Best For: Pool Owners Needing Reliable Skimming & Easy Compatibility

This Pentair U-3 Skimmer is ideal for in-ground pools where consistent surface skimming is needed. Specifically, the skimmer works best in leafy environments or where debris load is moderate to heavy. Moreover, if you’re updating an older skimmer and want a drop-in replacement with modern materials, this is the skimmer to choose.

The Pentair U-3 Skimmer helps with solid debris management, easy installation, and compatibility with common pipe sizes right out of the box. Moreover, it’s engineered to reduce maintenance hassles and keep water clean so your pump runs efficiently. Additionally, the skimmer is backed by Pentair and ShastaPoolSupply.com’s fast shipping and support.

Still Wondering…

Can I use this skimmer with my existing pool plumbing?
Yes. The dual 2" slip connection with included 1-1/2" slip reducers gives you flexibility to match your pool’s plumbing without extra fittings.

Does this come with a float valve?
No. This skimmer includes the basket only. You can add a Pentair float separately if your system requires it for automatic water level control.

Expert Comparison & Pro Tips

Compared with lower-end skimmers, the Pentair U-3 stands out with built-in reducers that eliminate the need for separate fittings. Specifically, the thermoplastic body reduces cracking and fading under sun exposure. Moreover, you can pair it with Pentair's standard replacement float.

Pro Tip: When installing, double-check your plumbing diameter at both the pump and return lines prior to setting your skimmer. Moreover, this will help you select the correct reducer and prevents costly returns or delays.
