STUNNING. A new breed of landscape lids reinventing outdoor living.
|

Drain Cover & Access Cover Options Available
Overview1. HIDE Safety Key
A stainless steel tool to enable the installed HIDE lid to be safely and easily opened/closed. 2. HIDE Height Adjuster Used only when additional height is required. Provides 2mm extra height if inlay material is not thick enough to achieve a flush finish with the top of the Inlay Lid. 3. HIDE Inlay Lid A stainless steel tray which holds the inlay (landscape) materials you’ve chosen eg tile, paver, concrete, decking etc. 4. HIDE Edge Protector A stainless steel frame inserted into a recess within the landscaped area. It protects the coping/surrounds from chipping/breakage when the inlay lid is opened/closed. |

Easy Use
Other landscape lid options can be awkward to manoeuvre, hard to remove, or both. In comparison, HIDE covers are compact, and super easy to remove.
Pool Safe
After care is also a breeze, and only requires occasional attendance by the homeowner, at little to no time or cost.
HIDE lids can only be accessed with the Safety Key, so they are 100% pool safety compliant with AU standards.
Compliance means peace of mind for homeowners, plus legally protects contractors.
HIDE lids also sit flush with their surrounds, so eliminate the tripping hazard experienced with a raised plastic skimmer lid or large access grate.

Australian Pool Standards
The backyard pool is a timeless icon of summer fun.
But there is a serious side to owing your backyard dream - pool safety.
In Australia, there is one hard and fast standard which covers the installation of skimmer box lids which absolutely ALL Australian pools and spas must comply with.
It is Australian Standard AS 1926.3 2010 Swimming Pool Safety – Water Reticulation Systems.
The skimmer box is the main suction point of the pool, attached to a very powerful pump. It’s easy for limbs and hair to become trapped, resulting in serious accidents – especially to children. Additionally, without proper ventilation, children can be trapped at the mouth of the skimmer box due to the build-up of pressure. The Australian Standard AS 1926.3 2010 addresses both issues, and requires that all installed skimmer lids meet two conditions to be compliant and pool safe:

Hidden Skimmer Lid Tile Inserts Are Child Resistant
New Build pool skimmer lids must be child resistant which means they must be locked or heavier than 10.2kg.
|
The pool hidden skimmer lid tile insert cannot be removed manually without the Safety Key – which means it’s 100% child-proof!
Similarly, the keyhole and clearances allows for ventilation which greatly exceeds the level required by the national safety regulations. ALWAYS REMEMBER – the Safety Key must be stored in a secure location, out of reach of children at all times. |

Backed by a 10 year warranty
You know you are purchasing a quality product when you receive a 10 year warranty.
And that’s exactly what you receive with a HIDE kit. HIDE Kits come with a long-standing warranty because it is designed to be set-and-forget. Hide lids are 100% safe, constructed of high-grade materials with a beautiful finish, and maintenance is required only occasionally. HIDE warranty covers the Safety Key, the Inlay Lid and the Edge Protector.
Meanwhile, other traditional landscape lid options can have durability issues which require regular, and often costly, lid replacement. Due to these durability issues, the homeowner usually receives little to no warranty coverage.

Hidden Skimmer Lid Tile Insert Kits Can be Retrofitted to Existing Pools
HIDE skimmer lids (or any HIDE lid!) can usually be easily retrofitted to replace other lid options.
HIDE can be retrofitted into landscapes with pavers, tiles, decking or concrete. If using a paver/tile, you will need a spare to insert into the inlay lid. If you don’t have a spare we can help source one that is a close match to your existing tile/pavers.

General Care of the HIDE Pool Skimmer Lid Tile Insert Kit
It’s a good idea to regularly open your HIDE product and check for and remove any leaf-litter or debris which may have gathered inside the HIDE Edge Protector. If not removed, the debris may cause the HIDE lid to become loose or to sit unevenly.
Check regularly to ensure the HIDE product is fitting well, and is sitting evenly in its recessed area.
Occasionally you might notice some cosmetic discolouration on the stainless steel components of the HIDE product, often known as “tea-staining”. Although HIDE lids are made of marine grade 316 stainless steel, within water environments it’s normal for visible surface rusting to occur. The issue, if treated whenever noticed, will not affect the structural performance of the HIDE product.
Typically the tea-staining will form on the underside of the HIDE lid where residues and salt deposits gather. To clean, all you need is a stainless steel scourer, soapy water and a little elbow grease. Just be sure to use the scourer parallel to the grain direction of the HIDE lid. Rinse thoroughly when done.
Please be aware that if the surface staining is allowed to build up over time, possible rust bleeding may leach onto the HIDE lid inlay or surrounding paving. This is not a fault of the lid and is completely avoidable with occasional cleaning. If allowed to occur over a prolonged period, the leaching may not be able to be removed.
Please note that rain washing is not sufficient in most applications.

What Size HIDE Skimmer Lid Do You Need?
The HIDE product range is available for Skimmer Lids, Access Covers and Drain Covers. The first step is to determine which style of HIDE product you need.
The size of your HIDE product refers to both the outer measurements of the lid, and the thickness (depth) allowed for your inlay materials. Choose your lid to fit the square recess in your landscaped area, and ensure the depth of the lid will fit your inlay materials.
For example, if you have a 30mm thick stone tile, ask for a HIDE-30.
