The Skimmer Shield's unique patented flexible design means installation truly requires no special knowledge, no tools, and no experience with pool equipment. If you can bend a flexible piece of plastic and slide it into a slot, you can install the Skimmer Shield — no matter what type of pool you have.
Removal is just as easy — simply squeeze the wings together and the shield pops right out for routine basket cleaning. Pop it right back in when you're done.
