The Finishing Touches That Make a Difference
The right pool fittings can elevate your pool’s performance and visual appeal
When designing a swimming pool, it’s often the finer details that have the biggest impact. Pool fittings such as return jets, drains, skimmer lids and air diffusers play an important role in both the functionality and appearance of a pool.

While traditional white PVC fittings remain common, many homeowners and designers are now opting for more refined alternatives that blend seamlessly into modern pool interiors.
Stainless-steel fittings have become increasingly popular thanks to their sleek appearance, durability and ability to complement darker tiles and contemporary finishes.
Australian company Flolux specialises in premium 316L marine-grade stainless-steel pool and spa fittings for both concrete and fibreglass pools. The range includes return jets, suction fittings, air diffusers and bubblers designed to deliver a more streamlined, high-end finish than traditional PVC options.
As pool design continues to embrace cleaner lines and resort-style aesthetics, fittings are increasingly chosen to visually disappear into the pool interior while still delivering long-lasting performance and durability.
WHY YOUR CHOICE OF SKIMMER LID MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK with AQUEA
Australian pool safety standards require child-resistant skimmer box lids to help prevent unauthorised access around pools. V-LOCK® lids feature a unique locking mechanism designed to comply with Australian Standard AS1926.3, offering peace of mind for both builders and homeowners.
Designed to disappear
V-LOCK® lids are designed to sit flush with the surrounding pool deck and can be inlaid with matching porcelain, stone, timber, pavers or concrete for a seamless finish. The result is a clean, minimalist look that blends effortlessly into contemporary outdoor spaces.
Smarter materials, simpler installation
Made from reinforced engineering polymer, V-LOCK® lids are durable, UV-resistant and non-conductive, eliminating the need for electrical bonding. This simplifies installation while avoiding issues such as corrosion or tea staining associated with stainless steel.
A small detail, a big difference
While often overlooked, skimmer lids play an important role in pool safety, usability and overall aesthetics. Products like V-LOCK® show how even the most functional pool components can contribute to a more refined and high-performing outdoor space.
