What are pool shell fittings used for?

Pool shell fittings are installed in the pool structure to manage water circulation, suction, and return flow. They include skimmers, drains, return inlets, and vacuum points.

Why are skimmers important in a swimming pool?

Skimmers remove floating debris from the water surface and direct it to the filtration system, helping maintain clean and clear pool water.

Are pool fittings resistant to chemicals and UV?

Quality pool shell fittings are typically made from durable ABS or similar materials designed to resist pool chemicals, sunlight exposure, and long-term outdoor conditions.

Pool Shell Fittings

DropsPool Pool Shell Fittings combine UV-treated ABS and marine-grade SS316 stainless steel to deliver safe, efficient and long-lasting hydraulic performance. From skimmers and inlets to drains, deck boxes and ladders, every component is engineered for concrete and liner pools.
