The Skimmie
The Skimmie generally enjoys a very positive customer sentiment, particularly among pool owners seeking to improve their skimmer's efficiency. Users frequently praise its effectiveness in capturing fine debris like hair, bugs, and small leaves, preventing them from reaching and clogging the main pump basket. This leads to cleaner pools, reduced pump strain, and less frequent maintenance. Installation is often described as simple and quick, adding to its appeal. While a few users note potential flow reduction if the Skimmie becomes overly full, or question its necessity for already efficient skimmers, the overwhelming consensus highlights its value as an affordable and practical solution for enhancing pool filtration and extending equipment life.
