ABSTRACT:
An improved combination pool skimmer is disclosed which may be adapted to provide surface water skimming, or subsurface water sweeping or vacuuming of a swimming pool. The skimmer has a body including a throat for entry of water into the skimmer and a well located below and communicating with the throat. The skimmer has a single relocatable cover plate adapted to be located in the well of the skimmer to cover the skimmer pump outlet port. The well has a peripheral shoulder adjacent to the throat on which a removable strainer basket is supported. The strainer basket has an annular ring or flange which is disposed on this shoulder for this purpose. The cover plate may be supported on the basket annular ring to cover the basket and control entry of water into the well. A snap-in hinged weir and a snap-in hinged equalizer flap valve are provided in the skimmer which are not subject to corrosive decay by pool chemicals. Various slide valves are provided to adapt the skimmer for the various functions referred to above.
