Frequently Asked Questions

What pipe sizes does this safety suction cover fit?

This cover is designed for standard 40mm or 50mm pressure pipe using a slip-fit connection. Simply select the correct size at checkout to match your pool's existing pipework.

Is this cover suitable for concrete pools?

Yes — the Waterco Safety Suction Cover is specifically designed for concrete pool installations. It is not intended for fibreglass or vinyl-liner pools where different fitting types are typically used.

What does "slip fit" mean?

Slip fit means the fitting pushes directly into the pipe without any threading or gluing required. The cover slides into your 40mm or 50mm pressure pipe and is then secured with the centre screw for a firm, watertight hold.

Does this cover meet Australian pool safety requirements?

The Waterco Safety Suction Cover is engineered to provide a large suction area (7,500mm²) that reduces entrapment risk in line with pool safety guidelines. We recommend confirming compliance with your local council or pool inspector for your specific installation.

What is the maximum flow rate?

The cover supports a maximum flow rate of 245 litres per minute (lpm), making it suitable for most residential pool pump setups without restricting circulation.

What colours are available?

The cover is available in White, Black, Grey, and Clear. Select your preferred colour and pipe size (40mm or 50mm) using the variant options on this page.

How do I install it?

Push the slip-fit tail into your 40mm or 50mm pressure pipe until the cover sits flush. Tighten the centre screw to lock it in place. No adhesive or special tools are required for a standard installation.
