Weltico A800 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 64232A
The Weltico A800 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 64232A is a complete front renovation set for A800 design skimmers. It allows you to renew the sealing components and visible front elements while keeping the original in wall skimmer body in place, ideal for refurbishing existing residential pools fitted with a Weltico A800 skimmer.
Overview and typical use
This kit is designed for pools where the A800 skimmer body is still structurally sound, but the gaskets, counter flange and front cover have aged, discoloured or started to lose their sealing capacity. By replacing these parts, you restore watertightness around the wide skimmer mouth and give the waterline area a modern anthracite finish without heavy structural work on the pool wall.
Kit contents and compatibility
The Weltico A800 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 64232A includes the key front elements required to refurbish the A800 skimmer opening. All parts follow the original A800 design geometry, so they align with the existing throat and fixing pattern.
- New sealing gaskets for the A800 skimmer mouth and pool finish interface.
- Counter flange to clamp the liner or wall finish against the large opening.
- Anthracite front cover elements matching the A800 design shape and screw layout.
- Hardware set with screws sized for the A800 flange.
The kit is suitable for A800 design skimmers installed in concrete, concrete liner, shell or panel liner pools, provided the in wall skimmer body is still in good structural condition.
Benefits of the anthracite skimmer front
Over time, exposure to sunlight, fluctuating water levels and treatment products can affect the look and flexibility of the skimmer front. Using the Weltico A800 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 64232A restores a uniform dark grey finish and reliable sealing around the mouth of the skimmer.
- Anthracite front for a contemporary, low contrast look along the waterline.
- Finish that pairs well with grey liners, tiles and modern coping stones.
- Replacement parts that preserve the original A800 hydraulic opening and flow.
Sealing performance and refurbishment advantages
The sealing gaskets around the skimmer mouth gradually compress and harden, which can lead to seepage or damp marks near the waterline. By replacing the seals and counter flange, the kit restores uniform clamping pressure and supports long term watertightness of the A800 mouth.
- New gaskets compensate for ageing and loss of elasticity of old seals.
- Counter flange spreads tightening forces evenly across the wide opening.
- Assembly designed to match the tolerances of the original A800 skimmer.
Installation and practical considerations
Installation of the Weltico A800 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 64232A should always be carried out with the filtration system stopped and the water level controlled. Frequently, the water surface is lowered just below the skimmer mouth to give comfortable access to the screws and sealing surfaces.
- Remove existing screws, front cover and old gaskets from the A800 mouth.
- Clean the skimmer throat and contact area to remove scale, dirt and residues.
- Position the new gaskets and counter flange following the A800 assembly layout.
- Fit the new anthracite front elements, aligning them carefully with the opening.
- Tighten screws gradually in a cross pattern to compress the seals evenly.
After refilling the pool and restarting filtration, the skimmer area should be monitored to confirm that no moisture appears around the mouth and that surface skimming remains stable and quiet.
Maintenance tips after renovation
Once the renovation kit is installed, simple seasonal checks help preserve both the visual aspect and the sealing performance of the renewed A800 skimmer front.
- Inspect the anthracite front and screw heads periodically for movement or stress.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to protect plastic parts and gaskets.
- Clean the front gently with non abrasive products to avoid scratching.
- Check surface skimming regularly to ensure free flow towards the skimmer.
With correct installation and basic maintenance, the Weltico A800 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 64232A offers a durable functional and aesthetic upgrade for existing A800 skimmers in contemporary pool designs.
