Abstract
A powered or non-powered pool skimmer device can include a funnel assembly comprising a funnel having a wide opening and a narrow opening, and a funnel profile extending between the wide opening and the narrow opening, a funnel plate to allow the funnel to freely float or be manually adjusted to position the funnel just beneath the water surface, a filter assembly positioned below the funnel assembly, and a main body with no bottom, so water can flow freely into the swimming pool's main filter system, that fits into an existing skimmer in both height and diameter extending along an axis, which can be locked into the skimmer via a skimmer adapter ring, wherein the funnel assembly, the filter assembly, and the pump assembly are positioned within the main body and arranged along the axis.
