Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a swimming pool intake filter cover device that is primarily comprised of a generally L-shaped body further comprised of at least one 90-degree elbow, at least one vertical frame member, at least one horizontal frame member, and at least one screen. The body of the device can be placed on a ground surface near a pool and a portion of the body can be placed within the pool in front of the intake filter opening of the skimmer. The portion of the body in front of the filter opening is further comprised of a screen that covers the front and sides of the opening, to prevent debris from entering into the opening. In differing embodiments, the body may be weighted to prevent movement of the body.
