Expert Comparison & Pro Tips

Compared to aftermarket or universal-fit lids, the 85009500 provides a tighter seal and more consistent seating because it’s engineered to original Pentair specs. Universal lids often shift or rock slightly over time, especially in high heat, but OEM construction reduces that risk. The textured top surface also provides better grip when removing the lid for basket cleaning.

Pro Tip: Before ordering, measure your existing lid diameter or check for an Admiral skimmer marking inside the housing to confirm compatibility. If your old lid sits flush inside a recessed collar, this OEM replacement is typically the correct match.

Best For: Restoring Safety & Function to Admiral Skimmers

This lid is ideal for pool owners with older Pentair Admiral skimmers that have cracked, faded, or brittle lids from sun exposure. It’s especially helpful for high-traffic pool decks where safety and flush fitment matter. Replacing the lid prevents debris intrusion and reduces tripping hazards around the skimmer opening.

Best For: In-ground pools with Admiral old-style skimmers
Not Ideal For: Newer Pentair skimmers or other brands with different lid dimensions

Our Expert Verdict: Reliable, Simple, and Worth It

In real-world pool service, skimmer lids are one of the most frequently replaced deck components. The Pentair Admiral Old Style Skimmer Lid 85009500 solves the problem quickly with no installation headaches. It restores safety, keeps debris where it belongs, and maintains the professional look of your pool deck. For homeowners who want the right fit the first time, OEM is always the safer investment.

At Shasta Pool Supply, we back that choice with competitive pricing, fast shipping, and expert guidance from Arizona’s most trusted pool professionals.

How does the Pentair Admiral Old Style lid compare to universal replacement skimmer lids?

The Pentair 85009500 outperforms universal lids because it’s molded specifically for Admiral skimmer tolerances. That means no gaps, no wobble, and no premature wear from improper seating. Universal options may cost less upfront, but OEM fit prevents repeat replacements and ensures long-term durability — making it the smarter value over time.
