One $3,000 skimmer replacement can cost as much as five InnoSkim Twin Packs.
InnoSkim is a one-piece, builder-grade pool skimmer engineered to replace traditional multi-piece skimmers that rely on glued joints and weak connection points. Built from high-grade virgin engineering polymer, field-tested 25+ years and UV-stabilized for the pool environment, it drops into concrete, fiberglass and vinyl builds on one platform — so your crew specs one skimmer, not three.

Sets into the shell before the pour or panel goes in — no field glue-up of separate parts. Built-in suction ports plumb straight to the pad. One platform across concrete, fiberglass and vinyl, with Standard and Extended throat options to match your shell without adapters.

The skimmer you only want to install once.
Once a pool is finished, the skimmer is built into the shell and surrounded by concrete, coping or decking. If it cracks, separates or leaks, replacing it can mean cutting into the finished pool just to reach it. The skimmer may be a small part of the build — but when it fails, the repair isn't.
Replacing a skimmer is a big deal.

What changes for you
Less to fail. Less to choose. Less that comes back
Every part earns its place.
Built-in auto fill.
An optional auto fill system integrated into the body itself — one less canister on the deck, one less separate connection that can leak or turn into a callback. Available on the Extended throat skimmer.

Standard vs. Extended throat
Same platform, two throat depths — check fitment before you pour.
Body height, basket diameter and base width are identical across both throats — only the throat reach changes.

Questions builders ask
It's a one-piece body instead of a multi-piece assembly with glued joints. Fewer internal joints means fewer places for a leak to start, and one less thing for your crew to assemble on site.
Concrete, fiberglass and vinyl-liner pools, on one platform, so you're not stocking a different skimmer for every pool type.
Extended throat suits shells with a deeper wall or where you need extra reach to the water line. Standard fits most new-build specs. Dimensioned drawings for both are above.
No product can promise zero leaks over the life of a pool. What InnoSkim removes is the internal glued seams and weak connection points that are a common source of skimmer-related leaks and callbacks in multi-piece designs.
An oversized, deep-leaf basket so flow stays strong for longer between cleans, plus a soft-close weir door that's less likely to stick or need early replacement.
Yes — an optional integrated auto fill system is available on the Extended throat, built into the body rather than added as a separate accessory.
Yes, in-mold customization is available for builders and OEMs at qualifying volume. Ask your BuildTuff contact for details.
