Heavy Duty Leaf Skimmer,
Date:August 3, 2009
By SummerSwimFan
from Sand Springs, OK
from Sand Springs, OK
Pros: Very Sturdy
Cons: None so far
"I just bought this heavy duty leaf skimmer. It is much more substantial than the cheapy one I received when I bought my pool. I have to remove lots of leaves during spring pool opening and this one looks like it will hold up well. I love ordering from InTheSwim. I always get the order so fast, it's amazing!"

Pros: Sturdy/inexpensive
Cons: none
"I purchased this item after many failed plastic models. This item is great. It takes me less time to skim the pool and the mesh is fine enough to get the pine needles out."

Strong & Tough Skimmer,

from West Michigan
Pros: Strong, Tough, Pro Quality Skimmer
Cons: None
"I bought the Pro Quality Leaf Rake and Skimmer after the department store brands ripped due to the leafs we get here in West Michigan. After 2 years of use, there's no sign of any rips or weakness in the skimmer or leaf rake. I will definitely purchase again when I need another one."

Much better than my previous,
Date:November 26, 2008
By dslowik
Pros: Strong with fairly deep sides
Cons: Mesh holes are smaller so water takes a bit of time to drain off
"I purchased this net after my original broke. This one has a much wider side that enables me to pick up more leaves out of the pool with out them falling off. However the mesh has much smaller holes in it so it can get quite heavy when lifting it since it is holding more water. I have started lifting it out of the water slower than my previous to allow the water to drain. Even with a bunch of leaves and the water on it, it doesn't flex at all. This is much better than my original net that it replaced."

Never Again!,
Date:November 26, 2008
By swimski
from Downey, CA
from Downey, CA
Pros: Cheap, excellent delivery
Cons: Cheap
"I thought this skimmer was too good to be true. I don't even know if this net lasted a month and it's winter, so it's not like I'm using it all that much. The metal (copper colored) tube that attaches to the stem of the netting housing cracked, but before that a screw came out of (and obviously lost, so I could not rescrew it) the net frame. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - my $60 net was actually less exprensive, because at least it lasted a few years!"

Lightweight isn't always better!,
Date:August 22, 2007
By NJ63
Pros: durable screen
Cons: flimsy metal frame
"My skimmer lost the side screw after only a week. It is rather flimsy but the screen seems durable. My last one lasted through 3 seasons and this one will barely make it through one. Next year I will pay a little extra for the durable one!"
