Swimming Pool Skimmers

Great Pool (Pvt) Ltd., one of Pakistan’s largest companies, deals in the business of swimming pool construction, the installation of filtration systems, the fixing of mosaic tiles, and water purification equipment. It was founded on April 19, 2018 by Mr. Zahoor Ghafoor, with offices in Lahore and Islamabad. We are the greatest importers of skimmers from well-known companies around the world. Our professionals are expert in fixing of skimmers.

The filtration system of a pool is made up of a variety of components, including a pool skimmer. By filtering out dirt, leaves, and other debris, this system aids in maintaining the pool’s water’s cleanliness. It draws in the pool water, filters it, and then empties the cleaned water back into the pool.
A pool skimmer creates a surface current that draws in any floating detritus, such as leaves, oils, sunscreen, and other objects, through the skimmer aperture. Any heavy debris, such as leaves, is caught in the skimmer basket, keeping it from the pool pump. You could remove and empty the skimmer basket. Pool maintenance requires the use of the pool skimmer, which is the first part of the pool cleaning system. Water from the pool is sucked into the skimmer by the pool pump. into the skimmer door, water enters the skimmer and flows into the skimmer basket, which collects any large debris to keep the pool pump from getting blocked.
The water then passes through the circulation system of the pool and down the pipes at the bottom to the pump. It creates a current that also pulls in any floating debris, such as leaves, insects, and other things, because it is positioned in the swimming pool wall by the water’s surface. Whatever it draws in is then captured and kept in the skimmer basket for disposal. Larger bits of material that could clog the pool pump cannot get through the skimmer basket and into the pool’s filtration system.
Turn off the pump before you Remove the skimmer basket
When the pool pump is running, the skimmers in the pool should also be running. However, the pump is not typically left running continuously because doing so would result in a high electricity cost and accelerate the wear and tear of the pump.
The only time this may not apply is if you are vacuuming the pool using a separate vacuuming input and need as much suction as you can get. In order to accomplish this, you might turn off the skimmers because all of the suction will go into the vacuuming inlet.
You certainly cannot turn off the skimmers if you plug your vacuum line into one of the skimmer inlets. I insert a tennis ball into the remaining inlets to boost the vacuum flow. The tennis ball is held in place by the pump’s suction.
How many skimmers are required for a pool?
This is influenced by the pool’s size and form, to some extent. The majority of small to medium-sized pools feature one or two skimmers. These are often found at the pool’s far end and the end that the water enters after going through the filter system.
The placement of the skimmers at opposite ends of the pool helps create a current that moves water from one end of the pool towards the skimmers.
One skimmer should be present for every 350–400 square feet of pool surface area is the typical rule of thumb. The suction that each skimmer has may be reduced if there are too many of them, which could make them less efficient. Not all of the floating debris may be caught in the skimmer if there are too few.
Skimmer issues
There are a number of potential causes if your skimmer isn’t skimming and water isn’t being sucked into the skimmer.

1. Verify that the pump is on and that the multiport filter valve is set to filter
2. Verify that the skimmers’ valve is open and not closed.
3. Verify that there are no leaves or other debris clogging the skimmer basket.
4. If everything mentioned above is in order, it’s possible that the filter is clogged and isn’t producing enough suction to draw water from the skimmer into the container.
