The Alabama summer heat can be crippling. Sometimes the only relief is finding somewhere to take a swim.
Wetumpka resident Doug Fischer was tired of storms blowing leaves into his skimmer, so he did something about it. He created the Skimmer Saver . WETUMPKA , Ala. - Wetumpka resident Doug Fischer is definitely a pool guy.Fischer is retired from the Air Force and loves his home in Wetumpka . Every once in a while a storm rolls through, and his pool fills up with leaves.
The Skimmer Saver takes less than a minute to assemble. Getting the patent wasn’t as fast. That took almost three years. “I looked online, and they had some you attach to the skimmer itself, and bending down and taking it off, it’s not possible. I needed something a little more convenient.” To show us how it works, the man who loves a clean pool dumped a bucket full of leaves into his perfectly clean pool.
Wetumpka resident Doug Fischer was tired of storms blowing leaves into his skimmer, so he did something about it. He created the Skimmer Saver.“You just set it on the pool deck, there’s two wings. It’s just a double screen fixed to the pipe. It diverts everything: leaves, toys, frogs, and snakes.”A simple idea, and a major time saver, so you can spend more time swimming and less time cleaning.
