Abstract:
The Skimmer Basket Cleaning Rod is a dual purpose tool for both removing the skimmer plate of a pool skimmer and removal of the skimmer basket to avoid the dangers of human contact with the contents of the skimmer basket and to alleviate any bending over and kneeling on a cement surface, ending the risk of injury to back and knees. The Skimmer Basket Cleaning Rod consists of a solid aluminum rod with a handle on one end and a universal catch on the other end. The catch is designed for removing the skimmer plate through insertion into the skimmer plate hole located at its center while the opposite end is an ergonomically designed handle for ease of retrieving the skimmer plate and the skimmer basket. The Skimmer Basket Cleaning Rod is a one piece extraction devise designed to accommodate all skimmer plates and skimmer baskets for above-ground and in-ground pool skimmers.
