Quick overview
- Genuine Pentair The factory 500103 StarGuard cover, not a generic drain grate.
- Cover and ring together Supplied as the main drain cover with its short ring rather than the cover alone.
- 8 inch size Sized for 8 inch StarGuard main drain applications.
- Short ring version Pentair builds this cover with more than one ring depth, so the short ring is the detail to confirm.
- White finish The standard white color, which blends with most plaster and light interior finishes.
- A wear item on a schedule Drain covers age in sunlight and chemistry and are replaced on a set interval, not only when broken.

Product details
The Pentair 500103 is an 8 inch StarGuard main drain cover supplied with a short ring, in white. It is the genuine Pentair part.
Cover plus ring
This listing is the cover and the short ring together, not the cover on its own. Pentair builds the StarGuard cover with more than one ring depth, so the short ring is the detail worth confirming against the sump you are fitting to. Take the old cover off and compare before ordering if you are unsure.
Why covers get replaced
Main drain covers spend their lives under water, under sunlight and under pool chemistry, and they age whether or not anything visibly breaks. A cover that is cracked, chalky, loose in its ring or missing fasteners is due for replacement. It is a small part with a serious job, and it is not something to leave until next season.
