Intex 28000E Deluxe Wall-Mounted Pool Skimmer — Automatic Surface Cleaning (800+ GPH)

Overview

The Intex 28000E Deluxe Wall-Mounted Pool Skimmer offers a convenient, surface-first cleaning solution that connects to your filter pump for automatic skimming. By drawing water from the surface, it captures leaves and floating debris before they sink, helping keep water clearer and reducing downstream cleanup. Built to withstand regular pool use, the skimmer features a durable polypropylene body that remains resilient against common pool chemicals.

A key highlight is the removable strainer basket, which pulls out for quick debris disposal and easy maintenance. This design makes routine upkeep feel less like a chore and more like a simple step in your pool routine. The kit is designed for Easy Set pools, with an adjustable bracket to enable mounting on sidewalls, while brackets for metal-framed pools are not included.

Key Benefits

• Automatic surface skimming connects to compatible filter pumps with 800+ GPH
• Removable strainer basket for fast debris removal
• Adjustable mounting bracket for Easy Set pool sidewalls
• Durable polypropylene construction resists pool chemicals
• Catches leaves and debris at the surface, helping reduce bottom buildup

How It Works

When connected to a pump, the skimmer sits at the pool surface, guiding water through the basket. The pull-out basket simplifies cleanup, while continuous surface skimming helps keep the water moving and visually clearer. The setup is straightforward for weekend projects or regular maintenance sessions, with the focus on practical, low-effort use rather than dramatic claims.

Mounting and Compatibility

Designed for Easy Set pools, the skimmer uses an adjustable bracket to fit pool sidewalls. Please note that brackets used for metal-framed pools are not included, so ensure you have the correct mounting hardware for your pool type.

Real-Life Scenarios

Imagine a sunny morning with a light breeze and a few scattered leaves. The skimmer helps collect surface debris as water circulates, reducing the amount that reaches the pool bottom. After a storm, the device can be a quick, practical helper for surface-cleaning tasks so you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time cleaning.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly empty the strainer basket to maintain optimal flow
• Check bracket alignment to ensure a stable mount
• Verify your pump meets the 800 GPH minimum for best performance
