Combination Skimmer Lid Kits (Stainless Steel / Polymer Hybrid)

HIDE Combination Kits pair our 316 stainless steel lid with a colour-matched, non-conductive polymer frame. The polymer frame insulates the stainless lid (so no earthing is required) and is designed to visually disappear once installed — it blends into surrounding grout and tile tones.

When fitted, you’re only looking at the very top edge (around 2mm) of the kit, which is why the polymer colour integrates so easily into the surrounding finish.

Combination Kits are available in 342mm and 306mm skimmer lids, with a matching 206mm access cover, all square.

HIDE’s proven safety key system provides child-resistant access and Australian pool safety compliance, as the lid cannot be removed manually.

Choose from colour and depth options to suit tile/stone builds, including a 40mm concrete infill option (Ash only) for thicker applications.

New Product Release

Concrete Infill Polymer Covers now available

Concrete Infill Non-Conductive Covers

HIDE has just released Australia’s only fully non-conductive concrete infill Skimmer Lid. The removable 316 Stainless Steel Concrete Infill Skimmer Lid does not need to be earthed because a non-conductive Polymer Edge Protector fully insulates it. HIDE’s internationally awarded innovative Skimmer Lids are a game changer in concrete.

  • 43mm concrete lid depth
  • Two easy-form keyways and four lugs for optimal strength
  • Supported by 2mm of 316L stainless steel
  • Insulated by an advanced polymer recess frame
  • Ash Colour to match the concrete
  • No Earthing or bonding is required
  • Sizes: 342mm Skimmer Lids & 206mm Access Covers.
  1. HIDE Stainless Steel Skimmer Lids have a pre-drilled hole for a licensed electrician to attach an earthing wire.
  2. HIDE Polymer components are non-conductive and do not require earthing.

Powder Coating is not a solution

Don’t be misled into thinking powder-coating is a suitable earthing solution. Master Electricians Association (MAE) is unsatisfied that powder-coated items are non-conductive. “The coating is too thin and will fail (become conductive) as soon as the brittle coating is compromised or scratched” MAE.
