Turn off the pump. Locate the inlet pipe in your pool.
Unscrew the ring nut and then remove the ring and ball.

Screw the PoolSkim insert onto the inlet pipe as firmly as possible.

Connect the PoolSkim elbow from the body of the PoolSkim to the connecting ring nut and stub.
See above picture to view elbow placements for various pool inlet locations.
Use the stainless steel screws to fasten the connections.

Attach the clip-on bag to the outlet of the body of the PoolSkim.

Attach the combination of stub, connecting ring nut, elbow, clip-on bag and body to your pool inlet by screwing on the connecting ring nut. Align the PoolSkim so that it is correctly positioned. The body of the unit should always be under the water level (approximately 5cm-6cm). Next, tighten the screws and the connecting ring nut.

Place the floating hat in the body of the PoolSkim with the large hole in the side of the hat facing the clip-on bag. Turn on the pump. Water should start flowing into the floating hat, skimming floating debris into the clip-on bag.

PoolSkim Tips

Ensure that the PoolSkim is fully secured by firmly screwing on all connections.

Install the PoolSkim so the body of the unit is always under the water level.

Direct the PoolSkim to induce a flow around the pool to bring all floating debris to the PoolSkim and to minimize dead spots where debris can accumulate. Normally, the flow is parallel to the wall; however, if your inlet pipe is near a corner, you may need to point the PoolSkim away from the wall at a 45 degree angle to ensure an effective flow.

Maximize the skimming effect by ensuring that your pump basket is clean. If you have a second inlet into the pool, this flow should be reduced by using the supplied aimflow plate.

If the Automatic Pool Cleaner is getting stuck on the PoolSkim, then either change the direction of the PoolSkim or adjust your Automatic Pool Cleaner by moving the hose weight.

In order to prevent your Automatic Pool Cleaner hose from floating over the PoolSkim, use the supplied BUMPER. Separate the BUMPER, then insert the smaller blue knob from the bottom of the rim of the floating hat into the larger knob from the top, using a hole furthest away from the pool wall.
