Hayward GM Design Skimmer Trim Ring - Part Number SKDX223
Restore your pool's sleek design with the Hayward GM skimmer cover
Enhance the in-wall fittings of your pool with this Grand Meurtrière (GM) skimmer cover, part number SKDX223 or 59844318.
This pool screw cover from the renowned Hayward brand is the essential technical accessory for neatly concealing the sealing flange and hardware of your skimmer from the Design line.
Made of high-density injection-molded plastic, this trim offers remarkable resistance to premature aging and UV radiation at the waterline.
Its technical design fits to the millimeter and attaches by simply clipping onto the skimmer body, ensuring a secure hold against wave action and the movement of robotic pool cleaners.
It is the ideal technical solution for replacing a yellowed, cracked, or missing trim frame, restoring a neat and perfectly smooth appearance to your pool walls.
Jardiboutique Tip: Installation and Maintenance
Clean the mounting surfaces before clipping the frame into place..
To ensure your Hayward SKDX223 trim frame installs smoothly, we recommend lightly brushing the skimmer flange to remove any accumulated mineral deposits.
Moderate manual pressure is more than enough to engage the locking tabs; never use a blunt tool or a screwdriver as a lever, as this could break the plastic locking clips.

Hayward’s refined aesthetics and durability
This Design GM skimmer cover plays a key aesthetic role by concealing the mounting flange and fastening screws, which can sometimes oxidize or accumulate unsightly debris at the waterline.
The materials selected by Hayward’s laboratories guarantee excellent resistance to the chemical stresses of common pool water treatments, whether using chlorine tablets, bromine, or a salt electrolysis system.
By installing this genuine replacement part, you preserve the visual consistency of your equipment and provide additional mechanical protection for the underlying seals against minor impacts.
