A part of the circulation system that removes debris from the surface of the water by drawing surface water through it.
white, box-like compartment on the side of the pool which automatically skims the top few inches of water, removing debris and oily film. Contains a removable basket which needs to be cleared of debris periodically.
Channels placed on the surface of the cast to scour off the cast iron and slag.
the water-level device, in the pool wall, that aids in the removal of floating debris and serves as a filter intake.
A device in the pool or spa wall that continuously removes the surface water and floating debris to be taken away by the filter. A hand skimmer net can be used manually to "dip" large floating debris from the water.
A device that removes leaves and other debris from the pond surface. Skimmers
An inlet at water level to catch large debris thus preventing damage to the filter.
gull-like seabird that flies along the surface of the water with an elongated lower mandible immersed to skim out food
a device for recovering spilled oil from the water's surface
a rake that is used to pull out objects from the water, surely you remember the life guard in the summer walking around the pool and fishing out all the dead insects, leaves and such from the swimming pool
a type of drain that is installed on the wall of a pool or spa and is connected to the suction line of the motorized pump
a very handy piece of equipment that serves as a mechanical filter in that it removes leaves and other floating debris very well
A fixture mounted in the side wall of a pool, through which surface water is removed from the pool for the purpose of recirculation.
Available in a variety of operating frequencies, Skimmer® transducers feature a low profile for high-speed performance...even up to 70 mph! The patented design helps prevent cavitation and other interference that affects sonar performance. Finely tuned to provide exceptional echo sounding, transom-mounted models feature a kick-up bracket for protection against impact with debris and obstructions.
A motor-driven paddle device consisting of several rectangular paddles and a drive system. The paddles skim pellets from water surface into a containment system.
An inlet at the water level to catch large debris floating on the water.
a piece of equipment that removes floating oil from water
A device installed through the wall of a pool or spa that is connected to the suction line of the pump that draws water and floating debris in the water flow from the surface without causing much flow restriction.
Device in the spa that continuously pulls the surface water and floating debris from the spa to be removed by the filter. Hand skimmer net can be used manually to "dip" floating debris from the water.
Any aircraft equipped to pick up water while moving on or over water.
A device that is installed at the water line of the pool and is plumbed to the filter system which serves as a way to collect surface debris.
A mechanical pre-filter designed to remove surface debris and house the submersible pump.
A box set into the edge of the pool with mouth open to the pool, just at water level. It connects to the main circulating pump suction pipe. It both channels water to the pump and skims leaves, debris, etc., off the pool surface. A removable deck cover allows for cleaning.
A device installed through the wall of a pool or spa that is connected to the suction line of the pump that draws water and floating debris in from the surface of the water. The skimmer basket catches large debris while the filter traps smaller particles.
a device in the pool that aids in the removal of floating debris (leaves, bugs) being taken into the filter system.
Device which removes floating contaminants.
A surface skimmer is a plumbing fitting set at water level, containing a weir mechanism and a debris basket. The skimmer is part of the suction side circulation system.
a device used to take up or remove floating matter from the surface of a liquid
A device installed in the wall of a pool that is connected to the suction line of the pump. The suction pulls in water and floating contaminants.
The spa's skimmer is located at the waterline, and may incorporate a removable skimmer basket (shown). It is often where the filter cartridge is housed (not shown). The skimmer traps large debris prior to filtration.
A box-like compartment in the hot tub through which debris, oily film and contaminants flow into the filter when the pump is on. Some have a removable basket to collect large debris.
Not the Builder! Typically refers to the pool. It is an inlet where the pool water is sucked from the pool water surface by the pool pump through the filtration equipment and returned to the pool as fresh filtered water.
A part of the pool wall through which water is sucked out of the pool and into the plumbing which leads to the pool filter.
Surface strainer(s) at the overflow or outflow point(s) of a pool, to screen out leaves or other floating debris. It is often used to add chemicals, particularly tablets, to the re-circulating water.
A device or tool for removing slag and dross from the surface of molten metal. See Dross, Slag.
The Skimmers are a small family of tern-like birds in the order Charadriiformes, which also includes the waders, gulls and auks.
