Skimmer Debris Guard — effective mesh protection for your pool skimmer Key benefits Prevents leaves, dirt and debris from entering the skimmer, reducing how often you need to clean the skimmer basket and helping keep pool water clear. Maintains reliable water flow and drainage while blocking larger contaminants, so the pump and filtration system can run without interruption. Quick, tool-free installation and removal makes regular use practical and hassle-free. What it does and why you need it Captures surface debris before it reaches the skimmer, minimizing clogs and cutting down routine maintenance time. Protects skimmer components and extends time between manual cleanouts, so you spend less time on pool upkeep. Allows unrestricted water movement through the skimmer area, preserving filtration performance while filtering out solid debris. Key features and specifications Material: Durable mesh fabric designed to be strong enough to stop leaves and debris while allowing water to pass freely. Fit and function: Designed to sit inside the skimmer as a barrier to larger debris while providing optimal drainage and uninterrupted flow. Easy installation: Lightweight, flexible design installs and removes quickly without tools for convenient seasonal or frequent use. Dimensions: 7.6 x 24.9 cm shield size. Adjustable support: Includes a telescopic rod adjustable from 17.8 to 26.9 cm to fit the skimmer opening securely. Tether: Supplied with a 10 m elastic cord to secure the guard and accommodate different pool setups. Practical use scenarios Leaf-fall and storm protection: Install the guard before heavy winds or storms to prevent leaves and twigs from repeatedly clogging the skimmer. Routine pool operation: Use while the pump runs daily to keep the skimmer basket cleaner and reduce filter maintenance. Vacation or extended absence: Leave the guard in place to limit debris accumulation in the skimmer when frequent pool checks are not possible. Compatibility and performance notes Designed for placement inside the skimmer opening; the telescopic rod and elastic cord provide adjustability to suit a range of pool skimmer configurations.
