Suctions and Skimmer

What is a spa skimmer?

The skimmer is one of the most important elements of your spa as it directly affects the filtration system. It removes debris, impurities, and surface particles from the water, ensuring clear, clean, and pleasant water. It consists of a removable basket with fine mesh that collects small dirt, directing it to the filtration system. Opting for a skimmer like those from the Waterway brand ensures an efficient filtration system and cleaner water. Our skimmers adapt to our numerous filters. Additionally, they seamlessly integrate into your spa, providing effective filtration without compromising the aesthetics of your setup. Crafted with durable and resistant materials, our drains and skimmers contribute to the proper functioning and longevity of your spa.

Where is the skimmer located in a spa?

Generally, the skimmer is situated at the water's surface level. It is located on the waterline, opposite the return jets. You can find it in various forms, such as:

• Skimmer with basket
• Telescopic skimmer
• Grid skimmer
• Simple skimmer
• Double-filter skimmer

Our skimmers adapt to all types of hot tubs and are available in various colors.

How do I maintain my skimmer?

If you want to ensure your spa's proper operation and good filtration, it's essential to take care of it. When using your spa, it's recommended to regularly check and maintain it. To prevent clogging and dirt build-up in the skimmer and pump, we advise emptying, cleaning, and rinsing the basket regularly. This way, you can enjoy clear and clean water while extending your skimmer's lifespan.

However, different scenarios exist. If you own a spa with a skimmer equipped with an integrated cartridge filter, maintenance is crucial. We recommend proper maintenance of your cartridge filters to ensure optimal filtration. Daily water filtration is important. Clean your cartridge filters once or twice a week and replace them every 3 months.

By following these cleaning steps, you ensure the longevity of your skimmer and optimal filtration.

What are spa drains for?

The drains in your spa play a significant role. They ensure effective drainage to eliminate impurities and debris, preventing unwanted particles from entering your spa's filtration system. We offer various types of drains based on your needs:

• Suction drain: It sucks water to conceal it through the nozzles.
• Bottom drain: Solely used for spa drainage in gravity cases. Installed at the basin's bottom, it shouldn't be used like suction drains to draw water with a pump.
• Return drain: It contributes to proper circulation of filtered water, expels impurities, and facilitates even distribution of maintenance products. It helps achieve clean and transparent water.

We offer a wide range of spa drains to ensure effective dirt elimination.
