Sta-Rite 08650-0058 Skimmer Lid U3 Replacement
The Sta-Rite Skimmer Lid 08650-0058, also commonly referred to as the U3 or U-3 skimmer lid, is an OEM-quality replacement cover designed for compatible Sta-Rite in-ground pool skimmers. The skimmer lid plays an important role in protecting the skimmer housing, maintaining safe pool deck conditions, and allowing proper access for routine skimmer basket maintenance.
A cracked, warped, or missing skimmer lid can create a safety hazard on the pool deck and expose the skimmer housing to debris, sunlight, and damage. Replacing a worn lid with the Sta-Rite 08650-0058 helps restore a flush, secure cover that protects the skimmer opening while maintaining a clean, finished appearance around the pool.
Manufactured to original equipment specifications, this lid is designed for proper fit, durability, and long-term performance in residential pool environments.
