Skimmer Scooper Basket Leaf Rake

The skimmer pro is a bit larger than an aquarium fish net. It works great to get the small seed pods from the trees out of the skimmer basket. The actual net is not real robust, and may not last over the long term, but it meets my requirements.

This product is so tiny that it belongs in a doll house. It can’t scoop leaves, as they do not fit in the net. It’s more like a goldfish net made for a child. The mesh netting is so weak and the skimmer is so poorly manufactured that the net started tearing and separating from the pole after just a few uses, and I was skimming water from a small kiddie pool. This just be a joke.

Nice well made net for small pool. Handle and rim will probably out last net.

I purchased this a few months ago to help get some of the small stuff that gets in the skimmer basket area. I don't like to get down on my hands and knees to scoop out the trap, so I thought this would help. The pole shaft should be longer, and the basket hook at the end popped off after a few uses. The netting is also pretty thin and is showing signs of wear. I won't buy a replacement when this one wears out.

We use this to get the tiny leaves out of the hot tub. Works great for that!

I think the size and length work perfect for my skimmer baskets. Picks up leaves and other junk fine. So far it seems durable, no rips or tears. Keeps me from having to shove hand into the unknown abyss of a skimmer basket.

Perhaps it's my fault for not checking the dimensions, but it's a little too-generous (to the point of being disingenuous) to call this thing a pool skimmer. It's more like the most heavy-duty fish tank skimmer/scooper you've ever seen. It seems durable as far as the body goes, but the net itself started loosening and sometimes slides down its frame so the net closes up.

I bought this scooper to replace an old scooper that got a hole in the basket. The old scooper was made of plastic and worked well with most debris, but small debris slid through the basket. This new skimmer scooper has a fine net that quickly picks up all debris that floats in the skimmers. My only complaint is that it has a short handle. Ideally, it would be about 30-36" long so that you don't have to stoop so low. Otherwise, I recommend this product.
