This involves turning off the pool pump, removing the skimmer lid, and clearing out the basket. It's important to flush the skimmer regularly to prevent clogs, improve water quality, and enhance the efficiency of the pool's filtration system. Proper maintenance helps keep the pool clean and prolongs the lifespan of the equipment.
