Eco-Friendly Pool Skimming Device Ecoskim from Waterco

Topping up your pool a thing of the past
Award-winning Ecoskim pool skimming device now available from Waterco

International swimming pool and water treatment specialist Waterco Ltd is now a major distributor of the award-winning, eco-friendly pool skimming device, the Ecoskim.

A recent recipient of the Smart Approved Watermark Consumer Product of the Year 2011, the Ecoskim attaches to existing pool skimmer boxes to allow for greater fluctuations in pool water levels due to evaporation and heavy rainfall - without compromising on water quality.

"With the Ecoskim, topping up pool water is a thing of the past. And in times of heavy rainfall, rather than purge the excess water, the Ecoskim continues to ensure pool water is skimmed adequately," says Waterco group marketing director, Bryan Goh.

"This innovation is capable of skimming water and operating a suction cleaner concurrently. It means that the suction cleaner will clean the pool's floor and walls without impeding its skimming action. Without the Ecoskim, a suction cleaner would block off the skimmer and prevent it from skimming the surface of the pool."

Unlike the average skimmer box which operates within a maximum 70mm water level fluctuation window, the Ecoskim is capable of operating as water levels fluctuate up to 350mm. In fact, the Ecoskim can maintain water levels for up to six months of zero rainfall before topping up is necessary.

"The Ecoskim literally saves pool owners tens of thousands of litres of water each year, not to mention hundreds of dollars in water rates. We are pleased to be distributing such an innovative and sustainable pool product which is set to change the way pools are managed worldwide," adds Goh.

Developed in Brisbane at the height of recent water restrictions by Paul deGroot and Mark Davies, who both have expertise in pool installation and engineering, the Ecoskim represents the first new design in skimmer boxes in 35 years. Its enlarged weir holds more water than existing skimmer boxes and its flow strength is also much stronger.

"After many years of research and development, we are proud to have launched such an important, eco-friendly product for the pool industry," says Paul deGroot, Ecoskim co-inventor. "Not only is the Ecoskim easy to install, once fitted it's easy to maintain and enables relatively stress-free pool ownership.

"We're pleased to be partnering with Waterco to distribute the Ecoskim and look forward to a long and successful relationship."
