Pool Skimmers

The Typical Pool Skimmer (Inground)

The pool skimmer is a device designed to draw leaves and floating debris off of the surface. The skimmer valve at the equipment should be left fully open at most times. Do not run a pool on the skimmers alone, unless there is a problem with the drain.
