ABSTRACT:
A skimmer cover plate is disclosed for use with a pool skimmer system. The skimmer cover plate allows the pool skimmer to work alternatively with an underwater suction operated pool cleaner. The skimmer cover plate is designed to seal the upper surface of the well of a skimmer. The hose of the suction cleaner is connectable to a pipe on the cover plate. The cover plate includes an indexable valve which is movable between two positions for varying the flow of fluid and debris from the pool directly into the well and basket of the pool skimmer. When fluid flow is restricted through the valve, the suction will be diverted to power the pool cleaner. When the valve is opened, debris will pass from the surface of the skimmer through the valve and into the basket for collection. An indexable valve is provided which indexes in response to the cycling of the pump.
