ABSTRACT:
A skimmer for a pool includes a skimmer guard that is installed by friction only, and without the use of separate fasteners. The skimmer guard includes a perforated plate which acts as a strainer, preventing debris from the pool from entering the skimmer. The skimmer guard is inserted into gap between heads of a double-headed screw which is permanently screwed into the pool wall. The skimmer guard can be removed, and re-installed, simply by sliding the skimmer guard out of, or into, the gap. The skimmer guard can therefore be removed and re-installed without the use of separate fasteners, and without the use of tools. The skimmer guard can be removed and replaced with a non-perforated cover, at the end of the swimming season.
