It is not an ordinary wall skimmer, and the difference is in where it sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkipping the niche\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conventional skimmer needs a niche cut into the pool wall, and that opening is the weakest point in the structure. The No-niche removes the need for one, which takes a common source of leaks and cracking out of the build entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it skims\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is not set into a wall, it draws from every direction at once.
