THE AQUA GENIE SKIMMER SYSTEM
One skimmer that does two jobs
A standard skimmer waits for debris to drift by. The Aqua Genie skimmer creates active surface currents that pull leaves, insects and pollen into the basket before they sink, removing debris up to 10X faster than a standard skimmer.
It also includes a built-in chlorinator that slowly dissolves tablets as water circulates, helping keep your pool balanced with less daily maintenance. One unit handles both jobs using the pump you already have.
10X Faster Debris Removal (vs standard skimmers)
2/3 Less Cleaning Time per Week
2 in 1 Skimmer and Chlorinator
Hands Free Vacuuming
Why it cleans your pool faster
Most skimmers rely on flow alone. The Aqua Genie skimmer creates movement, directing debris toward the basket instead of waiting for it to arrive.
Your pool water flows into the Aqua Genie®
Pool water enters the unit and creates active surface
movement across the pool.
Debris moves toward the basket
Those currents pull leaves, bugs, and pollen toward the skimmer before they sink.
Chlorine dissolves automatically
Built-in tablet chlorination helps keep your water balanced with less daily maintenance.
Watch how the Aqua Genie® automatic pool skimmer works.
The Aqua Genie® creates active surface movement across the entire pool, pushing floating debris toward the skimmer instead of waiting for it to drift there naturally. That means leaves, bugs, and pollen are removed before they sink, helping keep the pool cleaner with less vacuuming and maintenance.
Less work. Better water. Lower bills.
Debris gone before it sinks.
The Aqua Genie® removes floating debris up to 10× faster than a standard skimmer, helping reduce vacuuming and keep the pool cleaner.
Automatic chlorination
The built-in feeder slowly dissolves chlorine tablets as water circulates, helping maintain consistent water chemistry with less daily attention.
Cut cleaning time by two-thirds
By capturing more debris at the surface, the Aqua Genie® helps keep the pool floor cleaner and reduces routine maintenance.
Works with a smaller pump
The Aqua Genie® is designed to work efficiently with lower-horsepower pumps, helping reduce long-term energy costs.
No dedicated vacuum port. No problem.
The Aqua Genie® lets you vacuum directly through the skimmer using the included adapter plate. Just place the plate over the skimmer basket, attach your vacuum hose, and clean the pool using the same system that handles skimming and chlorination. No separate vacuum line required.
It’s the same simple vacuuming process used on many inground pools, just routed through the Aqua Genie® instead of a dedicated wall port.
Vacuuming in three steps
Set the vacuum adapter over the skimmer basket.
Connect a standard vacuum hose directly to the adapter.
Vacuum normally while debris collects in the skimmer basket.
Buy through a dealer
Authorized Hydra dealers carry the Aqua Genie® and can help with installation. Find a dealer near you to get it included with your new pool build or added to an existing pool.
COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ
Answers to what most homeowners ask before they reach out.
Does Aqua Genie® really reduce pool maintenance?
Yes. Aqua Genie® helps remove debris before it sinks and automatically dispenses chlorine, reducing routine cleaning and chemical adjustments.
How is Aqua Genie® different from a standard skimmer?
A standard skimmer waits for debris to drift by. Aqua Genie® creates active surface currents that pull debris toward the basket faster.
Does Aqua Genie® replace a chlorinator
For many pools, yes. The built-in feeder dissolves chlorine tablets as water circulates through the unit.
Can you vacuum through the Aqua Genie®?
Yes. The Aqua Genie® can be used for manual vacuuming with a standard vacuum hose and adapter plate.
Does Aqua Genie® work with saltwater pools?
Yes. Aqua Genie® is compatible with saltwater pool systems.
Can Aqua Genie® be added to an existing pool?
In some cases, yes. Talk with your Hydra dealer or pool professional to see if your pool is a good candidate for retrofit installation.
