The Hydro-Skimmer by Waterco is designed to provide the most efficient skimming action in the industry.
Hydro-Dynamic Weir
The unique patented hydrodynamic weir in the skimmer creates a lifting action on the skimmer plate, much like an airplane wing. This uplift speeds up the surface flow and eliminates ineffective deep currents. The Hydro-Skimmer skims a thinner layer of surface water at a higher velocity, resulting in 300% to 500% more surface skimming and it does it at flow rates as low as 10 gallons per minute.
Hydro-Control Plate
The patented Hydro-Control Plate is a feature of all Baker Hydro Deluxe, Commercial, and Hydro-Pak skimmer systems and is designed to easily regulate the ratio of flow between the main drain and surface skimming to provide a convenient connection point for a vacuum cleaner hose.
Baker Hydro Skimmer
On conventional skimmers, water from the main drain does not go through the skimmer basket. The Hydro-Skimmer is designed to pass all water through the basket making it easy to remove leaves and debris before going to the pump.
