Hayward SP1072S2DGR SkimMaster Round Skimmer (Concrete/Gunite) — Dark Gray, 2" SKT x 2-1/2" SPIG, 4.5" Throat
The Hayward SP1072S2DGR is a high-capacity SkimMaster Series in-ground skimmer for concrete/gunite pools. Built for strong surface skimming performance, it’s commonly specified for large residential pools and commercial-style installations where higher flow and debris capacity are needed.

- Round lid with an adjustable deck collar for a clean finished look at the deck
- Threaded internal connections to support pressure testing during installation
- Automatic safety bypass helps protect circulation during low-water conditions
- Self-adjusting weir design to improve surface draw as conditions change
- PVC ports on the SP1072S2-style body to reduce installation time
- Corrosion-resistant, unibody construction designed for long service life
- Dark gray finish to match modern/deep-color pool trims

- Plumbing Connections: 2" Socket (SKT) x 2-1/2" Spigot (SPIG)

Common Uses
- New concrete/gunite pool builds needing a high-capacity skimmer
- Replacing an older SkimMaster/Auto-Skim body with similar plumbing sizes
- Upgrading to a dark gray finish to match trim, tile, or plaster color schemes
Installation Notes
- Confirm your existing plumbing sizes and layout (2" slip and 2-1/2" spigot) before ordering.
- Set the skimmer body square and level during installation to ensure the lid/collar sits properly at the deck.
- If the project requires commercial/NSF-style compliance, some configurations may require a compatible float valve & equalizer kit and the appropriate listed cover.

Maintenance Tips
- Empty the skimmer basket often during heavy debris seasons—restricted flow reduces skimming performance.
- Keep the water level high enough to avoid vortexing air (typically mid-skimmer opening is a good rule of thumb).
- If suction drops, check basket blockage first, then inspect pump basket and filter pressure.
- Replace cracked lids/collars promptly—an unsafe or broken cover can be a trip hazard and may allow debris into the skimmer well.
