Aquador Skimmer Cover for Above Ground Pools 71090
The Aquador 1090/71090 lid is a replacement winter skimmer cover designed for standard-sized above-ground pools, compatible specifically with Hayward SP1090 and SP1095 series skimmers. It snaps onto an existing Aquador faceplate, providing effective freeze protection without the need to lower the pool’s water level, making winterizing simpler and more efficient.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Leak-free seal made from durable, non-shrinking plastic to prevent water leaks; applying a thin layer of sealant such as Magic Lube on the inside lip enhances the watertight seal.
- Ice protection with a flexible, domed design and rounded corners that allow ice expansion and contraction, preventing ice from breaking the seal or popping the lid off.
- Easy and convenient snap-on installation once the Aquador faceplate is installed; the lid can be peeled off effortlessly when needed.
- Protects the faceplate screws from corrosion caused by strong winterizing chemicals, extending the life of your skimmer components.
Before Purchase Considerations:
- Requires an existing Aquador faceplate; if none is present, a full kit that includes both lid and faceplate is necessary.
- Compatible with many standard skimmers, including Hayward SP1090 and SP1095; verify inside dimensions of approximately 5-7/8” x 5-1/2” and outside dimensions of 8-1/4” x 8” for proper fit.
