Skimmer

A skimmer is an essential component in pool filtration systems, designed to remove debris such as leaves, insects, and other floating particles from the surface of the water. Typically installed along the pool's edge, skimmers use suction to draw water in and trap debris in a collection basket or net, preventing them from sinking to the pool’s bottom or clogging the filtration system. Skimmers help maintain clean, clear water by continuously filtering out unwanted particles before they have a chance to contaminate the pool. Made from durable materials like plastic or stainless steel, skimmers are easy to maintain and clean, ensuring optimal performance. In addition to their practical benefits, skimmers contribute to water circulation by drawing water into the filtration system, which helps evenly distribute chemicals throughout the pool. Overall, skimmers are a key element in ensuring a safe and clean swimming environment.
