Description
Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit with mouth faceplate anthracite
The Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit with mouth faceplate anthracite 60662A is a complete refurbishment set for A400 design
skimmers. It allows you to renew the sealing parts and the visible front of the skimmer while keeping the existing skimmer body in
place, 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 cases where the A400 design skimmer is still structurally sound, but the gaskets, counter flange and
front appearance need an upgrade. The anthracite mouth faceplate clips onto the existing skimmer opening, while the new seals and counter
flange clamp the liner securely and restore watertightness around the skimmer throat.
With this kit you can refresh the look and sealing of the skimmer from the pool side, without breaking the pool wall or removing the
original built in skimmer body, which makes it very practical for renovation projects.
Kit contents and compatibility
The Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit with mouth faceplate anthracite 60662A includes all front side components needed to
refurbish the mouth area of an A400 design skimmer. All parts are dimensioned for the 200 x 400 millimetre A400 opening and are compatible
with A400 design versions installed in different pool structures.
- Two sealing gaskets for the mouth and liner interface.
- Counter flange to clamp the liner or wall finish against the skimmer opening.
- Anthracite clip on mouth faceplate for the A400 design skimmer.
- New skimmer flap matched to the A400 design throat.
- Complete set of screws and hardware for assembly.
The kit fits A400 design skimmers installed in concrete, concrete liner, shell and panel liner pools, as the mouth faceplate clips onto
the existing A400 front regardless of the wall structure.
Benefits of the anthracite mouth faceplate
The anthracite mouth faceplate gives the skimmer opening a modern, discreet look that works very well with dark liners, grey coping stones
and contemporary pool designs. It provides a neat transition between the pool wall finish and the skimmer throat while keeping the
original A400 geometry.
- Anthracite front for a contemporary, low contrast appearance in modern pools.
- Clip on system allows colour change or renewal without touching the skimmer body.
- Precisely shaped to match the A400 design opening and flap movement.
Sealing performance and renovation advantages
Over time, skimmer gaskets compress and harden, which can lead to small leaks between the liner and the skimmer body. The Weltico A400
design skimmer renovation kit with mouth faceplate anthracite 60662A includes new seals, counter flange and hardware to restore correct
clamping pressure and watertightness around the mouth.
- Fresh gaskets compensate for ageing and flattening of old seals.
- Counter flange spreads pressure evenly across the full opening.
- New flap helps maintain efficient and quiet surface skimming.
Because all work is performed from the pool side, the kit keeps structural intervention to a minimum and allows many refurbishments to be
completed without heavy building work.
Installation and practical considerations
Installation of the Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation kit with mouth faceplate anthracite 60662A should always be carried out with
filtration stopped and with a controlled water level. In most cases the water surface is lowered slightly below the skimmer opening to
provide easy access to screws and sealing surfaces.
- Remove the existing screws, counter flange, flap and old gaskets from the A400 mouth.
- Clean the skimmer throat and liner contact area, removing scale and debris.
- Place the new gaskets and counter flange following the A400 assembly layout.
- Install the new flap and clip the anthracite mouth faceplate onto the skimmer front.
- Tighten screws gradually in a cross pattern to compress the seals without deforming the plastic.
After refilling the pool to normal level and restarting filtration, the skimmer area should be monitored to confirm that there are no
traces of moisture around the mouth and that the flap moves freely with the water level.
Maintenance tips for long lasting results
After the renovation, simple seasonal checks help maintain the performance and appearance of the Weltico A400 design skimmer renovation
kit with mouth faceplate anthracite 60662A.
- Inspect the front face and screw heads periodically for movement or stress.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to protect gaskets and plastic components.
- Clean the anthracite faceplate gently to avoid scratches or discolouration.
- Check flap movement from time to time to ensure free surface skimming.
With correct installation and basic maintenance, this kit offers a durable visual and functional upgrade for existing Weltico A400 design
skimmers, especially in pools with dark or contemporary finishes.
