The deluxe kit works well with the Intex Easy Set or Bestway Fast Set pools, which have the inflatable rings at the top. The skimmer comes with a bracket, which fits those type pools, AND a bracket, which works with frame pools. (Read description to make sure both brackets are included in set you purchase.) Also make sure your filter pump handles at least 800 gph. Suggestions for best performance: 🔹1. Unless you are using a powerful filter, use the plug, which comes with the kit, to put INSIDE the second strainer cap/cover. The plug PURPOSELY has a hole in it, so it slows down the suction on that strainer, but increases the suction on the skimmer! (The same plug is used, if you connect a vacuum to the pool.) 🔹2. Because high temperatures can cause the inflated ring to lose air, be careful! You don’t want your entire skimmer to slip to a slanted position, which will cause the skimmer to suction air into your filter!! ▪️I discovered, if I tie the skimmer bar, where the nut is, that adjusts the height, to the strainer base, which goes through pool wall to attach to hose, it keeps the skimmer from flipping up, if the pool is left unattended. You can still change the height of skimmer, depending on water depth. I have used a “horse knot” but a regular, tight knot works fine. I wouldn’t trust a bow; the suction could untie it!! Make sure ends of tie are short enough, so they aren’t flowing into skimmer. ▪️📍This year, I just used a small, ball-bungee cord to tie it down. Super easy! ▪️Also, make sure the bracket is fastened pretty tightly—not so tight it could hurt the ring, but secure enough, that it’s difficult to turn it on the ring. Remember…, the inflatable ring will lose air, at times, so if the bracket isn’t tight enough, the entire skimmer could tilt up, when you aren’t looking, if it isn’t tied down, and air will be suctioned into your filter!!! If it’s tied down well, and bracket is snug, you shouldn’t have problems! (I haven’t had it tilt, since I began tying it down!! Yay!!) 🔹3. The Blue case, which has the basket inside, MUST FLOAT a little above the white outer casing! I would suggest allowing 1-2” between blue top edge and white casing. Water will flow inside white casing a little, which also filters water. When the blue part floats freely, the water is suctioned over the top, pulling debris on top of the water into basket. (You will notice leaves and bugs gradually moving toward the skimmer and then flowing over the top. Once inside, they can’t get back out,…as long as pump is on. 🔹4. BEFORE TURNING OFF THE FILTER, grab the handle of basket and pull it and the blue casing COMPLETELY out of the main, white casing of skimmer and out of the pool to dump debris on the ground. Then, you can turn off filter, replacing the clean basket/blue casing back into position. If you turn the filter off first…., the debris in the basket, especially bugs, will flow back into the pool! 🤦🏼♀️ (Sometimes, we learn the hard way! 😂) 🔹5. Keep chemicals/pool water balanced. I mainly use chlorine, stabilizer, and algaecide. Baking soda can be used to raise ph and alkalinity, if needed, which will improve clarity and stability. Run filter a few hours/day. I use shock (generally liquid) and algaecide, if I will be gone a few days (leaving filter off). I haven’t had to drain the pool or had any problems flats year or this year. (I bought the skimmer last year!!! Makes a difference!!) I don’t cover the pool anymore, either, since I have the skimmer. 🔹6. The handle on my basket broke during the second year of use. However, it still works great. Recently, I attached a strong cord, so I could have a handle for my basket again. (You can buy baskets on Amazon. Just make sure you get the right size.) My basket has worked for 2 years, and I only had the handle break. ♦️NOTE: This year, we purchased a sand filter, which was made for these pools, and I have been AMAZED how much easier it has been to keep the pool water clean, clear, and balanced! I run the filter a few hours a day (skimmer still attached, of course) and test the water 1-2 times/week, as long as it’s balanced. I keep chlorine tablets in a floater at all times, but I don’t use NEAR the amount of chemicals with the sand filter, as I did with the cartridge filter!!! Watch for sales, which is what we did. The Bestway cartridge filter worked well on our 18’ pool, but the sand filter paid for itself, since I haven’t had to use and purchase as many chemicals!!! ✏️ We live in the country (farm land and ranch area with a dirt/gravel road), so the skimmer has been amazing for us!! It skims leaves, bugs, grass, etc, into the basket, keeping our pool MUCH cleaner, since they don’t sink to the bottom. You might wonder, at first, if it’s really working, but watch as items make their way towards the skimmer! When you clean the skimmer, you will see how much debris it captured, especially, if you live in an area, where bugs and leaves are constantly getting in the pool!! I realized that I have only had to vacuum the pool after big wind/dirt or rain storms. (It has been extremely dry here!). Of course, if I have been gone a few days, which means the pump and skimmer weren’t turned on, I will need to vacuum the pool and run the filter/skimmer, before swimming. I used the skimmer on a bestway fast set, 18’ pool last year and an intex easy set, 15’ this year--using the SAME skimmer! I won’t have another pool without a skimmer!!

