Skimmer
A skimmer in the pool is responsible for clean and clear water. Through the skimmer, the water is sucked in at the water surface and then filtered. The cleaned water is pumped back into the pool through the inlet nozzle. Basically, a distinction is made between built-in skimmers and suspended skimmers. The built-in skimmer is permanently installed in the pool. A suspended skimmer is a good alternative if you do not have the skimmer permanently installed in the pool.
Frequently asked questions for Skimmer:
The skimmer net prevents larger impurities (leaves, hair, etc.) from getting into the pre-filter or supports sand filters that have a pump without a pre-filter; this prevents the water wheel from getting stuck in the pump.
This is normal behavior. Compared to other alternatives, the Intex skimmer does not have a lock to prevent it from floating up. To counteract this, weigh down the strainer basket or remove these parts from the skimmer housing during bathing.

The skimmer is mounted directly on the pool with the bracket included in the scope of delivery and connected to the filter pump. Please note that the filter pump must be switched on so that the skimmer can clean the water surface.
