What customers say
Reviewers overwhelmingly praise this OEM skimmer lid for its perfect fit and superior security. The proprietary locking mechanism is a key feature, cited for enhancing pool safety by preventing accidental removal and keeping the lid secure during harsh weather or cleaner operation. While the initial quality is high, some users note that prolonged UV exposure may eventually affect the plastic's longevity. Despite a higher price point compared to generic alternatives, the consensus is that guaranteed compatibility and robust locking justify the investment. Owners prioritize this reliable solution for maintaining system integrity and safety over lower upfront costs, making it a highly recommended replacement.
Know before you buy
This is a specific OEM replacement part designed for Pentair Admiral skimmers. It is not a universal lid, so you should verify your current skimmer model matches the Pentair Admiral series before purchasing.
The lock-down mechanism provides a secure fit that prevents the lid from shifting or blowing off due to pool activity or wind. It adds an extra layer of stability compared to standard floating lids.
No, it is designed for easy DIY installation. Since it is a direct OEM replacement, it should fit into your existing skimmer housing without the need for specialized tools or modifications.
The warning is a standard requirement for many plastic and industrial products sold in California. It indicates that the material may contain trace amounts of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive harm, though the product is safe for its intended use in a residential pool.
The lid features a standard, durable white finish consistent with most OEM Pentair equipment. While it will match other Pentair white components, keep in mind that existing lids may have faded or discolored over time due to sun exposure, which might create a slight visual contrast.
