Dependably used for over two years! My 3D-printed skimmer continuously removes surface debris—easily mountable to any sand filter pump or conventional skimmer holder.
- Used with this Whirlpool in my setup
- Also compatible with standard skimmer holders (see image)
Functionality
- Suction via pool outlet
- Connect the pump to the existing pool water outlet.
- A 30 mm pipe connects the outlet to the skimmer inside the pool.
- Surface skimmer
- Suspended solids are drawn directly from the water's surface.
- Quick-change bottom nozzle
- A second outlet is located at the front of the skimmer: simply swap the plug, connect the bottom hose, and you're done!
Variants
- Without net (standard): Ideal for minimal coarse debris
- With net insert: Catches larger leaves, insects, and dirt
Advantages
- No need to retrofit expensive skimmer systems
- Customizable 3D-printed solutions for pools & whirlpools
- Robust, low-maintenance design
