The Flowclear 680 gal. (2,574 L) Skimatic Filter Pump is a filtration system combining a surface and water skimmer - with no extra hoses needed! This innovative pump by Bestway is simple and easy to install in your above ground pool* - simply hang it over the edge of the pool, plug it in, be sure it is immersed in water and watch as it starts to go to work cleaning your pool! Plus, it works silently - no more noisy pumps! The Skimatic filter pump has a large capacity tank that sucks in floating leaves and other debris, keeping your pool water fresh and clean. The Skimatic can be cleaned with a water hose daily - just be sure you have it unplugged before you do any maintenance on the pump. It utilizes #58012 filter cartridges, which we recommend changing every 2 weeks for optimal use. For use with 1,100-20,500 L (300-5,400 gallons) pools.
