Ecoskim Information

Ecoskim is an innovative pool cleaning device produced in Australia by Australians for Australian conditions. Only the highest quality uv stable plastics available are used in its manufacture. Pool owners can count on many years of trouble-free service from this product and be further assured by the 2 year guarantee. Ecoskim was invented and developed by Brisbane based friends Paul DeGroot and Mark Davies. Paul has background in pool and landscape installation whilst Mark is the owner/director of an Acacia Ridge based engineering company Metalmark Pty Ltd. The idea was born in direct response to the South East Queensland water shortage and complaints from their pool owning friends who were looking for a drought friendly pool product as an alternative to the pool blanket. Ecoskim is connected by a flexible hose directly into the suction side of the pools filtration system. As it is a floating device, it is self-leveling and will continue to operate regardless of the water level of the swimming pool down to 350 mm below coping (or top edge). As the pool water is drawn through the device, the floating component finds a differential between the pools and Ecoskim water levels thus creating a weir effect that very effectively skims the floating debris from the pool surface.
