Pool Skimmers for Sale

A swimming pool needs proper circulation and constant filtration in order to maintain healthy, clean water. One of the ways to do this is with a pool skimmer kit. It helps to clean by skimming water and capturing floating debris such as leaves, flower petals, dirt, twigs, dead insects, and oily sunblock remnants while it's still on the surface of the water.

But what is a pool skimmer anyway? Pool skimmers capture floating debris before it can sink to the bottom of the pool. On inground pools, most skimmers are built into its upper sides where the suction draws debris and traps it. You can access your pool’s skimmer via the pool deck area through a hatch or trapdoor of sorts. Pool skimmer kits typically are designed for a convenient location to attach a suction line for a pool vacuum.

A pool skimmer is commonly made of plastic, (PVC), or precast concrete. The skimming action is carried out via the pool weir, which regulates the amount of water entering the skimmer. A skimmer must be installed with an equalizer line to help prevent air from being sucked into the system if evaporation causes the water level to drop below the weir level. 

One of the most vital pool accessories are pool wall skimmers, which serve to remove floating debris from your pool so that the water is clean and enticing. Pool skimmers are important for both above ground and inground pools, and are installed near the surface of your pool to catch floating debris before it sinks to the bottom of your pool. The most common pool skimmer parts include skimmer baskets, skimmer covers, and the skimmer weir flap over which water flows.

Whether you’re looking for an above ground pool skimmer or inground pool skimmers is very important as they are quite different. Above ground pool skimmers contain a faceplate and gasket parts to seal up to both sides of the pool wall. In-ground pool skimmers also have faceplates and gaskets, but like concrete pool skimmers, are designed to be wrapped in concrete to hold them firmly to the pool deck and pool wall. A pool skimmer vac plate is a popular skimmer accessory that allows you to vacuum into the skimmer basket. This item seals up around the skimmer basket and traps vacuumed debris in the larger, much easier to empty skimmer basket, keeping your pump basket clean. 

One of the most important skimmer pool parts, aside from the skimmer basket, is the skimmer weir. Foam filled weir doors allow for more effective skimming by speeding up water velocity. Also, skimmer weirs stand-up straight to keep debris trapped inside the skimmer when the pump shuts off. Skimmer equalizers or skimmer floats, and pool skimmer trimmer flaps, are used to balance water flow between the main drain and skimmer. We supply many swimming pool skimmer accessories to improve pool skimmer action, such as the Skim-It skimmer arm, or the Skim Bag skimmer filter bags, or the pool skimmer sock. 

Leaking pool skimmers is a common issue because pool skimmers are usually constructed of plastic. The skimmer for your concrete pool may separate and can be repaired with plaster mix or epoxy pool putty. For vinyl pools, replacing the faceplate and gaskets fixes a leaking skimmer.
