This skimmer is engineered to meet NSF 50 and SPS 3 standards, highlighting its commitment to quality and safety. The adjustable collar and new weir clip lock enhance the skimmer's functionality, providing secure and reliable operation. A large, self-contained basket with a lock-in feature ensures that debris is captured without floating away, while underwater dampers reduce noise, making it especially quiet even on windy days. The skimmer's construction utilizes a super strong engineered polymer for the upper housing and extra heavy-duty PVC for the lower unit, which does not require transitional glue. It also features versatile connection options with 2½" outside slip and 2" inside slip for the outside skimmer, and 2" threads for pressure testing inside the skimmer. The built-in overflow or fill line knock-out and pre-cut rebar cutouts with pre-drilled holes for tie wire simplify installation. Additionally, the skimmer lid and collar are UV tested, and there's an option for custom name/logo engraving on the lid for orders of 500 or more.
