Pool Skimmers

Pool skimmers are essential components of your swimming pool’s filtration system. They remove debris from the water’s surface—like leaves, insects, pollen, and oils—before it sinks to the bottom, helping to keep the water clean, clear, and safe.

A pool skimmer is a built-in or floating device that draws in water from the surface of the pool. As water flows through it, a basket catches debris, and the water then moves on to the pump and filter system for deeper cleaning.

How Do Pool Skimmers Work?

• The pool pump creates suction that pulls water into the skimmer.

• A weir flap (a small floating door) allows water and debris in but helps trap debris when the pump is off.

• Inside the skimmer, a basket collects large debris like leaves or bugs.

• Water passes through and continues to the filter system for finer cleaning.

Why Pool Skimmers Matter

• Prevents clogs in the pump and filtration system

• Improves water circulation and quality

• Helps keep pool chemicals balanced

• Reduces manual cleaning time
