Pool Skimmer Gate with Water Tank Key benefits Captures and filters debris before it reaches the skimmer basket and pump. Reduces clogging, lowers maintenance time and protects filtration equipment. Designed for small skimmers to provide a snug fit and reliable performance without modifying existing plumbing. Built from durable, weather-resistant materials for repeated outdoor use and long service life. What it does and why you need it Function: The unit sits at the skimmer inlet and uses an integrated water tank to trap leaves, insects and surface debris, filtering them out of the circulation flow so your pool stays cleaner between manual cleanings. Problem solved: Stops larger debris from reaching or clogging your skimmer basket and pump, reducing strain on equipment and the need for frequent hand skimming or vacuuming. Standout feature: Compact, purpose-built design for small skimmers — easy to install, reliable in everyday conditions, and built to withstand outdoor exposure. Main features Compatibility: Specifically developed for small pool skimmers; provides a tight, secure fit for consistent debris capture.

Practical use scenarios After a storm or wind event: Catches leaves and twigs before they sink or clog the skimmer, simplifying post-storm clean-up. Seasonal maintenance: Use during heavy pollen or insect seasons to reduce how often you need to empty skimmer baskets or run extra filtration cycles. Small residential pools or aboveground pools: Ideal where compact skimmer components need an effective debris-capture solution without replacing the skimmer.
