Product Information

Full details

The Intex Deluxe Wall-Mounted Pool Surface Skimmer is an essential maintenance tool for above-ground pool owners looking to automate their surface cleaning process. By attaching directly to the sidewall and integrating with your existing filter pump, it efficiently captures floating debris like leaves, insects, and pollen before they sink. While it significantly reduces manual netting time, please note that it requires a filter pump with a minimum flow rate of 800 gallons per hour to operate correctly.

FAQs

Does this work with all Intex pools?

It is designed for most Easy Set and metal frame pools, provided they have a filter pump meeting the 800 GPH minimum requirement.

How often should I empty the basket?

Empty the basket whenever you notice a reduction in surface intake or if it appears full of debris.

Can I leave this on the pool while swimming?

It is recommended to remove or exercise caution with the skimmer while people are using the pool to prevent accidental bumping or damage.

Does it include everything needed for setup?

Yes, the package includes the skimmer unit, the adjustable mounting bracket, the connection hose, and a flow reducer.

What happens if my pump flow rate is too low?

If your pump is below 800 GPH, the skimmer may not be able to create the suction needed to pull floating debris into the basket.

Troubleshooting

Skimmer flap is not moving or sucking water.

Check that the pump is running and the water level is high enough for the skimmer to reach the surface.

Low suction performance.

Clear the strainer basket of debris and check for blockages in the connection hose.

Unit keeps detaching from the pool wall.

Tighten the adjustable bracket screws and ensure it is mounted securely against a flat section of the pool frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces manual cleaning time
  • Prevents debris from sinking to the pool floor
  • Chemical-resistant construction ensures long-term durability
  • Easy installation on most above-ground frames

Cons

  • Requires a filter pump with at least 800 GPH flow
  • May not fit some specialized pool wall designs
  • Requires regular emptying of the internal basket

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, attach the adjustable bracket to the pool wall and hang the skimmer unit. Connect the provided hose to your pool's intake suction point. Ensure your filter pump is rated for at least 800 GPH, as lower flow rates will not provide the suction necessary to operate the skimmer's flap mechanism.

For care, periodically inspect the hose for kinks and ensure the connection points are airtight. When cleaning the pool with chemicals, you may choose to leave the skimmer in place, as the materials are chemically resistant, but always rinse the basket with fresh water after removing debris to prevent buildup.
