Floating debris is easiest to remove before it sinks—but standard skimmers can sometimes ride too high on the water, making cleanup slower and less precise. The Stinger Leaf Skimmer with Sand Bag (LN4035) solves that problem with a weighted design that keeps the net riding low on the surface for smoother, more controlled debris removal.

This weighted skimmer is ideal for daily maintenance, especially in pools where light debris, pollen, and fine leaves tend to drift just below the surface. It’s a favorite among service professionals who want consistent contact with the water without fighting buoyancy.

Why a Weighted Leaf Skimmer Matters

Unweighted skimmers can skip across the surface, pushing debris away instead of capturing it. A weighted skimmer stays engaged with the water, improving control and efficiency.

Using a weighted leaf skimmer matters because it helps:

• Keep the net submerged at the surface level

• Prevent debris from being pushed ahead of the skimmer

• Improve capture of pollen and fine floating debris

• Reduce wrist and arm fatigue during extended use

The LN4035 is designed to glide smoothly with minimal effort.

How the Stinger LN4035 Leaf Skimmer Works

This skimmer features a built-in sand bag weight that stabilizes the net during use. The added weight helps the skimmer track evenly across the water surface, allowing debris to flow naturally into the fine mesh net.

The result is smoother skimming with fewer missed passes and less splashing.

When to Use the Stinger Leaf Skimmer with Sand Bag

This skimmer is ideal for:

• Daily surface debris removal

• Pools with pollen or fine floating debris

• Calm water where debris sits just below the surface

• Service routes requiring consistent, repeatable results

• Homeowners who want effortless skimming

It is designed for surface debris only, not sunken leaves or floor cleanup.

Compatible with Standard Pool Poles

The Stinger LN4035 is designed to attach to standard telescopic pool poles, allowing adjustable reach for pools of all sizes. Paired with a lightweight aluminum pole, it delivers excellent balance and control for smooth, fatigue-free skimming.

Durable, Daily-Use Construction

Built with a sturdy frame and fine mesh net, the LN4035 holds up to frequent use while maintaining its shape and performance. The weighted design does not interfere with maneuverability and adds stability without excessive drag.

This makes it a dependable tool for both residential and professional pool maintenance.

Use & Care Best Practices

Skim slowly across the pool surface to allow debris to flow into the net. Empty the skimmer regularly to maintain smooth operation.

After use, rinse with fresh water and allow it to dry before storage. Store out of direct sunlight to extend mesh and frame life.
