from the Ady, Aquareva and Série France ranges. It includes the faceplate, sealing gaskets, decorative cover and fixing screws, so you can
renew the entire front assembly in one operation when the old parts are warped, leaking or discoloured.
What is included in the skimmer faceplate kit
- Front faceplate (bride) for small mouth skimmer opening.
- Complete gasket set for a watertight seal between skimmer body, wall and faceplate.
- Decorative trim frame (enjoliveur) that hides screws and gives a clean finished look.

Compatibility and typical applications
This kit is designed for BWT Aquareva and Série France petite meurtrière skimmers used on concrete, panel or wooden pools that require a small mouth opening.
It replaces several older references for separate faceplates, gaskets and covers that are now obsolete and consolidates them into a single original kit.
- Fits Ady and Série France small mouth skimmers listed with reference 40031050.
- Compatible with Aquareva petite meurtrière skimmers on many in-ground installations.
- Also used on certain wooden pools (for example Odysséa) equipped with small mouth skimmers using the same front assembly.
Always compare the external frame dimensions and opening size of your existing faceplate with the values above and check the parts list of your skimmer.
If your documentation refers to 40031050 for the faceplate kit, this assembly is the correct replacement.
When to use this skimmer faceplate kit
The faceplate and its gaskets are critical for sealing the liner or wall finish around the skimmer opening.
Ageing plastic, UV exposure and mechanical stress can lead to deformation, leaks or cracks, while the decorative cover can yellow or break.
- Use this kit when you have leaks around the skimmer mouth due to aged or compressed gaskets.
- Replace the front assembly when the faceplate is cracked, warped or pulling away from the wall.
- Renew the kit if the decorative frame is broken or heavily discoloured and you want a clean white finish again.
- Choose the complete kit when several individual parts (faceplate, gasket, cover, screws) need replacement at the same time.
Installation guidelines
- Stop the filtration and lower the water level if necessary to work comfortably around the skimmer opening.
- Remove the existing decorative cover, then unscrew and take off the old faceplate, keeping the liner or wall finish supported.
- Remove the old gasket(s) and carefully clean the sealing surfaces on the skimmer body and the pool wall.
- Position the new gaskets around the opening and align the new faceplate so that all screw holes match.
- Install the new screws gradually, tightening in a criss cross pattern to compress the gaskets evenly without over tightening.
- Clip or place the decorative cover (enjoliveur) over the faceplate to hide the screws and finish the opening neatly.
- Refill the pool to the normal water level and check for any seepage around the skimmer during the first hours of operation.
Correct installation of the BWT Aquareva skimmer faceplate kit ensures a durable, watertight connection between the skimmer and the pool structure,
while restoring a clean white finish around the small mouth skimmer opening.
