ABSTRACT:
A skimmer guard for a pool skimmer is provided. The skimmer is attached to either the inner or outer periphery of the faceplate via cooperating male/female connectors on the skimmer guard and inner or outer periphery of the faceplate at the opening for fluid passage from the pool to the skimmer housing and filter assembly. The skimmer guard includes cut out portions sized such that leaves, bugs and other pool debris can enter the skimmer housing but block larger amphibious objects, such as toys, floating candles, chlorine dispensers, etc., from entering the skimmer housing and obstructing normal skimming operation. The cut out portions may be diamond shaped. The skimmer guard may include a ring tab or other member extending from the outer periphery thereof for ease of removal of the guard.
