Abstract
Skimming devices may use pressurized water from, for example, a return line of a swimming pool or spa. The devices may be adjustable vertically and levelled relative to an upper water surface (waterline) of a pool. They additionally may create 'blades' of debris-laden pool water entering their floating heads so as to move debris smoothly and efficiently over wings or foils into associated filters.
