What is a pool skimmer and how does it work?
The skimmer - one of the most common swimming pool features - has undergone several major design innovations over the years leading to the final result being defined by the material and morphology of the pool edge
El sistema swimming es el que tradicionalmente más se utiliza para los proyectos de private and residential swimming pools.

What is a swimming swimming pool
But, what is a swimming pool skimmer? A swimming system consists of a series of openings built in to the walls of a swimming pool. Its purpose is to clean the surface by sucking water into a conduit system. It is an essential part of any pool to ensure proper operation and maintenance.
Function of the swimming swimming pool
Another of the doubts that arise when choosing this type of system is specifically the operation of the swimming or what is the use of the swimming pool cleaner. The main function it performs is to filter the pool water. This allows, through a suction pump connected to it, all the dirt that may be in the water not to settle at the bottom, but to be filtered. Thus, it ensures that the water is always clean, disinfected and in good condition for use.
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 coping 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 coping 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. Its low porosity and resistance to chemical agents, together with its mechanical resistance and ability to withstand sudden temperature changes, make this material the most long-lasting and hygienic in the market for swimming pool coping
Furthermore, opting for the extruded tiles from Exagres to cover swimming pools with a skimmer system not only provides the technical characteristics mentioned above but also offers a broad range of potential designs and finishes. These include collections that offer innovative system decorated skimmer edge pieces for all sides of the pool, thereby multiplying the aesthetic options and allowing for complete pool integration.
How many swimming do I need for my pool?
The amount of swimming required will always depend on the size of the pool. Approximately, it would be advisable to install one every 25m3 of water. For the success of the project, from Exagres we always recommend counting on the best professionals to carry out the construction and installation tasks of the system swimming in the pool.
