Skimmers

A skimmer is a device designed to remove surface debris and contaminants from the water in your hot tub or pool. Its primary purpose is to maintain clean and clear water by removing floating debris such as leaves, branches, insects, and other small particles that may be present on the water's surface.

• Suction opening: The skimmer has an open or submerged suction opening located near the water's surface, allowing water to flow into the skimmer.
• Debris basket: The water flowing through the skimmer passes through a debris basket that captures floating debris. The basket can be easily removed and emptied, making maintenance easier.
• Filter: Some skimmers have a built-in filter or are connected to the hot tub's filtration system. This helps capture even small particles and maintain water clarity.
• Connection to filtration: Skimmers are often integrated into the overall filtration system of the hot tub, helping to maintain overall water quality.
• Installation: Skimmers can be built into the walls of the hot tub or can be connected using a mounting kit. Their placement in strategic locations in the pool or hot tub is key for effective debris collection.

Key Benefits of Skimmers:

1. Effective Debris Removal: Skimmers are designed to efficiently remove surface debris, contributing to the overall health and hygiene of the water in your hot tub or pool.
2. Easy Installation and Maintenance: Most skimmers are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, saving you time and effort.
3. Improved Water Quality: Regular use of a skimmer ensures that the water remains clean and clear, enhancing the overall experience of using your hot tub or pool.
4. Filter Protection: A skimmer helps protect the filtration system by removing larger debris that could clog the filter and reduce its efficiency.

Investing in a quality skimmer for your hot tub or pool is a crucial step in ensuring clean and healthy water that you can enjoy without worries.
