Inlet made of quality ABS plastic, with a stainless steel front plate, for optimal water circulation. Side wall inlet for concrete-lined pools, with an external-threaded connection.
Maintaining the quality of the pool water depends largely on the circulation system. The wall inlet is part of this system as an essential element of proper water circulation. The main function of inlets is to return filtered, sometimes heated, chemically treated water back to the pool. If possible, the wall-inlet should be installed in a pool with a skimmer / recessed water surface, opposite the skimmer for optimal water circulation.
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a thermoplastic polymer with good impact resistance, high hardness and strength, good heat and chemical resistance, as well as good noise and vibration absorbing properties. Its brilliance lies in the combination of the different materials.
Acrylonitrile increases heat and chemical resistance, butadiene increases durability and toughness, and styrene improves workability, reduces costs and provides a glossy surface.
Stainless steel (also known as inox) is a steel alloy with a higher chromium content, more resistant to corrosion and staining, but contrary to its name, it is susceptible to corrosion, especially under low-oxygen, high salinity or non-ventilated conditions. The chromium oxide forms a passive layer that inhibits/decreases the further corrosion of the surface, and prevents rust from penetrating into the inner layers of the steel.
