Abstract
A face plate has a passageway positionable in a skimmer opening of a pool. An arcuate short diverter plate is coupled to a side edge of the face plate. An arcuate long diverter plate in a generally S-shaped configuration is coupled to a side edge of the face plate spaced from the short diverter plate. The diverter plates have closely spaced regions for forming a restricted flow path for water to be skimmed to increase water speed and skimming effectiveness. The long diverter plate has an arcuate region with a vertical axis of rotation co-extensive with an axis of a pool well.
