Description
Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 60660A
The Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 60660A is a complete front side refurbishment set for A400 design skimmers. It
allows you to renew the sealing parts and visible front elements while keeping the existing in wall skimmer body, ideal for liner,
concrete liner, shell and panel liner pools already equipped with a Weltico A400 design skimmer.
Overview and typical use
This renovation kit is designed for pools where the Weltico A400 skimmer body is still structurally sound, but the gaskets, counter
flange and front elements have aged, discoloured or no longer seal correctly. By replacing these parts, the kit restores watertightness
around the skimmer mouth and gives the waterline a modern anthracite finish without having to remove the built in skimmer.
All work is carried out from the pool side, so most refurbishment jobs can be completed without breaking the pool wall or undertaking
heavy masonry work.
Kit contents and compatibility
The Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 60660A brings together the key front side components required to refurbish the
A400 mouth area. Each element is dimensioned for the 200 x 400 millimetre A400 opening and is designed to work with A400 design skimmers
on different pool structures.
- New sealing gaskets for the skimmer mouth and liner or wall interface.
- Counter flange to clamp the liner or wall finish against the skimmer opening.
- Anthracite front elements matching the A400 design geometry.
- Hardware set with screws adapted to the A400 flange layout.
The kit is suitable for A400 design skimmers installed in concrete, concrete liner, shell and panel liner pools, as the parts follow the
original A400 throat and screw positions.
Benefits of the anthracite skimmer front
Sunlight, waterline deposits and pool chemicals gradually affect the appearance and mechanical properties of the visible skimmer parts.
With the Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 60660A you restore a uniform dark grey finish at the waterline and renew
the sealing between the skimmer body and the pool structure.
- Anthracite front for a contemporary, low contrast look in modern pools.
- Fresh seals to improve watertight contact with the liner or wall finish.
- Refurbishment from inside the pool without changing the built in skimmer body.
Sealing performance and refurbishment advantages
Over time, gaskets around the skimmer mouth compress and harden, which can lead to micro leaks or damp marks near the waterline. By
replacing the seals and counter flange, the renovation kit restores correct clamping pressure and improves long term watertightness
around the A400 opening.
- New seals compensate for ageing and loss of elasticity of original gaskets.
- Counter flange distributes tightening forces evenly around the rectangular mouth.
- Optimised assembly for reliable sealing on compatible A400 design skimmers.
Because the original A400 body remains in place, the kit offers an efficient way to extend the life of an existing skimmer installation
with minimal structural intervention.
Installation and practical considerations
Installation of the Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 60660A should always be done with filtration stopped and the
water level controlled. In most cases the water is lowered slightly below the skimmer mouth to provide comfortable access to screws and
sealing surfaces.
- Remove the existing screws, front parts and old gaskets from the A400 mouth.
- Clean the skimmer throat and liner or wall contact area to remove scale and debris.
- Place the new gaskets and counter flange following the A400 assembly layout.
- Install the new anthracite front elements, aligning them carefully with the opening.
- Tighten the screws gradually in a cross pattern to compress the seals without distortion.
After refilling the pool to its normal level and restarting filtration, the skimmer zone should be checked to ensure that no moisture
appears around the mouth and that surface skimming remains smooth and regular.
Maintenance tips after renovation
Once the Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit anthracite 60660A is installed, simple seasonal checks help preserve both the
appearance and the sealing performance of the renewed skimmer front.
- Inspect the anthracite front and screw heads periodically for stress or movement.
- Maintain balanced water chemistry to protect gaskets and plastic components.
- Clean the front gently to avoid scratching or dulling the dark finish.
- Check surface skimming regularly to confirm that the waterline flows freely into the skimmer.
With correct installation and basic maintenance, this kit provides a durable visual and functional upgrade for existing Weltico A400
design skimmers in contemporary residential pool designs.
