Pool Skimmer: Indispensable Helper for Clean Water

Dust, pollen, leaves, and insects — they all usually end up on the surface of your pool. If not removed in time, they will sink to the bottom and the water quality will start to deteriorate quickly. How can you prevent this? The solution is having a skimmer – a clever helper that no efficient pool maintenance can do without.

What is a skimmer, and what is it used for?

It is a device that collects impurities from water surface. It is placed on the pool edge and, with the help of the pool filter pump suction, it sucks in everything that floats on the surface – leaves, insects, pollen, and small debris. The skimmer catches everything that would later end up at the bottom of the pool.

Why is the skimmer so important?

The pool water surface is the first place where impurities come. Without a skimmer, you have to regularly clean the water manually with a net or risk rapid contamination. The pool skimmer makes this process automatic. The water stays cleaner, the filtration is less stressed, and using the pool is safe and hygienic.

Hanging skimmer – ideal for above-ground pools

 If you have an above-ground pool, a hanging skimmer is the ideal choice. It is simply attached to the pool wall and connected to the filter system. It uses the power of the flow to trap anything that does not belong in your pool.
