Floor Inlet Grill Type
Floor Inlet Grill Type is a specialized return fitting installed on the pool floor to introduce filtered water from below, promoting upward circulation, improved chemical mixing, and enhanced debris suspension for more effective skimming and filtration. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials such as ABS, stainless steel, or bronze, this inlet features a sturdy grille cover that diffuses flow evenly while preventing large debris from entering the plumbing.
Designed to complement wall returns, floor inlets help create a multi-directional circulation pattern that reduces dead zones, minimizes temperature stratification, and improves overall hydraulic efficiency. The grille design is often compliant with safety standards to prevent entrapment and ensure smooth, non-turbulent water reintroduction.
Ideal for large commercial pools, lap pools, therapy pools, and residential pools with complex shapes, the Floor Inlet Grill Type is particularly effective in supporting floor-level cleaning systems and enhancing water turnover in deep areas. It is compatible with standard return plumbing and can be adjusted for flow rate during installation.
Easy to install during pool construction and simple to maintain, this inlet requires only occasional inspection and cleaning of the grille. Its contribution to balanced circulation helps maintain clearer water, reduces chemical demand, and extends the life of pool surfaces and equipment.
