Wonderful thinking for something that should have been there in the first place....thats using your head.....and thinking outside the box.....suprised no one has thought of this before...even the manufacturer....better patent the idea
if I may add a few ideas, and others may have some as well..... I have used car door edge moulding for around openings like this, and they come in colors..... also, could have used one of the billet style door trim that is used on many automotive gas door applications, this would provide a door, with latch... |

something like this would be a possible cover option.....
door trim is usually rubber, flexible, and can be cut to size.....usually about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in size...glue is already attached inside the groove but as you say..to each his own.....you got the ball rolling for a problem with something like this....its a start to something great...and more ideas will follow...

Don't you still have to take the front panel off when you clean it out? How do you keep the water from running everywhere.
The first time I cleaned my trap I was not prepared for the amount of water that ran out. Recently when a repairman was out (had to replace a pressure switch). He showed me how the pump will come out of the rubber mount and you can tilt it outside the frame to drain in a bucket or pan. (Mine is on a pedestal). I haven't ever found anything in the trap, but I checked it after washing the dog's rugs and it was clear. |

I had to use a wrench to get it started. The rubber seal fits good. |

Let some of the water out, then replace the filter to stop the flow. |

I slid it back under, and this time got it under the leg as a little bit of water escaped the tray.
Then start to remove the filter.

spray with some vinegar, normally I would let it sit or soak, but, its not really going to matter anyway. As long as the big stuff is off it. |
