Abstract
A floating skimmer that is adapted to float on the surface of the water to collect surface debris. The skimmer comprises an inlet connected to a substantially tubular body having an intake port. The substantially tubular body connects to a conduit assembly having an outlet port connecting to the hose of an external suction pump. The conduit assembly may have a plurality of ports such as an intake pipe for connection to an underwater vacuum and a tubing input assembly. The tubing input assembly connects to flexible inlet tubes of various lengths to allow the flow of water and debris from various depths of the pool into the skimmer. In operation, the debris collected from the various intake pipes and ports is removed from the skimmer through suction provided from the external suction pump. This skimmer allows debris to be collected from the surface of the pool as well as from various depths in the pool.
