Description
Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851
The Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851 is an extension ring designed to raise the level of Weltico skimmer lids and frames. Installed between the skimmer body and the cover assembly, it increases the height by approximately 37 mm, helping you align the skimmer lid with a higher coping or renovated pool deck.
Overview and typical application
When a pool deck is retiled, resurfaced or fitted with thicker coping stones, the finished level around the skimmer can move above the original lid position. The Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851 compensates for this difference by lifting the skimmer cover assembly so the lid remains flush with the new deck height.
This accessory is part of the Weltico design and elegance ranges and is used on compatible skimmers where the manufacturer specifies raiser reference 60851. It is supplied as a separate spare part within the professional pool fittings range offered by PoolParthub.com.
Raiser function and waterline height
The primary role of the Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851 is to adjust the relative height between the skimmer mouth, the lid and the surrounding paving. By inserting the raiser above the skimmer throat, you raise the position of the cover without changing the actual water level or the skimming performance.
This is particularly useful in renovation projects where:
- The deck thickness has been increased with new tiles or pavers.
- The coping stones have been replaced by a higher profile model.
- Existing lids sit noticeably lower than the surrounding surface.
Design and construction
The Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851 is manufactured from robust ABS plastic with UV resistance suitable for outdoor pool environments. The circular geometry and fastening points are matched to the corresponding Weltico skimmer bodies so that the raiser acts as a rigid spacer under the lid and frame.
- Approximate height increase of 37 mm per raiser element.
- ABS construction to resist pool chemicals and weathering.
- Shape and drilling pattern aligned with Weltico skimmer covers.
When correctly installed, the raiser becomes an integral part of the skimmer top assembly, supporting the lid and frame while maintaining a neat finish around the opening.
Compatibility with Weltico skimmers
The Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851 is specified by the manufacturer for use with several design and elegance skimmers, including models such as A400, A600 and A800 where raiser ref. 60851 is mentioned in the documentation. The ring is designed to sit between the skimmer body and the lid and frame set (for example references in the 8080 family).
For correct operation and a secure fit, the reference on the existing skimmer and on the manufacturer’s exploded view should be checked before ordering. Using the dedicated 60851 raiser ensures correct alignment and support under the compatible Weltico cover assembly.
Installation guidelines
Installation of the Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851 is carried out from the deck side with the filtration system stopped. In most cases the pool water level does not need to be lowered, as the work is confined to the skimmer top and surrounding paving.
- Remove the skimmer lid and, if necessary, the existing frame or adapter ring.
- Clean the support area to remove mortar residues, dirt and loose material.
- Position the raiser 60851 on top of the skimmer body, aligning holes and edges.
- Refit or install the lid and frame assembly on the raiser according to the skimmer instructions.
- Check that the lid sits level and flush with the surrounding deck and that it is stable underfoot.
After installation, users should be able to walk over the cover without rocking or noise, and the skimmer opening should remain fully accessible for routine basket cleaning and inspection.
Practical benefits in renovation projects
By adding one level of adjustment without modifying the skimmer body itself, the Weltico skimmer raiser 37 mm 60851 offers a simple way to adapt existing skimmers to new deck geometries. It improves both aesthetics and comfort around the pool edge, while keeping the hydraulic part of the skimmer unchanged.
- Restores a flush transition between deck and skimmer lid after refurbishment.
- Helps avoid uneven edges or visible recesses at the skimmer opening.
- Supports long term stability of the cover assembly at the new deck height.
Combined with compatible Weltico skimmers and lids, this raiser contributes to a clean, professional finish in both new build and renovation projects where the pool surround level has been adjusted.
