Skimmer Basket Socks – The Most Versatile Pool Filter accessory

Skimmer basket socks add convenience to your pool cleaning routine. A skimmer basket, made of clear plastic, serves as a sump to catch falling water before it gets into the pool. It also helps contain the chemicals that are pumped into the pool in skimmer bottles. These chemicals, mostly chlorine, kill bacteria and prevent algae from forming. However, they can also be irritating to people who like to swim in pools without the chemicals.

Sock covers allow you to skim smaller pieces of debris out of the water before the chemicals come into contact with your skin and hair. Small pieces of dirt can choke your pool filters, so keeping everything out can be frustrating and time-consuming. You can also save money by keeping some of the larger debris away from the filters. Skimmer basket socks simply make maintenance of your pool filters much easier and less tedious. Just slip the sock over your skimmer basket, no more need for extra tools.

Socks are available in a variety of colors, materials, and designs. You can find skimmer baskets that match your home or decorate your pool house in a unique way. For example, some have shaped openings on all sides, so that any pebbles, stones, or pieces of debris that might get dropped into the water are easily removed. Some designs even have loops or straps to hold the skirt in place, so that it is easy to keep everything out of the way. If you own a pool with multiple skimmers, you can use one basket to collect all of the debris and put another basket over it to seal the opening and prevent the skimmer from clogging.
