Practical considerations and usage tips

• Since this is a replacement cover only, verify that the Hydro Air main drain body is compatible and that the 6" diameter matches your existing opening.
• Keep in mind the flow ratings: higher pipe diameters (2") yield greater flow potential, which can influence pump sizing and overall circulation in your pool.
• When replacing, ensure seal integrity around the edge to maintain suction performance and prevent air leaks or loss of prime.
• Refer to AquaStar’s part mapping to confirm compatibility if you’re consolidating multiple old identifiers; this helps prevent sourcing the wrong drain cover for your specific model.