I’ve only had this skimmer for a few days, but honestly I already love it and wish I had bought it sooner. I use it with my Intex 18’ x 9’ x 52” Ultra XTR above ground pool and an Intex Krystal Clear SX1500 sand filter pump setup. Installation was very straight forward. I assembled the skimmer itself inside in my AC, then outside all I had to do was connect the hose to the pool’s inlet and adjust the bracket to fit the frame. The entire setup process only took me around 10 minutes. I did have to adjust the height slightly to make sure the floating blue ring sat correctly and created a proper funnel into the basket. I also ended up plugging one of my inlets with the included plug because performance was noticeably better that way with my setup. The biggest reason I bought this wasn’t because I hated manually skimming the pool. Honestly I didn’t really mind doing it myself. The problem was my kids want to jump into the pool immediately every morning and would absolutely lose their minds over every floating leaf, twig, bug, or anything that remotely looked like a bug. Now I walk outside in the morning, pull the basket out, rinse it with the hose in seconds, and the pool surface is basically already cleaned for them. Before getting this manually skimming the pool surface usually took me at least 15 minutes every morning. This has honestly been more of a quality of life upgrade than I expected and has made pool mornings much smoother for everyone. Pros: Easy to install Works well with my Intex Ultra XTR and sand filter setup Makes daily pool cleanup much faster Basket is quick and easy to rinse out Surface debris is collected overnight automatically Kids can jump into a cleaner pool immediately Cons: May require adjusting the height for proper floating/skimming Performance on my setup improved after plugging one inlet

I am not compensated by anyone to write my review... This is nice when it's working. My pool has two vacuum ports, and this takes one of them...It's isn't providing much suction so, it's not the best. However, when it is working, it's nice to have. First, I must say I have a 9' x 18' x 52' Intex pool. It has two suction inlets. Also, just as a top item. I wish the assembly could better seal so the only way to suck in water was over the blue ring. The following is a description of that failing to work correctly. In order to get this to work properly, you must restrict the flow of the other. I have found a custom made plug, much like the gray one contained in it (only with a few extra holes from leather punch) works best. HOWEVER, you cannot leave your pool this way, as you will not get proper filtration and will have crap build up at the bottom. I usually take it off restrictor either each night, or when I think about it and let the pump run normally for a while with no skimmer attached. You could also just remove the skimmer hose, but it is a giant pain to grab again from outside the pool. It also helps to have this "skimmer" in the back corner. I thought the middle would work initially but it didn't seem to work as well as the back edge. I am afraid I might be disturbing the proper circulation though. One MAJOR problem, air in the lines as others have stated. ADDITIONALLY, periodically, the suction will no longer pull the basket down and activate the (blue) float ring to dip letting water flow over it. So instead it basically pulls water in from under the upper lip, or from the very bottom defeating the purpose of the skimmer. I really don't care for this design, but with some constant TLC, it will clear the leaves and bugs, etc. from your pool. My pool is next to an oak tree on one side, and a cherry tree on the other (holy moly, lots of cleaning). Essentially, I have to use whatever I can get to automate the surface. I also have to frequently vacuum, but it is worse when the skimmer isn't working. Today, I clean an nights worth of wind blow debris in about an hour (without manual skimming), but I did have to keep resetting the skimmer, and emptying the basket about every 20 minutes. This bring out another point that many have made. A good wave or wind, maybe a large bee are all good culprits and blowing the debris in the blue ring all over the pool. One method I use, take hand leaf skimmer (the oval looking one) and depress the blue ring while skimming the top bit of debris. That cleans a lot of it without much manipulation. Depending on quick/accurate I am, it usually fairs well. For the other times, it takes a bit to catch all the stuff I just dumped back into the pool. The mounting arm is pretty flimsy, and quite annoying. However, keep in mind it is adjustable for a purpose. If you have the arm too high, the basket will be very close to the top ring and might create to much suction, which will eventually cause it to stop functioning. If however, it is too low, the suction will not be strong enough to keep the blue ring below the water (ie situation described above where the water is sucked in below the blue ring), eventually causing it to fail. It takes a balance, and a lot of attention. I have taken to ,moving mine so it is angled forcing the front of the blue ring to always be slightly in the water (skimmer moved towards side of pool). The at least delays the suction issue where the blue ring won't dip below the water. Not great, but we do what we can. Skimmer socks (smaller cloth based filters that fit over the basket, inside the blue ring) will work great for a short while, but then get filled up with junk and blocks the port. It also makes it harder for a weak pump. I've tried them on the inside around just the basket, I've tried them around the entire assembly, which works for a bit. Ultimately, I think I might have figured out a way to keep them working, but alas, pull them off each time. The crap off Oak Trees can pass right through some of these wide filters, and reduce the suction on your pump. If you have a filter style, stop and clean it. One time mine was nearly clogged in under ten minutes (is in, I just replaced the filter with a new one, started the pump, 10 minutes later I had to pull it out and rinse it off again). I've also had the sand one need a backwash after a short time for similar reasons. Another note as some have stated. The blue plastic connector port for the side of the inlet WILL NOT work directly with a vacuum hose. That was an older connector design (probably around 2014 or earlier) that allowed a vacuum hose to be inserted in to the connector. Now that same area is covered by a plastic grate to prevent large debris. Apparently as others have said, the only way to get the correct attachment is the cleaning kit. I've just ordered one, so I'll review it once I have it. All in all, it's definitely a good thing to have, but it IS NOT set and forget. Sometimes it works great for a week, sometimes I have to screw with it every 10 minutes. Most of it has to do with the conditions it's operating in.

