Skimmer neck extension made of high quality ABS plastic, for Acis Design skimmers, 37 mm.
The task of skimmers is to remove floating debris (e.g. leaves, insects, etc.) from pools. The skimmer basket collects this detritus, therefore, it should be checked weekly. For optimum performance, set the pool water level to the centre of the skimmer opening.
Slow-dissolving chemicals, such as chlorine or flocculant tablets can be put into the skimmer basket, rendering the use of a separate floating chemical dispenser unnecessary. Most skimmer designs enable the vacuum-cleaning of the pool as well.
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a thermoplastic polymer with good impact resistance, high hardness and strength, good heat and chemical resistance, as well as good noise and vibration absorbing properties. Its brilliance lies in the combination of the different materials.
Acrylonitrile increases heat and chemical resistance, butadiene increases durability and toughness, and styrene improves workability, reduces costs and provides a glossy surface.
