In 1954, Skimlite combined the strength of 304 stainless steel and plated spring steel fabricated to a solid handle to create the first light weight skimmer for the swimming pool Industry. These original leaf skimmers and rakes are made to provide many years of use for the commercial pool application or homeowner. This design uses our original plated spring steel frame which wont rust, corrode, or break under normal use. The net is adhered to the frame with our patented method and has protective vinyl tubing around the frame that can be replaced when worn.
