How to Clean Swimming Pool Skimmer Baskets

Hi this is Francisco Cales in Tampa, Florida with Pool Inspectors on behalf of Expert Village. After skimming the surface of your water it is nice to periodically, depending on if you have a screened enclosure or if it is open air, you need to clean your skimmer basket. That will influence the infiltration of your pool. If your basket is covered, water will not be able to get to your pump or return to your pool. To clean the skimmer basket, go ahead and pop up the circular cover here, stick your hand down, pull out the basket and clean out any leaves or debris which you may find in your pool. In this particular situation because of the screen enclosure we don't have any small animals or toys. The purpose of the skimmer is exactly as the name says so that the leaves and debris don't fall into your plaster or whatever your pool has and stains your pool. The more we can pull out before it reaches the bottom, the better.
