Speaking from experience gained working with swimming pools for some
years, the door on the skimmer /is/ necessary for the skimmer to
function correctly, that is, skimming just the very top surface of the
pond/pool. Without the door the skimmer will draw water from the
entire depth of the skimmer door opening and will not skim correctly,
although it /will/ work somewhat.
