What customers say
This pool skimmer is widely praised for offering exceptional value and effective debris removal for above-ground pools. Users find it a significant upgrade over standard equipment, noting its superior skimming action once operational. The core sentiment centers on performance balanced with affordability. However, potential buyers should be aware of two recurring themes. Installation demands meticulous attention to detail to ensure a leak-proof seal, as instructions can be unclear for novice users. Additionally, some long-term reviews mention that the plastic components, like the weir door, lack robust durability over multiple seasons. Overall, it is a highly recommended, cost-effective choice for budget-conscious owners prepared for a careful setup.
