The Pentair Admiral Skimmer Ring Seat Assembly allows for a replacement of your Admiral skimmer ring seat without buying and replumbing an entire skimmer. These rings can crack from intense sun exposure or chlorine exposure from having tablets in the skimmer basket. 

Who is this for?

Pool owners replacing a cracked skimmer ring are relieved to find that their ring is replaceable. Older or non-standard concrete cutouts may not fit this ring. It's designed to fit new admiral skimmer models, with 2 screw ports on the lid.

Expert Comparison & Pro Tips

Compared to aftermarket seat kits, the Pentair 85000600 delivers superior fit and long-term durability because it’s engineered to OEM tolerances. While universal skimmer seats exist, they often require sanding or trimming and may not seal as reliably — leading to future leaks. When installing, inspect the surrounding skimmer throat and walls for any chips or damage; even a perfect seat won’t seal properly against a compromised skimmer wall. A thin bead of silicone around the seat perimeter can help secure and weatherproof the fit without affecting vacuum flow.

Pro Tip: Grease any O-rings and ensure the skimmer lid gasket is in good condition when replacing the seat — a fresh seat works best with fresh seals.

Best For: Skimmer Repair & Seal Restoration

Perfect for pool owners whose Admiral skimmer has a cracked or deteriorated seat, this assembly restores the foundation your skimmer relies on. If your skimmer lid doesn’t sit flush or you’re experiencing loss of suction at the skimmer, replacing the ring seat can immediately correct the issue. While it’s the OEM part for Admiral systems, it’s not ideal for non-Admiral skimmers — always verify compatibility before buying.

Best for:
• Admiral skimmer repair jobs
• Preventing water bypass around skimmer faceplate
• Improving suction and debris pickup

Not ideal for:
• Non-Admiral pool skimmer models
• Skimmer faceplate or lid replacement needs (separate parts)

Our Expert Verdict: Reliable & Long-Lasting OEM Replacement

The Pentair Admiral Skimmer Ring Seat Assembly (85000600) is a dependable fix when your skimmer seat shows wear or damage. Its OEM fitment makes installation intuitive for DIYers, and the UV-resistant construction holds up season after season. By restoring a proper seal at the skimmer faceplate, you protect your filtration system, improve vacuuming efficiency, and avoid water waste. Choose this trusted Pentair part and count on fast performance and lasting results — backed by ShastaPoolSupply.com’s expertise, competitive pricing, and fast shipping.

How do I know if I need the 85000600 skimmer ring seat assembly?

If your skimmer lid sits unevenly, you notice loss of suction near the skimmer, or water seems to flow around the edge of the skimmer rather than into it, the existing seat may be cracked, warped, or worn. Replacing it with the Pentair 85000600 restores the correct seating surface and helps maintain proper pool circulation and skimmer effectiveness.
