Skimmers

What is a pool skimmer?

If you are thinking about building a pool, you already have one or you are simply curious to know what a pool skimmer is, at Poolplus Group we will tell you. This small product is part of the pool filtration next to the drains or filter. The skimmer is located inside the pool near the top edge on a wall and has a small gate that moves with the movement of the water. It collects and removes surface debris from the water, such as leaves, bugs and other floating debris, to keep the pool clean and free of clogs.

How many skimmers does a pool need?

The number of skimmers needed depends on the size and shape of the pool. As a general rule, at least one skimmer is recommended for every 25 linear meters of pool perimeter. At Grupo PoolPlus you can find all the skimmers necessary for your pool.

How do you clean a pool skimmer?

To clean a skimmer, you must turn off the pool pump and remove the waste basket. The waste should be emptied and the basket cleaned before placing it back in the skimmer.

When should skimmer components be replaced?

Baskets and floating gates should be checked regularly and replaced if they show signs of wear or damage.

Remember that proper maintenance of the skimmer is essential to ensure optimal operation and guarantee a clean and safe pool for swimmers. Find them at Grupo PoolPlus, pool accessories manufacturing store.
