If I could give it a zero I would. I bought these two skimmers with the pro insert which is a nylon stocking that fits into the skimmer to catch all the fine particles. The product didn’t work in my s... See more

The All-in-One Skim-A-Round in-ground…

The All-in-One Skim-A-Round in-ground pool skimmer basket we bought was easy to install. I cannot visually detect the advertised Bernoulli Effect occuring, possibly because of my present high water level. I can feel it though when I put my hand down into the basket.
UPDATE: I lowered the water level and installed one of the larger 'rings', and that worked to have the Bernoulli Effect occur.

Do not buy

Do not buy. This piece of junk is not worth it. It’s not worth the cost to send it back.

Don't bother.

Don't bother! It's overpriced and does not work any better than other baskets! Not only that, but they have a RIDICULOUS return policy. You have to return it within 72 hours, fully cleaned like new, and you have to pay the postage. If they're not satisfied with how it was returned, you will not get a refund AND YOU have to pay to have it returned to you. I believe they're crooks just trying to make money on false advertisement of their cheap plastic products.

This thing is worthless

This thing is worthless, no better than anything else on the market for allot less money....and the lifetime warranty...a big joke this thing is a piece of plastic...in chlorine water...it gets extremely brittle and cracks and breaks, then claiming on the LIFETIME WARRANTY, when they ship you the NEW one, the shipping was $35 for a piece of plastic that might weigh 12 oz, I could have just purchased a new one...thats how they get you, don't waste your time or money....

The product DOES NOT perform as stated…

The product DOES NOT perform as stated on the website or as shown in videos. Furthermore, the company states that it will accept a return within the trial period for a full refund, BUT when an authorization for refund is approved, it indicates that the Item must be free of scratches, cracks, and stains to pass inspection for a refund. It will be the responsibility of the customer to provide prepaid postage to have the item mailed back to them if inspection for a refund is DENIED. So the company encourages you to use the skimmer within the trial period BUT it has to look new to return it.

Doesn’t work correctly I’m returning it and they’re charging me for shipping because it’s not defective even though it doesn’t work in my pool extremely disappointed in this customer service no phone to talk to anybody have to rely only on emails. Do not purchase a product.

Damaging to my pool filter

Skim a round doesn’t work correctly for my pool; it allows too much air to get sucked in to my filter. I discovered this after 15 days - my pool guy had removed it as a trial period- and the company won’t allow me to return it. Avoid this company , it’s not worth it.

This skimmer does absolutely nothing…

This skimmer does absolutely nothing and trying to get your money back is impossible. Save yourself the headache and pass on this. Also FYI you can't talk to a person no phone number.

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. The basket did not create any velocity in my skimmer, which was fine as they accept returns. However, when I attempted to return it for a refund, the shipping cost was almost as much as the basket itself. The company obviously does not pay for return labels for that reason.I am so disappointed.

Waste of money

Ordered this thing with a 30 day refund trial. Well it basically did absolutely nothing and would not work in my pool or with my dolphin. I submitted for a return and was approved however it’s been a month since I returned it and they will not refund my money.
Save your money and pass on this piece of junk because it literally DOES NOTHING!

These things are pieces of junk

I bought 2 for our pool a month ago and they don’t work worth a damn. The basket separate from the tops and the debris floods into my pump basket. They’re more of a hassle than they’re worth. I tried to return them but, was on day 18 of the limited 15-day return policy so, they told me to pound sand. Absolute junk... I should have read the reviews online before wasting $80.

Wish we could give zero stars

Wish we could give zero stars. Scam company. "F" rating on BBB. Skimmer basket does not fit all in-ground pools as they claim, and they make you pay return shipping to send it back. Report to your credit card company!

Over priced skimmer basket

Don't waste $40. It's no different than any skimmer basket.
And horrible customer service. You only have 10 days to receive this and be able to return it. 10 days. I'm on day 14 from.the date i received it and I can't return it.
Ridiculous customer service.

Customer Service is Non Existent

I placed an order thru an Instgram Ad 3 weeks ago. The item still shows pending pickup by UPS. I emailed the company to cancel the order over a week ago (also wrote them a DM thru Instagram) No response from the company whatsoever, even though it shows they've been online recently. No Customer Service Phone Number. (Order 16794801SAR ) Buyer Beware.

Stay away

Stay away! They don't even care enough to have customer support for their junk! No phone number, no means to resolve any issue except return, which they won't pay for or avoid. Idiots!
