Why Hide a Pool Pump or Filter?

Pool equipment is usually placed where it is practical, not where it looks best. Screening can reduce its visibility from the pool, patio, windows or seating areas and make the backyard feel more organized.

What Can Be Screened?

  • Pumps
  • Filters
  • Heaters
  • Valves
  • Pipes
  • Control equipment
  • Chlorination systems
  • Related mechanical equipment

Do Not Fully Enclose the Equipment

Pumps, filters and heaters need access for service and some equipment also needs ventilation. Follow manufacturer clearances, keep working areas open and avoid tightly sealed boxes.

LatticeSmart for Pool Equipment

Decorative panels can create a modern visual barrier around equipment without making it difficult to reach. One screen may be enough, or an L-shaped layout can cover two important viewing angles.

Outdoor performance

No Rust. No Rot. No Fading. Low Maintenance.

What Panel Size Works Best?

3 ft × 6 ft is useful for taller equipment or multiple components. 4 ft × 4 ft is a practical choice for more compact systems.

Maintain Service Access

Technicians should be able to remove lids, change filters, inspect valves and reach electrical or plumbing connections. A removable panel or open side can make this easier.

Before You Install

  • Measure equipment width and height
  • Locate pipes, valves and electrical panels
  • Preserve service and ventilation space
  • Identify the main viewing angle
  • Take photos from the pool and patio
