Know before you buy
No, this product is the skimmer head only. It is designed to fit standard pool poles, which are sold separately.
The fine mesh is excellent for capturing leaves, bugs, and small floating debris. However, it is not designed to filter out fine particles like sand or silt, which typically require a pool vacuum.
The tapered edge allows the frame to sit flush against the pool floor or surface, making it much easier to slide under debris and scoop it up in one smooth motion without pushing the dirt away.
This model is built for light to medium debris loads. While the construction is durable, it is best suited for routine maintenance rather than clearing out massive amounts of heavy, waterlogged debris.
Yes, this skimmer features a universal attachment point that is compatible with most standard telescopic pool poles.
