Made of durable polypropylene resistant to common pool chemicals, the unit is designed for quick attachment to Easy Set pool sidewalls using the included adjustable bracket for non-metal frame pools. The built-in strainer basket is removable for fast emptying and maintenance, helping keep pools clearer between manual skims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Intex 28000E keep the pool surface cleaner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe skimmer creates continuous surface flow by linking to your filter pump, pulling floating leaves, bugs, and small debris into its basket rather than letting them sink. Because it targets the waterline where debris naturally accumulates, it reduces the need for frequent manual skimming and lowers debris load on the main filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperates with pumps of 800+ GPH (3,028 L\/hr) to maintain effective surface suction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWall mount position keeps the skimmer at the ideal waterline to trap floating debris.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContinuous operation minimizes debris settling and helps filtration efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat maintenance does the removable skimmer basket require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is straightforward: shut off the pump, remove the strainer basket, empty and rinse it, then reinstall. The basket’s shape and fit make it easy to lift out even when damp or partially full, and the polypropylene construction is easy to hose clean and resists chemical corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePull-out basket design for quick emptying and rinsing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo tools required for routine cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable plastic resists common pool sanitizers for long-lasting use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pools and pumps are compatible with this Intex skimmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 28000E is intended for above-ground pools, particularly Easy Set pools, and needs an Intex filter pump rated at 800 GPH or higher.
