Water quality is essential for any pool, whether it has a removable liner or is built into the deck. Keeping the water clean isn’t just about comfort; it protects the pool’s surfaces and extends its life with proper maintenance and warranties in mind.

Earlier discussions in the Life and Style section highlighted medium to large removable pools with cartridge and sand filtration as core options, plus affordable vacuum cleaners for cleaning pool walls. This piece focuses on another crucial element for keeping water clear: the skimmer system.
The skimmer functions by drawing surface water into its basket, trapping debris before it sinks. It continuously filters the water, helping maintain overall cleanliness in the pool. The inner basket collects leaves, insects, and other floatables, and some models are designed to trap small amounts of chemical residue. Regularly cleaning the basket is essential to keep the system efficient and responsive. By capturing surface debris, skimmers prevent dirt from circulating and help return clean water to the pool quickly.

In concrete pools, the suction inlet is typically located on a wall and draws water into the filtration system. Although swimmers may not notice the movement, this suction helps inhibit algae growth. It’s not unusual to see twigs, leaves, or petals being pulled toward these inlets as the water moves and circulates around the pool surface.

In removable pool setups, the skimmer is straightforward to install. It features a basket to collect dirt and a hook that attaches to the pool side. When shopping, consider compatibility with your cleaner system. For optimal operation, ensure the water level sits just above the basket so the device can pick up debris without filling it completely.
Additionally, the skimmer includes a pipe that returns the now-clean water to the pool for treatment. Typical prices range from a modest 25 to 40 euros depending on model and features.
