Intex Wall Mount Surface Skimmer

Product Information

With Intex Ultra XTR pools, the choice is yours. Hanging skimmers or integrated wall skimmers will work. Your pool pump will now provide suction power to two cleaners. For best results, the manufacturer recommends you have a pool pump with the power of at least 1 HP. The SkimmerMotion automatic pool cleaner complements your existing automatic pool vacuum. However, it only works with suction pool vacuums. To get the best results, install the clip near the return line of the pool. That way, the net catches most of the debris that’s flowing towards the filter.

Robotic pool skimmers also work for all pool types because they paddle around on the surface. Floating pool skimmers need to work in conjunction with a pool vacuum. While the device itself presents no problems with above-ground pools, the vacuum may not be suitable for and might actually damage soft-sided pools. Maintenance and Ease of Use Without all the large leaves clogging it, the pool filter needs less frequent cleaning and it’ll last longer.Best Accessories for Swimming Pools .

The frame is plastic, and the mesh is nylon, so it won’t come to any harm if it is left out in inclement weather. However, it isn’t a heavy-duty pool skimmer and a pole isn’t provided. The Evob pool skimmer will accept standard or telescopic models from 0.79 inches to 1.25 inches in diameter. Pool skimmers are a powerful weapon in your arsenal for keeping your pool clean and extending the shelf life of your pool. It’s more of a semi-automatic skimmer. Unlike other skimmers, you don’t leave it in the pool to do it’s thing. Instead, you attach it to a telescopic pool pole (not included) and then dip it into the pool. As the water flows through the skimmer, it carries along with its leaves, bugs, and whatever debris is floating in the water. Another benefit of the SkimDoctor is that you never have to dunk your hand in the water when removing the skimmer basket. Just pull the top part of the SkimDoctor, and the basket comes out with it.With manual pool skimmers, it’s really just a question of emptying the net. The contents can usually be added to the compost heap. However, because manual skimmers are very low cost, they do get neglected. If left lying on the lawn, someone may eventually stand on it. Or moisture might get into any metal parts and cause rust. Simply standing it against a wall under cover will prevent most problems.

Their pool skimmer attaches easily to the side of your pool with a clamp and adjustable height so that the skimmer sits at the waterline (too low and it doesn’t catch anything, too high all the debris floats out of the basket). If you struggle with leaves, bugs, or pet hair in your pool, this skimmer will save you loads of time. Just hook it up to your return line and watch all the debris move towards the skimmer like magic. It is an essential component for any swimming pool’s maintenance. Without a skimmer, it is impossible to remove the chemicals and debris from the water, increasing the risk of cloudiness and algal growth. With most pool skimmers, it is best to empty the device as soon as the job is finished, or waste can start to rot inside the net or tray. While stationary models with collecting baskets are the exception, clearing them regularly is still a good idea. FAQs

If you prefer to take a more hands-on approach with cleaning the surface of the water, a swimmer rake net is your tool of choice. This device is super simple, and its function and use should be self-explanatory. Key features to look for are the width of the net and a telescoping pole so that you can hit varying depths of the pool. IronBuddy Swim Pool Net Leaf Skimmer

Unlike most pool skimmers, which are attached to the side of the pool and pull water in to collect debris, the SkimmerMotion attaches to your pool vacuum and floats above, cleaning the surface while your pool vacuum takes care of things downstairs. Designed specifically for smaller debris (like bugs), this device takes a few uses to really notice the effect of its patented whirlpool suction design. This suction is barely perceptible—not enough that you would notice while in the water—but slowly works its magic, quietly pulling water in and collecting the nasties you don’t want from the surface of your pool. As the name implies, automatic pool skimmers are a much more hands- off approach to keeping your above-ground pool clean of surface debris. They can either be attached directly to the side-wall of your pool or hooked up to your pool vacuum, automating the collection of pool junk and debris.
