Top 3 Pool Skimmers Every Aussie Pool Owner Should Know

Leaves, bugs, and debris are the constant enemies of a clean, clear swimming pool. Whether you’re in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, or anywhere else in Australia, keeping your pool surface clean is essential for water quality and equipment longevity.

At Drive In Pool and Spa Warehouse, we’ve been helping Australian pool owners stay on top of their maintenance with the most effective and innovative products on the market. In this post, we’re highlighting three of our top-selling pool leaf skimmers—each offering a different approach to surface cleaning, from budget-friendly to fully robotic.

Ready to simplify your pool care routine? Here’s what we recommend:

---

1. Gator Inline Leaf Skimmer

Perfect for: Suction pool cleaners | Cost-effective skimming | Minimal setup

The Gator Inline Leaf Skimmer is a floating leaf catcher that connects directly to your suction cleaner’s hose line. As your cleaner runs, it pulls surface water through the skimmer, capturing leaves before they sink or clog your filter system.

Key Features:

• Easy to install—just clips onto the cleaner hose

• Floats to target surface debris directly

• Helps reduce filter cleaning and pump wear

• Ideal for leafy backyards across Australia

A smart, affordable choice for households already using a suction cleaner setup.

2. PoolSkim AutoSkim

Perfect for: Passive skimming | Energy-efficient systems | Year-round use

The PoolSkim AutoSkim is one of Australia’s most popular return-line skimmers. It attaches to your pool’s return outlet and harnesses the water flow to create a powerful vortex that draws in floating debris.

Key Features:

• No power or moving parts required

• Installs in minutes to your return line

• Award-winning Australian-made design

• Traps leaves, insects, and pollen before they sink

It’s an excellent passive solution for eco-conscious pool owners and works 24/7 when your pump is running.
