More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to systems for improving the range of pool skimmers. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a weir that is located in the basin of a swimming pool, moves in response to changing water levels in the pool and feeds water from the basin to a skimmer located in a sidewall of the swimming pool. In other embodiments, the present invention provides a deflector that is adjacent to a pool sidewall and extends above the skimmer opening, and includes an opening for feeding water to the skimmer opening. The present disclosure also provides for systems having combinations of such features. Without being bound to any particular theory, it is believed that the apparatuses are relatively cheap to manufacture, safe, conserve water and chemical use, and allow for an aesthetically pleasing full pool.
