Skimmer for Above-Ground Pool Owners

Simpler equipment, real maintenance needs. Skimmer scales to your pool instead of assuming a five-figure equipment pad.

What makes this hard right now

  • Most pool-care content assumes an in-ground pool with a full equipment pad, not a smaller pump and a sand filter you maintain yourself.
  • You deal with the same real chemistry problems, algae, cloudy water, chlorine lock, but in a smaller volume that swings faster and punishes overdosing.
  • You take the pool down every fall and set it back up every spring, and half of what you figured out last season is forgotten by the time you reassemble it.
  • You don't want an app padded with features built for a pool three times the size of yours.
How Skimmer helps

Built for exactly this.

Water chemistry tracking, right-sized

The same real pH, chlorine, and alkalinity tracking as any pool, useful for a smaller volume where a small dosing mistake shows up faster.

A maintenance schedule for your actual pool type

Skimmer's task templates account for above-ground-specific maintenance, not just a generic in-ground checklist that assumes equipment you don't have.

Chemical dosing log

Get dosing right for a smaller water volume by logging exact amounts, useful precisely because the margin for error is tighter than in a big in-ground pool.

Equipment lifecycle tracking

Track install dates for your pump, filter, and liner, since you're likely the one deciding when they need replacing, not a pool service pro.

Log this season's teardown and next season's setup

Record your fall teardown and spring setup as maintenance tasks with dates and notes, so next season isn't a rebuild from memory.

Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions

Is Skimmer built for above-ground pools, or just in-ground ones?
Skimmer works for any pool type, including above-ground. The same pH, chlorine, and alkalinity targets apply regardless of pool structure, and the task schedule adjusts to your setup.
My pool is smaller than an in-ground pool, does that change how I should dose chemicals?
Yes, in effect. A smaller water volume means the same chemical dose shifts your chemistry more than it would in a larger pool, so accuracy matters more, not less. Get your exact gallons from the pool volume calculator before dosing.
Can I log tear-down and setup as their own maintenance steps each season?
Yes. Add them as maintenance tasks with notes, and next year you'll have exactly what you did last time instead of relying on memory.
Is Skimmer overkill for a simple above-ground setup?
No, the core features, chemistry tracking, a dosing log, and equipment reminders, are exactly as useful for a smaller pool. You're just not leaning on multi-equipment tracking as heavily as someone with a full in-ground pad would.
