Poolife® NST® Skimstack
Product Overview
A proven choice for homeowners who want to isolate chlorine tablets from organic debris within the skimmer.
The Poolife NST Skimstack is a specialized skimmer basket insert designed to securely hold 3-inch tablets, such as Poolife NST Prime, away from leaves and debris. In our experience, this separation prevents tablets from becoming buried in organic matter, which can lead to uneven dissolution and chemical waste. Its durable construction ensures hassle-free installation and use, providing a robust handle that keeps your hands away from concentrated chemicals during routine maintenance.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Chemical Isolation
By lifting the tablets above the basket floor, it prevents debris from clogging around the chlorine source and ensures consistent water flow.
Ergonomic Handle
The robust, easily grabbable handle allows for basket removal without direct skin contact with chemical residues or cold pool water.
Universal Compatibility
Designed to attach to most standard skimmer baskets using a secure four-screw locking ring system that stays put during high-flow cycles.
Compatibility
- Most standard skimmer baskets
- Poolife NST Prime Tablets
- Standard 3-inch chlorine tablets
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Pool techs often use these on routes to prevent 'tablet mush' caused by wet leaves wrapping around the chlorine, which can restrict water flow and cause localized high-acid zones that eventually brittle the skimmer basket.
Common Questions & Instructions
Can I use the Poolife NST Skimstack with standard Trichlor tablets?
Yes, while optimized for Poolife NST Prime, this insert reliably handles any standard 3-inch chlorine tablets, keeping them separated from the basket's collected debris.
How do I install the Skimstack into my existing skimmer basket?
Installation requires centering the locking ring, securing it with the four included stainless steel screws through the basket grooves, and then twisting the insert into place.
Will this insert fit all skimmer basket sizes?
The Skimstack is compatible with most standard residential skimmer baskets, provided there is enough depth to accommodate the insert and the locking ring assembly securely.
