Your pool skimmer plays a critical role in keeping your water clean and your circulation system running properly. When a skimmer becomes cracked, loose, or starts leaking, it can lead to water loss, poor filtration, and even structural damage around your pool.
At Fox Pools our professional pool skimmer replacement service restores proper surface skimming, protects your pool from leaks, and helps your entire filtration system operate more efficiently. Whether your skimmer is failing due to age, freeze damage, or structural shifting, we provide precise, long-lasting replacement solutions.
Pentair and Hayward Pool Skimmer Replacements
We regularly install and replace industry-leading skimmers from Pentair and Hayward, two of the most trusted names in pool equipment.
Pentair skimmers are known for their durability, wide-mouth designs, and strong debris capture performance. They are commonly used in both vinyl liner and concrete pools and are a great choice for homeowners looking for long-term reliability and efficient surface cleaning.
Hayward skimmers are widely recognized for their dependable design and easy serviceability. Many residential pools (especially vinyl liner pools) use Hayward wide-mouth skimmers as a standard replacement option.
