Casa Newport Skimmer Lids
This is the Casa Newport 9.9” Skimmer
Lid. What makes the Casa Newport skimmer lid different is the unique
design which adds a lot of style to your existing pool and deck. The
Casa Newport lid is a faux metal lid, although they do make an actual
metal lids also.
I really like the look of these skimmer
lids and first saw them at a local pool show a couple of years ago.
These are about 2-3 times the price of your standard skimmer lid so
figure to spend $30 -$45 for the plastic lid depending on the size
and style. The real metal lids will run you from $60- $80. These
aren't inexpensive but they really look great.
I know a few small manufacturers
personally like Tal from Multi-Tork and the cost for making a product
is not cheap. So the prices will be higher since it cost more to make
the product on a smaller scale. It is not that the manufacturer has a
200% mark-up, it just cost more to make and they have to pass that
cost to the consumer.
Replacing your skimmer lid with the
Casa Newport lid is a simple way to give your deck and pool a fresh
and modern look. I can't tell you how many $60,000 pools I have seen
where the builder sticks a white plastic lid on the deck. I am
surprised that more builders don't install skimmer lids with more
style like the Casa Newport lid.
The Bronze lid in this video looks so
good on the pool decks that I demoed it on. It is a very real looking
plastic lid and it is made of high quality plastic. It fits well in
the 9.9” skimmer openings and I like the two large finger grasps to
pull it off.
The Casa Newport Skimmer Lid will fit
most skimmers including Hayward, Sta-Rite, Waterway, Swim Quip and
U3. I found it to fit very well in the Hayward and Swim Quip skimmers
and a little tight in the Waterway skimmers.
The 9.9” lid will not fit Pentair or American Product skimmers as those are 9.1” in diameter. It is
pretty simple to tell which skimmer lid you have as the manufacturer
will print their name directly on the lid. For the Pentair and
American Products skimmer you can order a 9.1” lid like this one
found here on Amazon.com:
If you are unsure and have an off brand
or generic skimmer lid on your deck now you can contact the company
directly from their website. You can also find other colors on their
website. You can order directly from the manufacturer on their
website once you are there:
To order the Bronze version see in this
video on amazon.com:
So if you are looking for an affordable
way to spruce up your pool and deck, the Casa Newport Skimmer lid is
a great idea and an easy way to transform your pool area.
