Pentair Sta-Rite Trap Cover 6" | C3-185P

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right cover size?

Covers are ordered by pool size, and the finished cover is cut larger to give the overlap that holds it in place. Confirm both figures on this page - the pool size the cover fits and the actual cover dimensions - against your measurements.

What is the part number for this cover?

Sta-Rite lists this cover under part number C3-185P. Quote C3-185P when you cross-reference against your equipment manual, an existing part, or a parts diagram, so you are comparing the same revision.

How long does a pool cover last?

Life depends far more on how the cover is handled than on age. Removing debris before it pools, storing it dry and folded rather than bunched, and avoiding dragging it across concrete all extend its service life considerably.

How do I confirm this fits my equipment?

Match the part number stamped on the component you are replacing, or look it up in the parts list for your Sta-Rite equipment. If your model or serial number is not named on this page, send it to us before you order and we will confirm the fit.

What is the difference between a winter cover and a safety cover?

A winter cover is a debris cover held down by water bags or cable and is not designed to carry weight. A safety cover anchors to the deck and is engineered to hold a specified load. Only a properly installed safety cover should be treated as a barrier.

Is there a warranty on this cover?

It carries the standard Sta-Rite manufacturer warranty. The terms are set by Sta-Rite, and on some equipment the coverage only applies when a licensed professional performs the installation. Keep the receipt and packaging until you have confirmed correct operation.
