Bestway Wall Mount Surface Skimmer | Cleans Above Ground Pools | Attracts Leaves & Floating Debris

This skimmer has been a life saver for our pool! It did not come with one, so we purchased this one to help keep our pool cleaner. It was very easy to install and the hose it came with was thicker hosing. Not the thin cheap hoses you normally expect. It could be a little bigger, but given the amount of suction from the midsize pump-this is an efficient size. Overall, I highly recommend this skimmer if you do not have a slimmer. It really helps keep your pool so much cleaner!

Year 3 with my pool and can’t believe I’m just now getting this. I have a best way 20’ pool from a big box store. For year 2 I upgraded the filter to a 2800 gph sand filter. I have 2 inlets for the pump and I was able to use the connector from this kit to hook up to one of the grey plastic inlets that came with the pool. I had to remove a Philips head screw to allow the screen to spin off. I keep the water level low so my kid can touch bottom but this was able to reach low enough to perform skimmer function. It’s been doing great with the pump I have, even with that second inlet open. I can restrict the other inlet if I really need a vortex in the skimmer but that doesn’t seem necessary. It connected to the metal rail with no issue.

Needed a skimmer for our above ground pool and this does a reasonably good job. Only complaint is that once hooked up, you can't open up your sand filter. The only way to do this is to either detach the skimmer from the water intake so you can plug the inlet, or remove it from it's mounting position and hold it above the water line. Very inconvenient.

Good

So I have purchased this skimmer a total of 4 times now from Amazon. All from warehouse deals because of the extreme price scalping going on. The retail price for this should be about $25 US. Only one order has been successful to work with my 18' Coleman Pool. The first order was lost in shipping and was eventually refunded. The second one came in and has been doing a great job skimming the pool. Initially it struggled with the stock pump, but after a planned upgrade to the bestway sand filter, it is doing a good job on keeping up with my pool underneath a shade tree. This order included both the Metal Frame Bracket (the one with plastic screws to attach directly to Coleman/Bestway metal frame) AND the blue sidewall screw-on part that the included hose connects to. Please be advised that their are two sizes for this blue part, one that SHOULD come with this bestway skimmer, and another size that comes with the "Bestway 58234 Above Ground Pool Cleaning & Maintenance Accessories Set Kit" These blue male screw-on adapter barbs are designed to fit 1.5" and 1" ID hoses. The Skimmer requires the larger 1.5" barb, which screws onto the gray plastic screen after removing the outer part that is screwed in place (requires removing tiny phillips screw before unscrewing.) My third order of this skimmer (from Amazon Warehouse) arrived a couple days ago, and was missing 2 essential parts. The metal pool frame bracket (The first order correctly included both this metal pool frame bracket with plastic screws *pictured* and one for inflatable pools that just hangs over the side, and will not work with metal frame pools. The other part that was missing was the 1.5" blue screw on male hose adapter that the skimmer hose connects to. Since I already received an order with ALL the included parts, it's easy to tell that these two parts are missing. I wanted to use this as a 2nd functioning skimmer so that I wouldn't need to empty the basket as often. I've put in a 4th order now and hope that it will arrive with all the needed parts. Amazon has done an OK job or refunding the other orders, but be very wary of 3rd party sellers (or scalper prices above $45).

This skimmer is a very simple design, easy to set up, seems to be a good quality product. I added the filter socks to my purchase since I get a fair amount of leaves, tiny gnats and bugs and felt it would be best to keep them out of the sand filter. Well worth the money! Rudy

This is my fault for not trying to return this item last weekend when it originally broke. The clip that allows you to adjust it snapped. I used this for 6 or 7 days, total. On Sunday the 5th, 27 days after it was delivered (June 8th) the adjustment clip snapped. I just assumed that I'd had it more than a month and didn't look into it at the time. I meant to look sooner but kept forgetting. This thing worked moderately well before the adjustment/retainer clip broke. It didn't spend enough time in the sun that someone would reasonably expect a plastic pool item would be weakened. I wouldn't have requested a replacement because I wouldn't trust this product to not break, again. I know that ends my chances of the seller trying to make it right by reading my comment but I don't want anyone to waste their money. Moderate use of this product would be a severe overestimation of how many times I tried to manipulate this product. Cheap plastic and I'm really disappointed.

Kept seeing these skimmers on tik tok. Since we have a Colman pool it fits perfect on the metal rails. Comes with 2 different pool side attachments. Works very well. Very happy with Mt purchase. It helps keep bug from sinking down in the pool so less I have to vacuum it. Read instructions carefully. We had to switch it on the inlet areas of the pool we have 2 inlets to the pump and after we switched it have had no issues and does what it should. Highly recommend.

Conforme à toutes mes attentes.

No funciona como se presenta, no limpia ni filtra. Supone un consumo de luz y depuradora inútil.

Perfetto ma ci va una pompa adeguata, piscina 3x2x66 con pompa a sabbia 3590lh va benissimo

Solo que el soporte no alcanza en bordes muy anchos, un poco más de extensión hubiera estado mejor