My granddaughter is very squeamish about bugs and "icky stuff" floating on the pool, we were spending a large amount of time every day using a hand net to remove bugs and "icky stuff" before during and after her swim. The skimmer is cleverly designed and does an excellent job skimming the pool, it actually works better than my previous pools built in skimmer did before I set up the replacement Intex pool. Within a few hours the pool surface was, as the name says crystal clear. Also the filter basket is very large and holds a large amount of debree that never makes it to your pool filter, helping to save cost on cartridges (if you are using them) Its not really clear from the description but it comes with all of the brackets needed to use with a Intex straight wall pool or an easy set pool (the kind with the air ring) I have an easy set pool with the air ring at the top of the pool. The skimmer went together in a few min and I selected the air ring bracket. It connects very easily with the pool. It comes with a threaded adapter that screws over the intake vent on the pool, then you connect the small hose supplied from the skimmer to the intake vent adapter. This simple skimmer works great after you play with it and get it going, heres my story about that; I'm using my skimmer with a 1 1/2 hp Hayward hi flow pump and a Triton hi flow sand filter (left over from my previous 24 ft above ground pool), the pump is very powerful. The strange thing was that the skimmer would sit perfectly flush with the top of the water and as soon as I turned the pump on... it would rise out of the water and the pump would start sucking air. (I think the suction on the hose to the skimmer was somehow pushing the skimmer housing out of the water) I tried tightening the clamp on the air ring, I made brackets to connect to the air ring clamp on the out side of the pool to keep the skimmer from rising and all of my attempts would fail after a few hours or days of use. I finally figured out what to do. 1) The first thing I did was lower the skimmer basket housing (the light blue or in my case white piece) from flush with the surface of the water to 3" or so below the surface. (The skimmer assembly (the dark blue part) floats inside the housing, and can rise or fall with the water by around 4 - 6". ) 2) The second thing I did was to budgie cord the skimmer basket and bracket assembly inside the pool to the hose right where it connects to the pool return vent # 1 has the basket assembly well below the surface so the skimmer can float up and down with the waves etc and doesn't suck in air. #2 prevents the skimmer basket housing from twisting or rising out of the water when the kids are playing. Done desperately I still had problems... done together and no more issues. Even with my powerful pump the skimmer works well. Note: On the bottom of the skimmer basket housing there is a open intake vent... I assume if the filter basket gets totally clogged the vent still allows water into the intake so the pump it isn't starved. There are also some rubber flaps that look like they may open or close to allow more water to by pass the skimmer depending on the amount of suction. I'm not sure but as an eng i know they wouldn't have put that in place unless they felt it served a purpose. Anyway I am very impressed with this little device, its been a week of continuous use now and no problems

In theory this is very easy to install – just connect some pieces, hang the tub an inch below the surface of the water, connect the hose to one inlet, toss the basket and blue-colored floating cover in, and place the flow reducer under the cover of the other inlet. Once together, you can see it draw lots of leaves and bugs into it, undoubtable helping keep the pool cleaner. For the price it’s a must-have addition! We even enjoy watching this work, mesmerized by debris swirling and eventually being drawn in. But sometimes things don’t work as well in theory as in practice, which is why I had to remove some stars. For starters, the clamp that attaches to the frame of the pool is ever slightly too small for the frame of our 20’ Bestway pool (which I understand to have been manufactured by Intex). That causes it to frequently come off and so I will modify it by sanding down the ridges on the inside of the clamp. The other problem is that the tub and hose are too buoyant (even before I dumped salt into our pool), causing the entire thing to want to pivot into a horizontal alignment. It has to stay very vertical in order for the floating cover to work correctly. So I bought large stainless steel washers from the hardware store to plunk into the tub and try to ballast it. These flaws aren’t deal breakers, but they should have been foreseen and corrected by the manufacturer.

