Installation & Compatibility Notes

Before installing, ensure the pool is drained or the system shut down, and that all suction lines are isolated and depressurized. Remove the existing cover or element, clean the frame flange area of debris, and install the inner frame and cover so it is seated flush with the wall finish. Use proper hardware torquing to avoid warping the cover. Confirm the drain cover and frame are aligned and anchored correctly to meet flush-mount requirements. After installation, refill the pool and resume circulation. Verify that the drain cover is secure before returning the pool to service.

Maintenance Tips

Inspect the drain cover and frame annually for cracking, corrosion or wear—replace promptly if any damage is found.
Verify mounting screws and anchors remain tight and that the flange remains flush with the pool surface.
Clear the area around the drain cover of debris or large objects that could interfere with flow or create additional suction velocity.
Ensure the cover remains compliant with current entrapment protection codes—do not substitute non-rated covers or combine with non-qualified parts.
