Customer Reviews

This is not a toy !?!
For all of those of us that purchased one of those round, bean bag looking swimming pools, with the inflated ring at the top, this is an outstanding addition to the pump/filter system that collects floating material at the surface (bugs,etc.) and spares the small paper filter the burden of collecting this material and requiring more frequent changes. This skimmer is a breeze to install and maintain. I HIGHLY reccommend this product.

Does the job great!!
(This is not a toy is in reference to the fact that this product is in Amazon's toy section.)

This little thing keeps me from skimming A LOT! In fact I probably skim about 80% less now thatnks to this. One tip I can provide is that when you are done playing in the pool, take EVERYTHING out of the pool so debris doesn't get stuck on it and it can be picked up by the skimmer. Toys, ladder, etc. And don't just use the skimmer like I did when I first got it. You need to switch back and forth from the skimmer to the regular intake port so that the pump/filter can clean more than just the surface water. I kept getting cloudy water and I couldn't figure out why until one day I took the skimmer off, it was then I realized what I was doing wrong lol.

Also it shoould be adjusted so the skimmer's basket and floating part are only 1 inch apart, more than that and it will float away. But it states the 1" tip in the directions.

And I have found that cleaning the filter is required maybe only once per week now. Skimmer or not, the filter should be cleaned once per week to avoid porblems and keep your water clear. If you have to clean your filter every day as one said, something else is going on than the skimmer.

It saves me from constantly having to go out and skim so it is a definate must have!

This is not a toy, it is for getting the trash out of the pool. Better product than the one that comes with the pool. I really like this one better.
