HIDE Skimmer Lids stand out for their superior quality, safety, and design when covering your pool skimmer box. Here's why HIDE is the best choice over other options in the market.
HIDE's range of Skimmer Lids is crafted from 316L marine-grade stainless steel, known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and durability. This premium material ensures that HIDE Lids and Covers maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal even in harsh pool and landscape environments.
Proudly Australian-made, HIDE products are crafted with extreme precision using advanced robotics to cut, fold, and weld the stainless-steel components, ensuring unmatched quality and accuracy in every piece.
In contrast, inferior covers with delicate physical locking mechanisms are prone to damage from temperature fluctuations, requiring frequent cleaning and maintenance and inevitable failure. Similarly, powder-coated Chinese lids will lose their non-conductive properties when scratched during installation or worn away over time, posing a safety risk. (HIDE Skimmer Covers) (Mr Pool Man)
Safety is a critical concern for pool owners. All HIDE Skimmer Lids conform to the Australian Standard AS 1926.3 2010, ensuring they are child-proof and ventilated. The unique and robust safety key system prevents children from opening the lid to the skimmer pump, giving you the confidence that your loved ones are kept safely away from the skimmer pump or any other dangerous inspection point you are covering.
Competing products with physical plastic locking mechanisms will prevent you from having required access to your skimmer box if the key is misplaced or lost. Similarly, powder-coated surfaces become conductive when the thin coating is damaged through standard use and does not offer the same level of reliable safety over time.

One of the standout features of HIDE Skimmer Lids is their seamless integration with the surrounding pool landscape. HIDE Lids can be inlaid with the same material as the pool deck, making them virtually invisible and enhancing the overall aesthetic and function of the pool surroundings.
With over 55 stainless steel models available, including Skimmer Lids, landscape Access Covers, and patio Drain Covers, HIDE's comprehensive range of external covers is a testament to their dedication to visually and safely enhancing landscapes.
Other products with large, visible plastic locking systems are more challenging to install and defeat the purpose of an aesthetic cover, detracting from any visual appeal. (HIDE Skimmer Covers) (AquaTiles)
HIDE Skimmer Lids are designed for easy installation and low maintenance. The HIDE keyway system allows for quick access without the risk of damage to the lid or surrounding area. HIDE lids are robust and low-maintenance, unlike inferior copies that require frequent professional cleaning to prevent the intricate locking mechanism from becoming clogged with debris, which can lead to failure and the need for replacement before you can access your skimmer basket.

HIDE offers a comprehensive 20-year Australian warranty and a 10-year North American warranty on all its stainless-steel products, underscoring their durability and performance confidence. HIDE's warranty contrasts sharply with the limited and conditional warranties of inferior products, which are void if exposed to extreme temperatures or failure to have the fragile lock professionally cleaned, and those whose thin powder coatings are easily compromised with standard operation.

In addition to HIDE's premium stainless-steel range, HIDE offers an assortment of Polymer Covers. These bond-free polymer covers feature the same robust locking system and seamless face design as their stainless-steel counterparts, providing a clean and elegant look.
Running earthing wires to metal components may be challenging during a pool build, especially when renovating an old pool. HIDE, the most trusted and respected name in external covers, provides a convenient solution with its Polymer covers, ideal for situations where bonding cannot be achieved around the pool.
HIDE has an extensive range of tile-inlay Polymer Skimmer Lids (342mm square) and Access Covers (206mm square). They are available in three popular colours: Ash, Bone, and Charcoal, which blend in with the hue of modern tile choices. The lids are also available in three depths: 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm to suit popular tile/stone and concrete thicknesses.
HIDE doesn't stop there with choice. They also have the only Combination (hybrid) Skimmer Lid system. This system utilises the strength and quality of a 316L stainless steel lid combined with the Polymer Edge Protector, which insulates the steel lid from any electrical current, harnessing the benefits of each material.
For those who choose a full stainless-steel kit, a predrilled hole is ready to connect earthing wires. This feature ensures compliance with safety standards while providing stainless steel's durability and aesthetic appeal. (Stone Central) (AquaTiles)
Choosing HIDE Skimmer Lids means investing in a product that offers unmatched durability, safety, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance. While other products attempt to replicate these features, they fall short in critical areas such as material quality, safety compliance, and overall user experience. HIDE Skimmer Lids are the superior choice for a seamless and safe poolside.
