SP1072S2DGR | Hayward SwimMaster 2" x 2.5" Dark Gray Skimmer

The Hayward SP1072S2DGR SwimMaster skimmer delivers high-capacity performance with a 2″ throat and 2.5″ spigot outlet, designed for commercial and upscale residential pools requiring robust surface skimming. Built from durable unibody construction and finished in dark gray for architectural appeal, this skimmer includes PVC ports for quicker installation, a self-adjusting 8″ weir mounted on a stainless-steel spring for consistent surface draw, a large debris basket for reduced maintenance, and an integrated pressure-testing port for system verification. Rated at up to 75 GPM, it supports demanding hydraulic applications and optional float/bypass or equalizer kit configurations to meet commercial (NSF) requirements when used with the proper cover.

Highlights

• High-Flow Capacity: Rated up to 75 gallons per minute—among the industry’s highest for skimmers of this size—ensuring optimal surface cleaning in larger pools.

• Premium Dark-Gray Finish: The dark gray color option complements modern pool aesthetics and upscale outdoor environments while offering the same structural strength as the white model.

• Installation-Friendly Design: Includes PVC ports rather than solvent weld only, reducing installation time and simplifying plumbing connections.

• Enhanced Weir & Debris Handling: Features a self-adjusting 8″ weir on a stainless-steel spring and oversized debris basket to capture more leaves and debris between cleanings.

• Adaptable for Commercial Use: Can be configured with an optional float/bypass or equalizer kit and compatible cover to meet NSF commercial pool standards, making it versatile for both residential and commercial applications.
