Care Guide
Maintenance is required.
Regular Cleaning: Clean and rinse the stainless steel parts with clean, fresh water frequently to remove debris and reduce the effects of pool chemicals.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the protective layer of stainless steel, leading to 'tea staining'.

Cross-sectional view
A) Product Order Code
The product order code of a HIDE Kit represents the product, size and depth. For instance, the HCON306-40 is a HIDE CONcrete Cover, 306mm square and suits wet-pour concrete 43 mm in total thickness (40mm nominal).
B) Material Depth
Choosing the right HIDE Kit starts with knowing the depth of your chosen material to be infilled into the cover.
From the Material Depth column (B), choose a HIDE Kit that will suit the thickness of your material.
C) Infill Cover Size
The HIDE Infill Cover securely holds your chosen surface material for a seamless finish. It lifts easily to provide discreet access to the concealed service points. See the installation instructions for more technical detail.
D) Infill Cover Internal Depth
This measurement indicates the maximum infill cover depth for this kit. Add together the thickness of your chosen surface material and the adhesive (up to 3 mm) to ensure they fit within this depth, allowing the cover to sit perfectly flush (as per installation instructions). The kit includes adhesive and an optional 2 mm acrylic height adjuster, which can be used to fill any excess void between the infill material, adhesive, and the base of the cover.
E) Frame Size
The Frame Size (E) refers to the overall external dimensions of the frame, which determine the total footprint of the kit. This measurement is used to calculate the required recess size in the surrounding surface. Note: Leave a 1-2 mm expansion gap around the frame, filled with flexible filler, to allow for seasonal expansion.
F) Frame External Depth
The frame’s External Depth is greater than that of the infill cover. This extra depth means the bedding or substrate beneath the frame must be recessed during installation to accommodate the frame’s profile. Correct preparation ensures the frame sits flush with the surrounding surface, providing a precise fit and maintaining the overall seamless finish of the HIDE Cover.
G) Frame Access Opening
The Access Opening is the clear opening within the frame that allows the skimmer basket and other components to pass through freely when the Infill Cover is removed. When selecting the correct kit, consider this dimension alongside the depth to ensure suitability.
H) Electrical Compliance
Conductive components near pools
Stainless steel components (e.g., HIDE Edge Protector and tray) are conductive. Local regulations in many European countries require supplementary equipotential bonding of fixed metal parts within the pool safety zones. Where required, the Edge Protector includes a bonding/earthing hole to accept a licensed electrician’s bonding connection.
Important: Requirements vary by country and installation. HIDE does not provide earthing/bonding design. Consult a licensed electrician to assess local code obligations and complete any bonding.
