Swimables Skimmer Sock – SW-10-350 Universal Filter Saver (5-Pack)
Extend the Life of Your Filter with an Easy, Affordable Upgrade
Your pool’s filtration system works hard to keep water clean, but fine debris like hair, pollen, oils, and small leaves can slip through the skimmer basket and put extra strain on your filter. Over time, this leads to clogged cartridges, shorter filter life, and more frequent backwashing. The solution is simple: Swimables Skimmer Socks – SW-10-350 Universal Filter Savers (5-Pack).
These durable, ultra-fine mesh liners fit over any skimmer basket to catch debris before it reaches your filter. By adding a skimmer sock, you’ll save time, reduce maintenance, and extend the life of your pool equipment—all while keeping water sparkling clean.
Why Use a Skimmer Sock?
Even with a properly functioning skimmer basket, small debris often makes it through and ends up in your filter. This creates:
-
Clogged cartridges that require frequent cleaning or replacement
-
Increased backwashing in DE and sand filters
-
Higher chemical demand as oils and lotions circulate in the water
-
Shorter equipment lifespan due to extra strain
A skimmer sock acts as a pre-filter, catching fine particles before they enter your filtration system. It’s a low-cost solution that pays for itself many times over.
