I have a lot of customers that really hate cleaning their skimmers because the pads are hard to reach and the basket is flimsy netting. The Savio Skimmer is very easy to clean, and here's a video brought to you by Columbia Water Gardens
That's an old video 😅 The savio skimmer draws water from around the sides, through the pad and into the pump. We don't install them anymore, but we service them. I don't like their design because when the filter pad gets dirty it starves the pump of water and can cause premature failure of the pump in my experience.
