Wall Mount Surface Skimmer and Filter Pump Compatibility
The wall-mount surface skimmer must be used together with an INTEX filter
pump. The surface skimmer relies on the filter pump suction to perform
effectively.
Minimum Flow Rate Requirement
In order to effectively use the wall mount surface skimmer, the minimum
flow rate required is 3785 L/hr. Ensure that your filter pump meets or exceeds
this flow rate for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting Slow Water Flow
If the water flowing into the surface skimmer basket becomes slower over
time, follow these steps:
- Turn off the filter pump.
- Remove the hose adaptor connector from the outlet fitting connection.
- Check the threaded strainer connector for any debris, hair, or algae. Clean if necessary.
- Inspect the cartridge in the filter pump and clean it if dirty.
- Ensure there is no leakage in the circulation system.
- If you have a sand filter pump, backwash the sand media as needed.
- Reassemble all components and restart the filter pump.

Which model filter pump and pool can be used with the wall mount surface skimmer?
Wall mount surface skimmer can be used with filter pump models 12R/22R, 51/52, 520R/530R, 637/638, 637R/638R, 635/T/636/T, 633/T/634/T, FP621/FP622 and SF90110/90220/SF80110/80220/SF70110/70220/60110/60220R/SP60220, SF10110/10220/SF15110/15220/SF20110/SF20220 also with saltwater system/filter pump models CS/8111/8221/8231 and sand filter & saltwater system combo CS15110/15220/15230/20110/20220/20230, ECO15110/15220/15230/20110/20220/20230. All Intex Easy Set (15ft and above) and Metal Frame pools (15ft and above) work with the wall mount surface skimmer as long as the liner has the proper inlet/outlet hose connection fittings.
Does the wall mount surface skimmer always need to be used in conjunction with the filter pump?
The wall mount surface skimmer must be used together with an INTEX filter pump. The surface skimmer relies on the filter pump suction to perform.
After setting up the wall mount surface skimmer on an AGP and plugging in the filter pump, the skimmer starts to vibrate and propel towards the outside lifting the skimmer out of the water surface. What should I do?
Ensure the wall mount surface skimmer hose is connected to the suction fitting on the inside of the pool wall, from the pool to the pump, and is setup to the right or left of the suction port (offset). Tighten the hook (for Easy Set Pools) firmly around the top ring or adjust the screws firmly (for Metal Frame Pools). The smooth contour of the hook will not puncture the top ring. Check that all air is purged from the filter pump, surface skimmer and circulation system.
What is the minimum flow rate for adequate functioning of the wall mount surface skimmer?
3785 L/hr is the minimum flow rate requirement, in order to effectively use the wall mount surface skimmer.
After using the surface skimmer for a while, the water flowing into the surface skimmer basket is slower compared to before. What should I do?
Remove the hose adaptor connector from the outlet fitting connection and make sure the threaded strainer connector is free from debris, hair and algae. Also make sure the cartridge in the filter pump is clean and there is no leakage in the circulation system. For sand filter pumps, backwash the sand media as needed.
