Frequently asked questions
What does the Pool Flow Defender do?
The Pool Flow Defender (PFD) maintains uninterrupted water flow to your pool pump—even during heavy leaf-fall—by bypassing clogged skimmer baskets and preventing pump fatigue or failure.
How does PFD help save money on pool maintenance?
By preventing clogs and pump failures, P.F.D. reduces the need for costly repairs and emergency service calls. It also minimizes manual skimmer cleaning, saving you time and effort throughout the leafing season.
How does PFD help prevent algae growth?
By ensuring continuous circulation of chlorinated water, P.F.D. reduces stagnation and helps inhibit algae growth, keeping your pool cleaner and easier to maintain.
Will I still need to clean my skimmer basket regularly?
Not with P.F.D. installed. Its skimmer gate restricts debris from entering the basket area, allowing your pump to operate without pulling in leaves or other clogging materials.
Is it easy to switch back to a traditional skimmer setup?
Yes! The design allows for a quick changeover—just a few seconds—to revert to your standard skimmer basket configuration when needed.
Can I use PFD year-round?
Absolutely. Built for durability, P.F.D. is suitable for seasonal or continuous use, offering long-term protection and performance.
