The SuperSkimmer Basket Cleans the Best!
The maintenance of your swimming pool is crucial to keeping a clean and healthy swimming pool. Sometimes the easiest thing you can do quickly each day can make a world of difference in the quality of water in your pool. The SuperSkimmer Basket is the newest innovation in skimmer basket pool parts. It uses industrial grade netting to capture debris and particles instead of the less efficient grid-style basket. The net cannot break or get punctured like other skimmer baskets, and catches more debris than any other skimmer basket on the market! The convenient handle sits above the water line... no more wet hands or touching pool debris!!
The next question you might ask is “How often should I clean my swimming pool skimmer and pump basket?” Some pool owners neglect the skimmer basket for days and weeks until they decide to look inside and realize it is completely full of leaves, debris and sometimes even toys and other foreign objects that had been left in the pool water.
You should clean your swimming pool’s skimmer basket at least once per week. The more often you empty out the debris caught by the basket, the better your pump filtration will be. During the most active swimming season or if your pool is being used heavily, twice a week or even daily is not a bad routine to have.
BENEFITS OF KEEPING YOUR SKIMMER CLEAN.
Your swimming pool skimmer’s are the first parts of your pumps cleaning process. The water that is circulated through the pump is first captured by your pool skimmer and basket. This will stop many objects by being caught by the basket and preventing them from making their way into the filter.
In doing this, it will allow your secondary filters to work more efficiently, become less clogged and the need cleaning as often. The skimmer also stops and prevents foreign objects and items that could potentially damage your pool pump as well.
Some pools are also equipped with a second skimmer just before the water enters the pump. This will catch anything that the first skimmer missed leaving only the finest of particles being sent through the pump and into the filter for final filtration.
For maximum filtration and pump performance, if you keep the skimmers clear from debris, the swimming pools filtration system will have more suction and less suffocation, enabling better performance resulting in a cleaner pool.
