Pool Skimmer Troubleshooting Guide

During Australian summers, leaf and insect debris are frequent. Empty skimmer baskets at least twice a week and check for clogs in the pool skimmer skimmer line.

Autumn and Winter Care

In autumn, increased leaf fall requires more frequent cleaning. In winter, reduce water flow and cover skimmers to prevent damage from debris or freezing temperatures.

Chemical Considerations

Skimmers help maintain chemical balance by removing organic material that can affect pH and chlorine levels. Regular cleaning ensures optimal chemical efficiency.

Checking for Wear and Tear

Inspect skimmer seals, baskets, and housings regularly. Replace damaged parts promptly to avoid larger repair costs.

Off-Season Storage

If using a floating skimmer, store it indoors during the off-season to prolong its lifespan and prevent UV or weather damage.
