Description
BioGuard Skim Mor Skimmer Socks - 5 Pack
BioGuard Skim Mor is an easy-to-use pool skimmer sock designed to help your pool filter work more efficiently by catching the debris, oils, lotions, cosmetics, pollen, and fine particles that can slip past a standard skimmer basket. Treated with Myclex technology, Skim Mor helps stop scum and small debris before they reach your filter, helping reduce maintenance and support cleaner, clearer pool water.
Smarter Skimming for Cleaner Pool Water
Your skimmer basket catches leaves and larger debris, but smaller particles and oily residue can still pass through and put extra strain on your pool filter. BioGuard Skim Mor adds an extra layer of protection by fitting over the skimmer basket and trapping fine debris before it circulates deeper into your pool system.
This makes it a simple upgrade for routine pool maintenance, especially during heavy swim season, pollen season, windy weather, or whenever sunscreen, body oils, cosmetics, and organic debris are creating buildup in the water.
Why Pool Owners Use BioGuard Skim Mor
Helps Protect Your Filter
BioGuard Skim Mor catches fine debris before it reaches the pool filter, which can help reduce filter clogging and extend filter life. By stopping debris earlier in the circulation process, it helps your filter work more efficiently.
Traps Oils, Lotions, and Cosmetics
Skim Mor is treated with Myclex technology to help attract oily contaminants such as sunscreen, lotions, cosmetics, and body oils. These impurities can contribute to dull water, waterline buildup, and extra filter maintenance.
Easy Slip-On Installation
No measuring, mixing, or complicated setup is required. Simply place the Skim Mor sock inside the skimmer basket, stretch it over the basket rim, and return the basket to the skimmer.
Helps Reduce Pool Maintenance
By catching more debris in the skimmer basket, Skim Mor makes it easier to remove contaminants before they create bigger water clarity or filtration problems. Just empty as needed and replace regularly.

Important Use Notes
