Why do you need a skimmer?

Don't Skimp On A Skimmer

A skimmer might seem like an oversize badminton racket that's good for nothing except catching the stray float or chasing away a duck but don't underestimate it! A skimmer is actually a valuable member of the pool supplies family that could save you some extra maintenance bucks in the long run.

Too many leaves in the pool could create problems with the water (which would force you to add more chlorine or other chemicals). Leaves left behind can also cause damage to the filters, and even the vacuum. This, of course, means more maintenance money spent.
