wide mouth skimmer

The Wide Mouth Skimmer is a high-capacity surface skimming device designed to efficiently collect and remove floating debris—such as leaves, insects, pollen, and oils—from the water surface of swimming pools. With a broader intake opening compared to standard skimmers, it offers increased surface coverage and enhanced skimming performance, making it ideal for larger pools or pools located near trees or heavy foliage.

Crafted from durable, UV-stabilized ABS or reinforced plastic, the wide mouth skimmer is built to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, chemicals, and outdoor conditions.

Its wide design allows more water and debris to enter at once, ensuring quicker and more effective cleaning. The unit includes a self-adjusting floating weir flap for efficient surface flow regulation and a large-capacity strainer basket that traps debris before it reaches the filtration system.

Additional features often include multiple plumbing connections, a vacuum plate for cleaner attachment, and an optional overflow port to manage excess water during heavy rain. The wide mouth skimmer is compatible with both concrete and vinyl liner pools and is suitable for residential, commercial, and public swimming pools.

With its increased suction area and strong construction, the Wide Mouth Skimmer is an essential upgrade for pools requiring high-efficiency surface cleaning and improved water circulation—ensuring a cleaner, clearer, and more inviting pool environment.
