ABSTRACT:
Skimmer apparatus for swimming pools and the like having a receptacle in which a skimmer basket is fitted. The receptacle provides a chamber into which pool water flows through the skimmer. Water is caused to flow into and through the receptacle by a connection within the receptacle to the makup water inlet of the pool. The inlet water discharging into the pool through the chamber of the receptacle and the flow of the water by an ejector effect causing flow through the receptacle thereby causing a substantial amount of the pool water to be recirculated through the receptacle although it is not recirculated through the conventional pool suction pump and inlet which operates to supply the inlet water pressure for activating the skimmer apparatus. Several embodiments are illustrated including an embodiment in which the skimmer is mounted in a flotation receiver which floats on the water to maintain the open end of the receiver just below the level of the water in the pool to insure that the water recirculated through the receiver is drawn from the surface level of the pool.
