The Skimmer Shield is the first line of defense between your pool skimmer and the leaves, debris, and critters that clog it — protecting your pump and keeping your water crystal clear.
Every pool owner knows the frustration. You come outside to enjoy your pool and find the skimmer clogged again — reducing water circulation, stressing your pump, and turning a relaxing afternoon into a chore.
Leaves, twigs, and debris block the flow, forcing your pump to work harder and reducing filtration efficiency.
A blocked skimmer means reduced water turnover — leading to cloudy water, algae growth, and chemical imbalances.
Running dry or under strain shortens the life of your pump — an expensive repair that's completely preventable.
Small animals find their way into unprotected skimmers — creating unsanitary conditions and potential blockages.
Engineered specifically for pool skimmer openings, the Skimmer Shield flexes to fit, locks in place automatically, and filters out debris before it ever reaches your basket — all without restricting water flow.
Stops leaves, twigs, pine needles, and critters at the skimmer mouth — not after they've already clogged your basket.
The open-mesh design allows unrestricted water circulation so your pump never loses suction.
Bow it, slide it in, release. The patented flexible design self-locks into virtually any standard skimmer opening.
UV-resistant materials handle harsh sun, storms, and seasonal debris — keeping your pool protected year-round.
Designed to fit the majority of inground and above-ground pool skimmer openings on the market.
