Product Overview

This skimmer is used as part of the pool circulation system to draw surface water and floating debris into the skimmer basket area. By collecting debris before it moves through the plumbing, the skimmer helps reduce the load on the pump basket and filtration equipment.

The 2" spigot x 2.5" spigot configuration should be matched to the pool’s plumbing layout and installation requirements. Proper skimmer placement is important because surface debris removal depends on water level, return flow direction, and the skimmer’s position in relation to pool circulation patterns.

The water bonded design supports bonding integration as part of the overall pool electrical safety system when installed correctly. During installation, the pool wall opening, plumbing connection, bonding requirements, gasket or sealing surfaces, and deck elevation should be reviewed carefully.

Routine maintenance should include emptying the skimmer basket, checking the weir door operation, inspecting the cover and collar area, and looking for cracks, leaks, or debris restrictions. Keeping the skimmer clean and properly maintained helps support efficient surface skimming, circulation performance, and long-term pool equipment protection.
