Water Tech’s Skimmer Vac is a hydraulic, easy-to-use manual device that will effortlessly remove debris from virtually any pool skimmer basket without having to remove the basket itself. A few easy pumps will suck out everything — from leaves, twigs, insects, rodents and other “untouchables” — and seal it in a watertight compartment.
