This skimmer was very easy to install, even if you’re not super experienced with pool equipment. Everything fit together well, and the instructions were straightforward. Once installed, it does a great job keeping the surface of the pool clean. It consistently pulls in leaves, bugs, and debris, making a noticeable difference in water quality and reducing how often I have to manually skim. Overall, it’s a simple, effective upgrade that works exactly as it should.

The Hayward SP1091LX Dyna-Skim is a total game-changer for keeping my above-ground pool clean! This skimmer is incredibly efficient, and the design is both sturdy and easy to use. It effortlessly removes debris like leaves, bugs, and dirt from the surface of the water, keeping the pool looking crystal clear. What I love most about this skimmer is the automatic operation. Once it's installed, it does all the work—no need to constantly fish out leaves or debris by hand. The Dyna-Skim’s surface skimming is so effective that I can actually see a difference in water clarity after just one use. The build quality is excellent—it's made of durable materials that stand up to the wear and tear of constant use in the pool. The installation process was quick and easy, and it fits perfectly with my existing pool setup. The large debris basket is also a great feature, as it holds plenty of material before needing to be emptied, making maintenance hassle-free. For anyone with an above-ground pool, the Hayward Dyna-Skim is a must-have. It’s a time-saver, and it keeps the pool in pristine condition with minimal effort. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-use, high-quality pool skimmer. It’s worth every penny!

Install was very easy and only took about 20 minutes once water was drained down low enough. Decided to install like others have on YouTube with the gasket on the outside completely so I could cut out pool after it was bolted on. Worked great and no leaks

This has saved me countless hours of work! It helps to keep my water much clearer! I am happy the body of the unit sits outside the pool instead of inside like some other models. I had the inside type before and the kids kept knocking it around. The Hayward is out of the way of their activities. It was easy to install, although a bit scary to cut into my liner! I used it on one pool for a season, then reinstalled it on my newer pool. It’s very sturdy. Seems well made. Never leaks. Looks nice. I do use skimmer socks to catch even smaller particles than the basket alone would do. I just make sure to check it daily and change the sock frequently to maintain free flow. Highly recommend!

Purchased to replace skimmer that cracked, easy install and works great, only thing I'm not a fan of is the swing trap, the old one would not swing into the pool, so it would keep the skimmed leaves in the skimmer basket but this one fully swings in both directions.

Like most reviewer's, I bought this as aftermarket for a "cheapo" framed pool that didn't come with a skimmer basket from factory. Last summer I used a skimmer that clips on over the side of the pool but it was clumsy and when the pump went off things would float back out into the pool. My biggest struggle before ordering was understanding how it would attach to my pump system. No one had provided pictures or sizes, so that's something I've added. Installation was easy! Just be super careful about which direction the in-the-pool side bracket attaches to the basket part- the top and bottom take 3 screws and the sides take 2. Despite paying attention to that detail, I almost messed it up when marking holes. Eek!! I put my pump on an already filled pool. The rubber gasket they send is intended for you to cut a hole first and the gasket slides over (it's 2 sided and attached to itself around the inside of the ring) so I just cut it apart to give myself.2 independent gasket rings. I held the inside bracket to the liner, marker the spots for screws by poking hard enough with a pencil to make a pokey divet in the liner. The screws it comes with are flat tipped, so I got a pointed tip screw from the junk drawer and used it to make a pilot hole before backing it out and using the supplied screw. I was quick on that part each time because I was worried about the water pressure on the hole. I did the whole thing myself, standing outside the pool and using my body to push the basket against the pool while I screwed the pieces together with a handheld screw driver. Once fully attached, I connected my pump hose onto the bottom and then cut the liner out where the hole should be. No hiccups! Now, I thought I had a larger tube that connects from the pool to the pump, so I was sure I could screw it to the "big" hole on the bottom of the basket. My pool is a 16ft round, 4+ft deep. My tube was NOT that big, lol. As shown in picture, that nipple is 2.75" wide. There's an adapter that screws on internally and reduces the tube opening to 1.5". I panicked a second at first because my tube seemed *just* too small to fit over, but I removed the adapter from the basket and used the ground to help me push the tube over and it went! Snug fit, no leaks, no need for a clamp. Then just screwed the adapter back into the bottom. Turned the pump on and it worked beautifully! Tried out the vacuum attachment. The nipple on that is 1.25" and the set up was wonderful. So glad I decided to go this route! (P.S. I just used the caps provide with the pool when I bought it to plug up the original intake holes as they're of no use to me now. Haven't had any leaks or issues.)

Works great on my above ground pool. Was a little nerve racking cutting through the pool liner but it all turned out well. No leaks and send to be a durable product.

We bought this skimmer to replace the WORTHLESS filter/skimmer that came with our 18 ft Summer Waves. Never could get the water to clear up in spite of cleaning the "just as worthless" filter daily and constantly running it. We had a large Heyward sandfilter from our previous Doughboy we had taken down that was not very old when we took that pool down so we started figuring out a way to use it instead. We had thrown away the old Doughboy skimmer and, at the point in the process, we assumed we had to use the Summer Waves skimmer. We found out there was a conversion plate (literally just a plastic saucer) that fits on the bottom of the SW skimmer so you can remove that little motor and bypass it and then use our Heyward motor also. The plate worked without leaking at all but the DB filter and pump was way to powerful for that flimsy skimmer and overwhelmed it so I wasted almost $50 on that plastic conversion plate. We were very apprehensive about replacing the skimmer. After reading reviews, we decided to go for it. I bought the wide mouth version as someone "thought" might be easier to install but had to return it because it was just too wide and heavy and too much liner would need to be cut out. Decided to exchange for this one and it has worked perfectly. Not one problem. Like everyone, the screws are a little difficult to go in because the holes in skimmer box are not threaded but prepare in advance and use a larger screwdriver. I got in the pool and centered the inside bracket over the existing hole. My husband stood on the outside and he could see the outline of it thru the vinyl. He used a small screwdriver to punch holes through the corners which gave us our guide. Then he got in and screwed the plate to the skimmer box while I held it in place and took a box cutter and trimmed any excess liner out which was minimal. A lot of people was nervous about that, as we were, but it wound up being no big deal. Just stay within the DOUBLED vinyl area where the previous skimmer was. We did put a 2x4 under the skimmer for support out of caution as others recommended. We did not use any silicone or caulking on the gaskets. The pool was sparkling clean in two hours. It has been over two weeks and have not had one leak yet. We are beyond satisfied and love it. It came with everything necessary to install, is very sturdy with quality material and was almost $15 less than that conversion plate I'd just bought. Don't waste your time and aggravation over it. Just do it. I'd buy it again! Great product!
