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.

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.)

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!

Works really well, makes all the difference in cleaning the pool!

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 many of you, I bought this skimmer to attach it to my Intex pool that did not come with one from the manufacturer. I have an Intex 22'x52" Ultra-Frame pool that I had recently upgraded with an Intex sand filter and pump with salt water ECO system combo from the lousy cartridge filter pump that came with the pool. I searched all through the reviews and questions asked on this product, many YouTube videos, and Google searches to determine the best way to install this skimmer. This Hayward skimmer is very durable and looks great. It comes with a filter-basket, hardware, gasket, and everything needed to install to your pool. A lot of the reviews on here said to cut the butterfly gasket into two pieces, install your skimmer onto your liner, then cut out the liner at the opening of the skimmer. I did the opposite, by taking the skimmer inlet faceplate and tracing around the inside of the inlet and also the screw holes. I then used a punch and poked through the liner where the screws should go. With my water level below the bottom of my inlet outline, I used a box cutter and slowly cut out the liner around my inlet outline I had marked earlier. Now I was able to install the gasket around both sides of my liner like it was intended. I then poked my screws through the inlet faceplate and the gasket and screwed them down tight into the skimmer body. No trimming of the screws was necessary and everything bolted together tight without a single leak. I didn't want to hard plumb the skimmer to my pump, and thanks to my new sand filter pump I had two extra Intex hoses laying around that I wanted to try to use to make the plumbing look as clean and factory as possible. Intex hose end fittings are 40mm and aren't your typical pump fitting size (1 1/2"), so I went to Lowe's and got everything I could find to make this work. I wanted to be able to still use the two inlet ports on the pool as well as the skimmer and I wanted to be able to shut off flow to the skimmer also. To do this I needed a ballcock to install onto the skimmer and a tee fitting to bring the skimmer hose and the original inlet hose together at the pump inlet. I found a 3" long double threaded pipe with 1 1/2" threads that threaded right into the bottom of the skimmer body. I wrapped both ends of the pipe in PTFE tape to minimize leaks, then installed the ballcock (1 1/2" threads as well) onto the pipe. I was able to find some special adapter fittings on Amazon that allows you to attach an Intex 40mm hose onto a 1 1/2" standard fitting. These are made by GAME and come in a pack of two. I bought two packs and installed one of the fittings into the ballcock and attached my extra Intex hose onto this fitting using the supplied gasket. I installed two more of the special adapter fittings onto my 1 1/2" tee fitting and installed the other end of my skimmer hose onto one side of the tee with a gasket, then attached my original inlet hose to the other end of the tee using a gasket as well. Since I didn't have anything to attach two of the Intex 40mm fittings together at the pump inlet and my other end of the tee, I decided to use the slide-on hose fitting that came with the skimmer and attached it to the middle tee fitting. I took a box cutter and cut the end off of one of my extra Intex hoses and jammed it down tight onto the Hayward slide-on fitting and put a nice bead of silicone RTV sealant around the outside and inside edge where the hose end meets up with the Hayward fitting. Let that sit and dry for an hour, then connected my tee with my two new skimmer and original inlet hoses to my sand filter pump. I wrapped several layers of PTFE tape around all threads before connecting any hoses and so far no leaks! Hopefully this will help someone in the future who wants to add one of these nice skimmers to their pools.

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 is an excellent product and highly recommended to replace the over-the-railing basket skimmer that comes with above ground pools. The only issue is the minimal instructions. Must read between the lines and use common sense. The gasket is made like a butterfly gasket that must be intact if you have a double hull pool, or like a vinyl liner with metal or plastic outside support. My Intex pool is just the vinyl liner, so I split the gasket carefully and installed it without draining any water. The water line was half way up the skimmer, but not a drop was spilled installing this. Just wait until all screws are tight to cut the vinyl liner - common sense, make sure the hose is connected first!! Be sure to install the flapper gate BEFORE putting any screws on or starting install. Just a little tricky to hold it in place. 2 people works best, but I installed everything myself with no issues. Must REALLY hold the outside unit TIGHT against the gasket when putting in each of the screws as they cut their own threads. Screw them down tight - the tough plastic will take it. I put in the 4 corner screws in first, starting with top 2 above the water line, and left all just slightly loose until all screws were started. It says to make holes for screws with blunt object - but that won't work as vinyl liner is tough. I used a small drill bit, much smaller than screw, but used pliers instead of getting my drill wet. Just held bit in the pliers and pushed and twisted. The first couple is when 2 people really helps, but even alone I did it easily. Then tightened them all down. The adapter to attach a vacuum hose comes with and works great. I didn't think it would seal well as it is just plastic to plastic, not rubber gasket, but works fine - the suction holds it firmly in place. A little tricky - put adapter on first without the hose, moving it around the flapper, then connect the hose. Make sure vacuum is in the water so it doesn't suck air. The parts of this unit are very heavy plastic. Nothing flimsy. Flow-through rate increased, as I can tell by the higher pressure and flow coming out the exit valve. A new one comes with this, but I didn't install, just used the old one. I will get a ball valve shut-off at Lowe's or Home Depot to install where hose connects. Good for doing any hose work or working on pump or filter. This is really a bargain.
