - 10" delivers superior functionality and reliability in its lid diameter for an equally secure fit.
Four Design Options in the 10" Round Skimmer Lid
The round skimmer set ensures easy installation and a secure fit. With the round skimmer lid,there are four lid design options to enhance the overall aesthetic:
- Waffle (W) - It's named the waffle because that's the visual imagery that comes to mind when you look at it. Depending on the overall pool's design, it can be used to repeat a design element.
- Leatherette (L) - Recommended for a more seamless overall look. The feeling is more of a texture that blends well to complement the pool's deck material.
- Two Ring Generic (2RG) - This lid offers a design that is most expected. The dots and rings repeat the round shape, just in smaller detail.
- Custom Round Skimmer Lid - Perfect for private residential or commercial hotels, resorts, and other branded installations. This skimmer cover can be customized with logos or text for enhanced branding and identification.
