Waterway Plastics 540-8400 Renegade Inground Pool Skimmer - Vinyl Liner and Fiberglass
What This Part Is Used For
This Renegade gunite skimmer functions as the surface intake for inground concrete pools. It pulls water from the pool surface into the filtration system while capturing floating debris. The skimmer body is cast into the pool shell during construction. It supports standard skimmer internals and plumbing connections. Reliable skimming is essential for balanced circulation.
Why This Part Matters
Surface debris that bypasses the skimmer places extra load on the filter and main drain. A compromised skimmer body can cause leaks behind the pool wall. Replacing the skimmer restores proper hydraulic balance. This improves water clarity and reduces maintenance. A properly installed skimmer protects the pool structure and equipment.
