Above Ground Pool Skimmer Socks What it does Reusable skimmer socks made from ultrafine, acid and alkaliresistant polyester fabric that traps leaves, hair, dirt, bugs, and other fine debris while allowing water flow. Fits securely over standard skimmer/filter baskets and is compatible with both inground and aboveground pools, including Hayward and Swimquip skimmer models. Why you need it Protects your pool equipment by capturing fine particles before they reach impellers and shaft seals, reducing strain on pumps and filters and helping extend the life of your filtration system. Reduces cleaning and maintenance time by keeping debris in the skimmer sock instead of clogging plumbing or filter media. Key features filtration polyester material: ultrafine weave catches small particles without significantly restricting water flow. Durable and reusable: resists chemical exposure and holds up to regular cleaning and multiple wash cycles. Easy install and removal: slip the skimmer sock over the edge of your filter/skimmer basket for a snug fit—no tools required. Simple maintenance: rinse or clean every 4–8 weeks to restore filtration efficiency. Practical uses Seasonal leaf and debris control: ideal during fall or after storms to prevent leaves and pine needles from entering your pump and filter. Swimmer and pet hair capture: collects hair and small particles from frequent swimmers, reducing filter backwashing and cartridge cleaning. Heavyuse protection: helps safeguard equipment during party weekends or peak pool seasons by trapping grit and fine sediment that can wear down impellers and seals. Performance and care tips Check and empty the skimmer sock regularly; cleaning intervals depend on pool use and surrounding foliage. Rinse thoroughly to remove trapped debris; the polyester fabric is designed to withstand repeated cleanings without losing effectiveness. Compatible with standard skimmer baskets, including Hayward and Swimquip models. Durable, effective, and simple to use—designed to protect your pool equipment and keep your filtration system running smoothly.
