I've recently purchased an Intex Pool Skimmer and I have to say. I love this little contraption. Simple to use and really helps in my case to catch a lot of surface debris. An above ground pool can be tricky to install a surface skimmer, but with this little gadget, no cutting is required. I give a give overview of how it works and attaches before you buy.

I found that running the skimmer along the pool pole and using two zip ties It eliminates having to adjust daily because of the plastic clips being so horrible on the top of the pool. Saves me a lot of headaches everyday. It no longer moves at all and sits perfectly level in the pool at all times.

I bought one for my pool and it cleans great! At first I was skeptical but after I installed it, it cleaned out all the little bugs that were floating on top. And the best thing, no cutting into the liner.

I too was skeptical, but it keeps a lot of debris of the bottom. I'll welcome anything to keep me from vacuuming so much.

I bougt one last year, but I have a small pool, like really small 3 by 2 meters. I never got it to work properly the hoses were pushing it up. I have now bought a skimmer to build into the wall of the pool, and even though that migh seem to be overkill for such a small pool, I have hopes it will be better.

My 9 by 18 intex is on its last leg. My pool came with this skimmer. It works well enough. BUT the curved part will break with normal pool use from the kids. I’m on my 3rd skimmer support.

Yeah I make my oldest take it out when they get in. Otherwise it would be destroyed.

How about if you have a sand pump would you need to block life that second inlet?

You may not have to if your sand pump is running with good pressure. I just got a sand filter and I ran it the other day without plugging the second intake.

Why does my scimmer always comes off the railing i tighten the plastic bolts really tight but go back to my pool after a couple of hours and its came off and just floating

Hmm, have you tried turning it off and then back on again? Just kidding. I haven't had this issue, but if I had to give a guess, maybe check to see if the hose is putting too much upward pressure. I had to work my hose to get it into a good position.

Depending on what pool you have my sure it’s over the “lip” of the rail. I have a 22x52 Coleman. I’m short and have to get in a step stool and push down on it so it stays down into like a locking position. It’ll stay perfectly then.

So you have to have 2 inlets to use this? Did I understand that right?

@Hobbitbuilds 21 күн бұрын

I do believe so.

man thats bigger than i thought, seeing you hold it. and great, you just showed me how much travel it has, which is important for how much water loss i can get. so is that about 8 inches of travel?

@Hobbitbuilds 2 ай бұрын

Alignment is key to this working correctly. There can be a lot of movement of the basket and the wall brace. I typically have the brace fairly deep and then the basket will have room to drop into it as your water levels fluctuate.

@@Hobbitbuilds awesome, how deep will it go though? my girls lose atleast 6 inches of water in a session on a bad day, and i dont want my sand filter burning up if i have the other port blocked off. im afraid it will suck dry. Its good to see you have the brace fairly deep, that makes me feel like this may work without running risk of ruining the pump.

@bt8406 With a sand filter I wonder if you even have to cap the other intake? You do have a lot play, I would think you just keep an eye on it and you would be good.
