Swimming pool edges made from extruded tiles can complement the cleaning tasks performed by a skimmer system because they retain some of the larger dirt and prevent any problems with the inner workings of the suction pump
Furthermore, skimmer system construction is based on a standardised coping system in which the water level is maintained about 15-20 cm lower than the pool edge. These special pool edges enhance the skimmer system system itself by also retaining some of the dirt (such as leaves or insects) and extending the useful life of the system because some of the dirt has already been removed from the water passing through the filter.
The best constructive solutions for swimming pools with a skimmer system use extruded tiles.
