Astralpool – Floating Skimmer
The Astralpool Floating Skimmer (SKU 16573) is a compact surface-skimming accessory designed for above-ground and panel pools. It continuously removes floating debris, leaves, and oils from the water surface, keeping your pool clean with minimal effort and connecting directly to your existing pump system.
Technical Specifications
- Diameter: 160 mm
- Maximum flow rate: 5 m³/h
- Inlet connections: Ø 32 mm and Ø 38 mm (external)
- Mounting: Plastic hook, adaptable to panel pools
- Pack contents: 1 x 1 unit
How the Floating Skimmer Works
The floating skimmer sits directly on the water surface and connects to your pool pump via a flexible hose. As water is drawn through, a filter basket traps leaves, insects, and surface debris before they sink and decompose. The floating design ensures consistent suction efficiency regardless of water level fluctuations.
Installation & Compatibility
Designed for easy installation on panel and frame pools, the skimmer attaches with a plastic hook and connects to standard 32 mm or 38 mm hose fittings. No special tools are required for basic installation. Always verify compatibility with your specific pool model and hose diameter before ordering.
Maintenance Tips
For best results, clean the filter basket regularly — ideally after each swim session. Inspect the hose connections periodically for leaks and ensure the unit floats freely. Replacement parts such as the filter basket (CE11030502) and the float element (CE11030501) are available separately.
