Deluxe Series Poly Leaf Skimmer with 4' Pole
Product Overview
A lightweight, surface-safe skimmer and compact 4' pole designed for quick daily skimming on spas and small pools.
The Poolstyle Deluxe Series Poly Leaf Skimmer (model K686CB / PS146) pairs a durable polymer frame with a compact 4-foot aluminum telepole. Unlike generic metal-rim nets that can score finishes, the molded poly frame flexes smoothly against steps and vinyl liners. In our experience, it provides an ideal, maneuverable solution for above-ground pools, swim spas, and shallow-end maintenance.

Captures floating leaves, pollen, and small bugs before they sink to the floor or clog the skimmer basket.
Compatibility

- Fits the included 4-foot pole as well as standard 1.25-inch telescopic service poles
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Rinse the fine mesh with fresh hose water after skimming water treated with high shock doses, and store the net out of direct sunlight to double the mesh lifespan.
Common Questions & Instructions
Is the Poolstyle K686CB leaf skimmer safe for vinyl liner pools?
Yes. The molded poly frame on model K686CB / PS146 is engineered with smooth, rounded edges to protect vinyl, fiberglass, and plaster surfaces from snags and tears.
Can the skimmer head be used with a standard telescoping pole?
Yes. While it comes with a 4-foot pole, the skimmer neck connects to standard 1-1/4-inch pool service poles using standard butterfly V-clips for deeper reach.
How often should a poly leaf skimmer net be replaced?
Under standard residential use and stored out of direct UV exposure when dry, the frame and mesh reliably last 2 to 3 pool seasons before needing replacement.
