Intex pools are very popular these days – partly because they are easy to maintain and clean.<\/p>

A skimmer is used to remove debris from the surface of your pool water. This helps prevent algae growth and keeps the pool cleaner<\/a> longer.<\/p>

However, installing a skimmer on an Intex pool can be tricky.<\/p>

In this quick how-to guide, we offer some tips to follow to ensure a successful installation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 1:Turn off the power supply to your pool.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

First of all, turn off the power supply to the pool. You need to do this before you start working on it. If you don\u2019t, you may damage something in the process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A thru-wall skimmer is installed inside the wall of a swimming pool. It removes debris such as leaves, sticks, etc., from the water. The filter screen\/filtration system<\/a> then filters out the debris.<\/p>

The skimmer consists of two parts: the intake tube and the pump.<\/p>

The intake tube has holes that allow water into the skimmer. The pump sucks up the water through the holes and pushes it back into the pool.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Installing a through-wall skimmer will help keep your pool cleaner for longer. It also prevents the formation of algae.<\/p>

You must install the correct size skimmer. The wrong one could cause problems with your pool<\/a>.<\/p>

The skimmer should have a capacity of at least 100 gallons.<\/p>

The best time to install a skimmer is when the pool has been empty for about two weeks.<\/p>

You can use a hose or garden hose to test the skimmer while still attached to the wall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A: There are many materials available. Some include plastic sheets, vinyl, canvas, and even foam.<\/p>

Q: How long does it take to install through-wall skimmers?<\/h3>

A: Depending on the pool size, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.<\/p>

Q: Is it possible to install a through-wall skimmer without removing the tile?<\/h3>

A: Yes, but only if you have access to the top of the wall.<\/p>

Q: Can I install a through-wall skimmer myself?<\/h3>

A: Sure! But be sure to get professional help.<\/p>