My Intex easy set pool came with a cover, but no skimmer. Keeping the cover on keeps the pool nice and clean and keeps most insects out, but it's a hassle removing it to swim and then putting it back on when I'm done. Dirt ant debris would collect on top of the cover. The cover would sink into the water when I was trying to remove it so all that debris would end up in the pool when I removed it. I was often too lazy to put the cover back on which resulted in my pool being filthy all the time, full of dead bugs and making it a convenient place for wasp to land and pick up water for their nest building. Wasps aren't very happy when you pop out of the water under them and they take painful revenge. (Put some Mrs. Stewart's Bluing on a wasp sting to kill the pain. Yes, that stuff you put in the rinse cycle of your washing machine to make your whites brighter.) Due to not using the cover, I was constantly vacuuming the pool. Especially each time I wanted to go for a swim. This season I purchased this skimmer. I don't use the cover at all anymore. The amount of dirt, debris and dead bugs in my pool has been drastically reduced. Yes, there is more debris than with using the cover, but the lessor amount of debris is more than acceptable and worth not hassling with the cover. I'm so happy with this skimmer. It did sit a little cockeyed at first, but I just twisted the hose a bit to get it to sit correctly. The hose is bent from being packed in the box so twisting it around will adjust the tilt of the skimmer. Of course, it won't stop the wasps from landing on the waters surface, but I stumbled upon another fix for that. I had a big problem with water bugs. The pool would be crystal clear yet these guys would continue to inhabit my pool. They zero in on you and bite. Not fun. I went down to the local pool store to purchase some liquid chlorine thinking I could put a big dose in the pool and kill them all. No go. They didn't carry it. Said it was too expensive to ship due to being a corrosive. They did, however, tell me how to rid my pool of the water bugs. Just dump some Dawn dish detergent in the water. It coats the bugs, they can't breath and they die. It's got to be Dawn and not some budget soap. I have a 15 foot pool and dump about a third of a big jug into the water every week. I just dump it into the skimmer so it will quickly spread throughout the pool. I discovered the additional benefit of Dawn being that the wasps are unable to land on the surface of the water due to the Dawn breaking up the surface tension. They either try and unsuccessfully land and give up and fly away or they try and land, get stuck in the water and are eventually drawn into the skimmer. The Dawn will suds a little, but there is not enough to bother you when you swim and it doesn't hurt your eyes. Intex can keep their cover. They should include this skimmer with the pool. Your pool does need to be properly filled. Too little water and the skimmer will tip away from the pool wall and not work correctly. Too much water and the top portion of the skimmer will float away. The combination of this skimmer and Dawn dish soap have made me a happy camper.

I bought this to go with my pink and text pool my 10x30 even though it's a little large I don't care I wanted a skimmer without doing the hack of cutting my liner and I must say it works great you must follow the directions and you must hang it right and for it to float you need to follow the directions or it will not work if you do follow the directions and close off one of your inlets and use the reducer valve it comes with it will work perfect but you must have a pump that's stronger than 800 gph and I would say stronger than that by far I will put that in as a note because I did try it with a thousand GPH pump and it didn't really work that well now when I tried it with my new pump which is a 2500 GPH it works amazing so I just wanted to share that otherwise I really do believe it's a good product.

I have a Coleman 16ft by 10ft pool and I was desperately looking for a skimmer that wasn’t expensive. I came across this one for a nice price and decided to try it out. Now, for reference my pool filter has 3 connectors. Two for water intake, and one for output. When I first hooked it up it didn’t work and I was frustrated because I couldn’t figure out why. Come to find out, the intake connector it was hooked to just needed more suction. It comes with this rubber flow reducer I believe it’s called that I put inside of the 2nd intake connector to reduce the flow into that one and increase it in the one the skimmer was hooked to. After that it has worked like a charm. My pool was clean of all floating debris within 20 mins. I just figured I would share that detail because it doesn’t go into detail in the instructions what the flow reducer is for or how to use it and as a first time pool owner I had to YouTube it to figure it out so hopefully this helps someone else who has a filter like mine. Other than that it was super easy to set up. All in all I’m really happy with it.
