Debris, bugs, and leaves in your swimming pool don’t just look ugly; they affect its water balance, stain its surface, and even consume its chemicals. Sure, most of these nasties can be cleaned up eventually by a pool cleaner after they sink to the bottom, but an even better, more cost-effective solution is to catch them sooner with a surface skimmer. The Kokido K074CBX Floating Surface Skimmer for Intex and Inflatable Pools connects to your filter pump and to the wall of your inflatable top ring or frame in your above-ground pool. An adjustable mounting bracket allows it to be moved up or down to keep it in line with the water’s surface. The skimmer automatically skim those leaves and larger debris from the surface of your pool before they get too nasty. It has a convenient, removable strainer basket that can be emptied when full. This floating skimmer includes adaptors for Summer Escapes, Intex, and Bestways pools and also comes with different brackets to mount on frame pools or inflatable ring pools. It’s made of corrosion-proof plastic. Pool skimmers can work as your pool’s only pool cleaner; they’re simple, inexpensive and effective, especially with smaller pools. They also work well in conjunction with a bottom cleaner. Pool skimmers’ advantages include savings on chemicals, because fewer leaves in the water means less nitrogen and, therefore, fewer chemicals. Also, because this Kokido skimmer runs with your normal pump cycles, there’s no need for a separate pump or electrical source. Because it’s connected to your pool’s filter pump, it improves the circulation of your pool’s water, making it safer and cleaner and saving you time and money in the long run by reducing “dead spots,” which are stagnant areas of water missed by a traditional fixed skimmer box. Bacterial growth can occur in those dead spots. The Kokido Floating Surface Skimmer saves time and aggravation, allowing you to enjoy a clean, healthy pool.
