I have a cover on my swimming pool drain that is round, solid in the
middle and small squares around the outside...it is Miami-Dade
approved. It is supposed to be held in place with two screws. My
pool robot frequently gets caught on the lid and I have to push it
off. Somehow one screw came out. I need to replace it...but none of
us can swim well enough to go down and get a closer look.

Hint- it is a lot easier to swim down to the bottom at a shallow angle,
than to try and go straight down to something.

I got a pair of goggles and a nose cover - and today I tried to
inspect the drain. I couldn't get down far enough, just floated up
every time. The drain appears to be held in place by the suction of
the drain - so as long as it's not disturbed it should be o.k. with
the one screw holding it. It is shaped like the Hayward cover in the
picture but don't think it has the Hayward name on it. My robot is a
Hayward....and it probably does need new flappers. Everything is
closed today, I will start calling tomorrow. Judging from today's
outing, someone has to use scuba gear to work on it or we have to
drain the pool enough to work on it. It cost a lot to refill the
pool...the county charges extra here per gallon unless it is the first
time fill.
