Product Description
The CMP (Custom Molded Products) Skimmer Cover and Collar (25544-900-000) is a heavy-duty, professional-grade replacement set designed for standard 8-inch pool skimmers. This set includes both the "deck ring" (collar) and the removable "lid" (cover) to ensure a flush, safe fit with your pool deck.
Key Features
- Reinforced Durability: The lid features a "honeycomb" or ribbed underside design. This prevents the cover from warping or "bowing" over time due to sun exposure and heavy foot traffic.
- UV-Resistant Material: Molded from high-quality, weather-resistant plastic that resists yellowing and becoming brittle in harsh sunlight or chemical environments.
- Non-Slip Texture: The top surface is embossed with a textured pattern to provide traction, reducing the risk of slips when the deck area is wet.
- Two-Piece Set: Includes the adjustable collar, which allows you to level the lid perfectly with the pool deck during installation or renovations.
- Universal Style: Finished in a classic "Polar White" to match most standard concrete and cool-deck finishes.

⚠️ Critical Deck Safety Warnings
TRIP HAZARD: Never use a lid that is cracked or does not sit perfectly flush. A loose or "raised" skimmer lid is a leading cause of backyard pool injuries.
WEIGHT LIMIT: Designed for foot traffic only. Excessive weight from lawn tractors or motorized carts will crack the lid, creating a dangerous hole in the deck.
REPLACEMENT RULE: If you can see the internal "ribs" from the top due to plastic wear, replace the lid immediately as the structural integrity is compromised.
💡 Professional Installation & Maintenance Tips
- The "Anti-Chatter" Fix: Apply a tiny bead of silicone waterproof grease (not oil-based) to the rim where the lid meets the collar for a snug, silent fit.
- Leveling the Collar: During a remodel, use dabs of silicone to tack the collar to the skimmer body before concrete is set to prevent it from shifting.
- The Winter Trick: In freezing climates, cover the lid with an outdoor mat to prevent expanding ice from snapping the plastic tabs.
- Vacuuming Prep: Ensure the collar is clear of sand and pebbles before reseating the lid; small rocks prevent a flush fit and create trip hazards.
