That quote pretty much summed it up. That's where you have skimmer baskets and strainer baskets before a pump. As long as you keep out rocks and sticks, it can pass on small stuff. My issue with the two skimmer design is that if you don't have one of them plugged completely, if your vacuum gets stuck on the bottom for a second, you pull air through the other skimmer and lose prime on the pump. Is the pump at ground level? That's one thing I didn't fully think about. I was imagining an above ground pool most of the time. If the pump is above the skimmers, and it's an inground pump, then they should cancel each other out. Where did they find a 3-speed pump? Never seen one of those for a pool application.
