Description

The award-winning PoolSkim uses the power of the water returning to the pool to create a venturi suction that draws all floating debris like a magnet and is collected in a sturdy nylon mesh clip-on bag. REQUIREMENTS: The PoolSkim does not connect to the pump filter! The PoolSkim attaches to one of the return jets on the side of the pool -- where water flows back into the pool. Male and female adapters are included for a standard 1-1/2 inch threaded pool return fitting. CHECK YOUR POOL RETURNS FOR THREADED RETURN FITTINGS BEFOR ORDERING. Note: If your pool has a different type of return fitting then an additional adapter, purchased separately, will be necessary. This includes Intex brand pools. Poolskim USA is the manufacturers source for installation videos and technical support.

  • Game changer!
Was sick of spending quite a bit of time skimming prior to each pool use. Was actually looking for a surface skimming automatic robot (selection appears limited and they appear to be pricey) when I stumbled upon this. Price seemed fair, reviews seemed good, and figured I could send back if didn't work. It works exactly as shown. Creates a little whirlpool that all the floating debris goes into. Most debris are gone w/in 10 minutes and everything (or close to it) is gone within a hour. This thing will save me HOURS every summer. Not hard to install but not a cake walk either, takes a little bit of basic DIY skill. Configuration depends on how low below the water line your jet/return is and also what type of vacuum you have. The installation video on their site is confusing in my opinion, however, I found one YouTube from the manufacturer which made more sense to me. You have 2x 90 degree elbows, 1 45 degree elbow, and a 1ish foot piece of PVC pipe. You may need only 1 90, or only 1 45, or 2 90s + pipe, or 1 90 + pipe + 1 45...may need to angle the pipe upwards, downwards, or somewhere in between, may also need cut the pipe. The water pressure was causing the unit to move at the return threading so it took a little plumber's tape and a pipe wrench to get it snug. The screws need to be really tight as well (probably not a terrible idea to use pvc glue instead of the screws once you are confident with your configuration). Seems pretty sturdy, ridiculously easy to empty the debris bag, works as it should, and eliminates (or almost eliminates) the need to manually skim. If you're tired of manually skimming then this is an absolute must have. ... show more

  • Totally, utterly amazing invention
The media could not be loaded. The long video should give you an idea of how well this works in practice. This is how my pool has normally been looking between cleanings, and the PoolSkim was just installed when this video was taken. The pool no longer looks like this. The inventor of this should be knighted. Fighting the oak leaf situation in the pool all summer really takes much of the enjoyment out of owning a pool. Clean out the pool, come back two hours later and it's a total mess of leaves. Cleaning out the skimmer baskets is a pain because I use the filter saver socks in an attempt to keep fine sludge from reaching the filter. From the moment this was installed, it immediately sucked down all the passing leaves that routinely missed the skimmer. Because there were just so many leaves, I had to run the booster pump almost three hours a day to clean all the ones that would eventually sink to the bottom. Now I have it set to one hour, so in theory there should be a payback period to this in hard dollars. That does not even put a price on all the time saved by not having to worry about keeping the pool deck clear of leaves constantly and raking the pool every time we want to use it. This means less cleaning of the skimmer baskets and cleaning the filter saver nets. On random inspection, the only leaves in the pool have either recently dropped in, or those which are sticking along the edge or the pool sweep hose. All you have to do is install using the manual guidelines for piping to a general height and it will self-level with changes in the water level, since the upper cylinder freely moves up and down. I just wish the net were larger. I was concerned that the net would be difficult to clean, but turning it upside down allows all the debris to drop since the netting is fairly stiff, so it holds its shape when emptying. I would like to have two of these, but having only four return outlets, I don't want to impact the flow and circulation of the water around the pool. I would say that if you have the money to afford a pool, don't be cheap and overlook this if you are irritated with too much pool maintenance. If you don't have a lot of falling debris, it may not be worth your while though. The one "problem" with this is that you can't leave things free floating in the pool, like a floating chlorinator, since the vortex will hold such things right next to it. I recently added this solar copper device to reduce chlorine usage and it cannot be used without a tether because the PoolSkim vortex acts like a magnet. For anyone curious about how the flow of water around my pool is created, I use three fountains like these on the other return ports (the ones I own no longer seem to be made): Instead of using as a fountain, I use them underwater and point in a counterclockwise direction along the wall (about 10 degrees off the wall actually to prevent wear on the wall) The flow is restricted when compared to a standard jet, so at a speed of just 1700RPM on a variable speed pump (with a clean filter), it moves water quickly around the pool. Even at 1200RPM the pool stays clean. The PoolSkim includes some pieces to do something about restricting the flow on your other jets, though it wasn't apparent how to install them if needed. Two year update: No change. No worn parts. Just works as well as it did on day one. Like many plastic parts, it will collect algae if you let your chlorine levels fall too low, but that is not meant to be a knock on this product. But it is easy to remove and clean if that happens. ... show more

  • Works beautifully.
This thing works beautifully. We have a lot of trees around our pool and the skimmer would get clogged frequently. This device collects most of the leaves before they get to the skimmer, making it easier to keep up with the maintenance. Tucked into the wide part of a kidney shaped pool, it's unobtrusive and has been making life easier for several years now. ... show more

  • Fantastic product
I've used one of these for years and am just updating it. It captures nearly all leaves, etc from the surface of the pool, saving you from clearing the skimmer. The net is easy to remove while the pump is running, emptied and back in position to do the job. Great invention and much appreciated. In the northeast with maples, it's a lifesaver. ... show more

  • Works well but be aware of possible pool-specific issues
I am split in my opinion. First, it is well made and easy to assemble. Instructions were clear and everything I needed was included although i can see where some might need a few pieces. And overall it does what it says it will do but with some caveats. It needs a lot of pressure to work really well and as the site says the layout of your pool may affect the results. My pool is a 30x50 in-ground vinyl with returns at both ends in the pre-formed 'Roman' steps and another one very close to the built-in skimmer located mid-way along one wall. We're not the original owners of the home so I'm guessing the return close to the skimmer was installed there for a supply-side cleaner. Not sure. Regardless, for the PoolSkim to work well I have to divert 70-80% of the pressure from the step returns to the return near the skimmer which also raises the return side pressure in my system. Still, it does what it says it will do and has saved me more than a few times having to clean the skimmer. Overall happy with the purchase. ... show more
