Intex Deluxe Wall-Mounted Pool Skimmer 800 GPH – Above-Ground Surface Skimmer with Removable Basket

The Intex Deluxe 800 GPH Wall-Mounted Surface Automatic Skimmer captures floating debris before it sinks, keeping above-water surfaces cleaner with minimal effort.

Designed for above-ground pools, this wall-mounted surface skimmer connects to a compatible filter pump and continuously draws in leaves, bugs and surface film so your filtration system works more efficiently. Its simple bracket mounting and removable strainer basket make setup and maintenance quick, while chemical-resistant polypropylene construction helps it endure regular pool use.

How does the skimmer reduce pool cleaning time?

The skimmer removes floating debris before it drops to the pool floor, which means less vacuuming and fewer clogged filters. By continuously skimming the surface, it keeps the pool looking cleaner between full cleanings.

• Operates automatically when connected to an 800 GPH or stronger pump
• Captures leaves, insects and surface film in the strainer basket
• Reduces load on the main filtration system
• Easy basket removal speeds up routine cleaning

Will it fit my above-ground pool wall?

The unit mounts to most Easy Set and metal frame pools with its adjustable bracket, so it matches a wide range of wall thicknesses. The bracket accommodates common pool rims without drilling, making the skimmer a straightforward add-on for many setups.

• Adjustable bracket designed for Easy Set and metal frame pools
• No specialized tools required for most installations
• Compact footprint so it won’t interfere with pool edging
• Mounts to sidewall and connects to the filter pump hose

What are the maintenance needs and material benefits?

Maintenance is primarily clearing the removable strainer basket and rinsing the housing; polypropylene construction resists pool chemicals and weather. The lightweight design simplifies handling for seasonal storage or off-season protection.

• Removable strainer basket for quick debris disposal
• Durable, chemical-resistant polypropylene housing
• Wipes or hose rinses restore performance in minutes
• Weighs about 4.57 pounds for easy removal and storage

How much pump power does it need to work well?

This skimmer is built to perform with a minimum pump flow of 800 gallons per hour; pumps meeting or exceeding that rate will keep the skimmer pulling surface debris effectively. Using an Intex filter pump rated at 800 GPH or higher ensures reliable compatibility and steady skimming.

• Minimum recommended flow: 800 gallons per hour
• Best paired with Intex filter pumps for guaranteed fit and flow
• Higher flow pumps increase skimming rate and debris capture
• Simple hose connection to existing pump inlet

Who is this for: pool owners who want an easy, cost-effective way to keep above-ground pool surfaces clear between cleanings. If you have an Easy Set or metal frame above-ground pool and a compatible filter pump (800 GPH+), this skimmer reduces manual surface skimming, protects your filter from excess debris, and simplifies routine maintenance without complex installation.
