Grid for front of Standard Wide-mouth Skimmer

If larger debris is entering your skimmer throat, the Grid for Front of Standard Wide‑Mouth Skimmer adds an extra layer of protection.

Fitted to the front intake of the wide‑mouth skimmer, this grid helps prevent larger leaves and debris from entering the skimmer body while still allowing steady surface flow.

What it does

• Adds protective screening to the skimmer opening
• Reduces risk of large debris entering the basket
• Helps prevent blockages in the skimmer line
• Maintains consistent surface draw

By stopping oversized debris at the intake, it reduces strain on the basket and downstream pipework.

When to replace

Consider replacement if you notice:

• Cracks or broken sections
• Warping from UV exposure
• Loose fit on the skimmer face
• Reduced protection at the intake

Installation Notes

• Ensure the skimmer face is clean before fitting
• Check the grid sits securely and evenly
• Inspect periodically during heavy leaf fall

Keeping the intake protected helps your wide‑mouth skimmer operate efficiently, reducing maintenance and protecting pumps and filtration downstream.
