U.S. Pool Supply Above Ground Pool Surface Skimmer

It is designed for versatility and fits most standard above-ground pools, including those with inflatable collars, tubular structures, and metal frames. The adjustable brackets allow you to secure it to various wall types, but it is specifically engineered for above-ground setups rather than in-ground pools.

Yes, your pool pump must have a minimum flow rate of 800 GPH to create the necessary suction for the skimmer to function properly. If your pump is below this capacity, the skimmer will not be able to pull surface debris into the basket effectively.

The unit is constructed from high-quality, chemical-resistant polypropylene plastic. It is built to endure consistent exposure to standard pool sanitizers and water treatment chemicals without degrading or becoming brittle.

The frequency depends on your pool's environment, such as how many trees are nearby. However, the basket is designed for quick, easy access, so you can check and empty it whenever you notice debris accumulation or a decrease in skimming efficiency.

It significantly reduces the need for manual cleaning by catching floating debris like leaves and insects before they sink. While it handles the surface area very effectively, you will still need to vacuum the pool floor and brush the walls periodically to maintain a completely clean pool.
