Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit sand 60660S
The Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit sand 60660S is a complete front renovation 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 intended for pools where the Weltico A400 skimmer body is still structurally sound, but the gaskets, counter flange and front elements have aged or discoloured. By replacing these parts, the kit restores watertightness around the skimmer mouth and gives the waterline a warm sand coloured finish that pairs well with beige or natural style liners and coping stones.
All work is performed from the pool side, so most refurbishment jobs can be completed without breaking the pool wall or replacing the built in skimmer body, which makes this kit a practical solution for renovation projects.
Kit contents and compatibility
The Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit sand 60660S brings together the main front side components needed to refurbish the A400 mouth area. Each part is dimensioned for the 200 x 400 millimetre A400 opening and follows the original A400 geometry for a precise fit.
- New sealing gaskets for the skimmer mouth and liner or wall interface.
- Counter flange to clamp the liner or finish against the skimmer opening.
- Sand coloured front elements matched to the A400 design shape.
- 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 dimensions and screw positions.
Benefits of the sand skimmer front
Sunlight, waterline deposits and treatment products gradually affect the appearance and mechanical properties of the visible skimmer parts. With the Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit sand 60660S you restore a uniform sand coloured finish at the waterline and renew the sealing between the skimmer body and the pool structure.
- Sand coloured front for a soft, natural look that suits beige and stone finishes.
- 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 rectangular opening.
- New seals compensate for ageing and loss of elasticity of original gaskets.
- Counter flange distributes tightening forces evenly across the mouth.
- Optimised assembly for reliable sealing on compatible A400 design skimmers.
Because the original A400 body stays in place, the kit offers an efficient way to extend the service life of the skimmer installation with minimal structural intervention.
Installation and practical considerations
Installation of the Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit sand 60660S 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 elements 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 sand coloured 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 sand 60660S is installed, simple seasonal checks help preserve both the appearance and the sealing performance of the renewed skimmer front.
- Inspect the sand coloured front and screw heads periodically for stress or movement.
- Maintain balanced water chemistry to protect gaskets and plastic parts.
- Clean the front gently to avoid scratching or dulling the sand finish.
- Check surface skimming regularly to confirm free flow towards the skimmer mouth.
With correct installation and basic maintenance, this kit provides a durable visual and functional upgrade for existing Weltico A400 design skimmers in natural style residential pool designs.
