spa, or hot tub deck level. Skimmer deck lid is made of impact and weather resistant materials, but
extended use (5-7 years) may lead to reduced strength. Regularly check condition of skimmer lid. Look
for cracks, chips, deterioration of plastic, etc. Replace deck lid if any sign of damage or deterioration is
found.
