Abstract
A swimming pool skimming device for skimming leaves and other floating debris from the water surface. The device includes a conduit and a connector for connecting one end of the conduit to the return flow inlet of the pool. The device also includes a trap support unit to which the other end of the conduit is connected. The unit has a shroud extending beneath the second end of the conduit and there is a porous trap which is supported by the trap support unit with the second end of the conduit spaced apart from and aimed at the trap. The trap support unit is sufficiently buoyant to support the second end of the conduit and the trap near the water surface. In use a return water flow from the return flow inlet passes through the conduit and is directed through water at the surface of the pool towards the trap. Floating matter at the surface of the water in the swimming pool is entrained in the flow and is captured in the trap.
