Skimmer pool - the classic in pool construction
The skimmer pool is the classic form of private swimming pool and has been a tried and tested system in pool construction for decades. The surface of the water is continuously cleaned with a skimmer, also known as a surface extractor. Leaves, insects and other impurities are sucked up directly and removed via the filter technology. This results in clear water and makes it easy to enjoy swimming in your own garden. Our reference video shows a crystal clear Natural pool with skimmer system.
The skimmer pool has proven to be a functional and cost-effective solution that is characterised by simple installation, flexible variations in shape and size and a large selection of materials. This pool type is available as Pre-designed pool made of polypropylene or other materials and you can also have it customised by egli jona. If you are looking for a solid and proven solution, a skimmer pool is always a good choice.

A skimmer pool is particularly impressive due to its simplicity and reliability compared to other pool types. The technology has been tried and tested for many years and ensures stable water quality. Installation is relatively straightforward, there is a large selection of materials and you have the option of customising the design. The costs are also relatively low compared to a Infinity Pool or Overflow Pool This makes the skimmer pool an attractive solution for many garden owners who want to fulfil their dream of having their own swimming pool.
The advantages at a glance:
- Price-performance ratio: Cheaper than an overflow pool or other pool types
- Technology: Proven filter technology and inlet nozzles for good water quality

Pool skimmer and skimmer pool: construction and technology
The design of a skimmer pool is simple and efficient, which is why it has proven itself over the years among all pool systems. The skimmer sits on the side of the pool and sucks up the water surface. The pool water flows via the skimmer into the filter system, where dirt and impurities are removed. The cleaned water then flows back into the pool via the inlet nozzles.
The combination of surface extractor, filter system and inlet nozzles ensures even water circulation and stable water quality. A heat pump can also be installed to keep the water in the pool at a pleasant temperature. With a Cover or canopy the pool system is additionally protected.
The most important elements of this pool technology:
- Pool skimmer/surface extractor: removes leaves, insects and dirt from the water surface
- Filter system: Ensures water quality through mechanical and biological water purification
- Inlet nozzles: ensure even water circulation and a stable water level
- Heat pump: an optional addition for pleasant temperatures in the pool water
- Pool cover/pool enclosure: protects the pool from dirt ingress and reduces water consumption.
The technology is robust and has proven itself. A skimmer pool is therefore a reliable solution for any garden.
Design and various options
A skimmer pool is not only functional, but can also be visually customised to suit the surroundings and the owner's specific wishes. You have the option of choosing between different variants, from a prefabricated pool made of polypropylene with fast delivery to a high-quality skimmer pool made of natural stone with an elegant design. There are also individual solutions with corner steps, in different colours and a flexible pool wall. At egli jona, you can get personalised advice and we will show you all the options we offer as a pool builder.
The design depends heavily on the client's wishes. With a suitable, modern pool cover, swimming enjoyment is guaranteed in different seasons, making the pool a real dream in your own garden.
Care and cleaning - skimmer, water and pool floor
Maintaining a skimmer pool is straightforward, as the skimmer does a large part of the work automatically. The surface extractor continuously removes leaves, insects and other impurities from the water surface and feeds them directly into the skimmer basket. However, this should be emptied regularly so that the water circulation is not impaired. In addition, the connected sand filter system ensures thorough water purification by removing fine particles from the water and thus keeping the water quality stable.
The regular pool cleaning tasks for a skimmer pool include the following:
- Cleaning the skimmer basket of leaves and insects
- Flushing the sand filter system to ensure the water quality
- Control of water level and water level.
- Maintenance of the pool wall and floor to prevent deposits
A good pool cover or enclosure and well thought-out garden design and planting will further reduce the amount of maintenance required.
Comparison with other pool types such as the overflow pool
A skimmer pool is cheaper and easier to install than other pool types, for example in comparison to an overflow pool, also known as an overflow pool. While the water in an overflow pool flows over the entire waterline into a concealed channel below the water level, the skimmer works selectively.
- Skimmer pool: Functional, cost-effective and with a simple pool system for cleaning. It has proven to be a clear solution for private gardens.
- Overflow Pool: Exclusive effect, slightly higher costs, more complex construction and longer delivery time. The overflow pool is particularly suitable for homeowners who want a particularly luxurious and impressive effect in a pool.
Both types have their advantages and the choice depends on the individual wishes of the client.
