Its transparent construction lets you visually confirm debris capture, while an adjustable funnel angle works with varying water lines so the unit performs in most residential in-ground pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Cyclone improve surface cleaning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cyclone focuses and accelerates water into the skimmer throat, creating stronger surface suction than a bare skimmer opening alone. That intensified flow helps pull small and medium debris across the water surface and into the basket, reducing manual skimming and visible floaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented funnel shape channels water to increase skimmer intake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with existing pump and plumbing—no extra equipment required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse with the included weir wedge or remove the weir door to maximize flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransparent material lets you monitor collected debris at a glance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the Cyclone fit my pool and skimmer basket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cyclone is built to sit on standard 8\" skimmer baskets; it will not fit above-ground pool skimmers designed for other sizes.

For improved circulation, either remove the weir door or use the included weir wedge to hold it open—this allows a larger volume of water to reach the Cyclone and increases flow through the skimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet Cyclone atop the skimmer basket rim; no tools required for most setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlip funnel orientation depending on water level: facing up for ≤3\" low, down for ≥3\" high.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClean filters before first use to reduce restriction and optimize performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeriodically inspect the clear funnel for trapped debris or small animals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and maintenance does it require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cyclone is molded from durable, transparent ABS plastic that resists pool chemicals and UV exposure.

It’s ideal for in-ground pool owners using standard 8\" skimmer baskets who want to reduce floating debris, simplify weekly maintenance, and visually monitor skimmer contents. If you have an above-ground skimmer that is not 8\", or if your pool system requires specialized fittings, this Cyclone will not be compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the Cyclone come with a skimmer basket?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, the Cyclone fits on an existing 8\" skimmer basket; the basket is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will the Cyclone work with any pool water level?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, it has an adjustable funnel orientation to perform across varying water levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"The Skimmie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52904178254136,"sku":"B0C1XM5LPY","price":63.72,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6799\/6984\/files\/the-skimmie-cyclone-front-view.jpg?v=1788449453","url":"https:\/\/kelorix.ca\/products\/the-skimmie-cyclone-pool-skimmer-funnel-8-clear-abs-attachment-boosts-surface-suction-debris-pickup","provider":"Kelorix Canada | Shop Home, Electronics, Beauty, Toys \u0026 More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
