The Waterway 540-6610 Renegade Gunite Skimmer is a heavy-duty in-ground skimmer built specifically for gunite pool construction. The two-port white body uses solvent-weld PVC socket connections for strong glue joints, and its NSF-approved 75 GPM rating delivers high-volume surface skimming. A float valve and spring-loaded weir door keep water intake smooth and uninterrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for gunite pools only?
It's designed and sized specifically for gunite construction. Vinyl-liner and fiberglass pools use different skimmer bodies with different mounting flanges.
What does the float valve do?
It seals off the skimmer throat if the water level drops too far, helping to prevent the pump from losing prime and running dry.
What plumbing connections does it have?
A 2" socket and a 2½" spigot for the main lines, plus a ½" socket that accepts an overflow or auto-fill line.
Is the basket included?
Yes — the skimmer ships with its large locking basket and spring-loaded weir door.
Why PVC instead of ABS?
PVC bodies bond more reliably with standard PVC pipe and PVC cement, producing stronger, longer-lasting glue joints.
Does this need professional installation?
Skimmer bodies are set during pool construction or a major renovation and should be installed by a qualified pool professional.
