I’m very satisfied with this Intex pool skimmer. For the price, I didn’t expect it to be this effective and well-built — but it truly exceeded my expectations.Installation was easy and straightforward. It connected perfectly to my Intex above-ground pool, and it started working right away. The build quality feels solid, and all parts fit together nicely without any leaks or issues.What I really like is how well it catches leaves, bugs, and debris before they sink to the bottom. The basket is easy to remove and clean, and the adjustable bracket helps keep the skimmer in the right position as the water level changes. After just one day of running, the surface of my pool was noticeably cleaner.This skimmer has already saved me a lot of time and effort — no more manually fishing out floating debris! For anyone with an Intex pool, I highly recommend this skimmer. Great quality, great performance, and a very reasonable price.

I recently got myself a new Intex sand filter for my pool, and to complement it, I added the Intex Deluxe Automatic Skimmer. Here's what I've experienced:Pros:Efficient Cleaning: This skimmer does an excellent job of keeping my pool's surface clean. It efficiently removes leaves, debris, and other floating particles, leaving the water looking pristine.Easy Installation: Setting it up was a breeze. It comes with clear instructions, and attaching it to the pool's sidewall was straightforward.Compatibility: It's designed to work seamlessly with Intex pools and filters, ensuring a hassle-free experience.Cons:Regular Cleaning: Like any skimmer, it requires periodic cleaning of the debris basket. However, this is a minor task and part of regular pool maintenance.Cost: While it's not the cheapest skimmer on the market, the convenience and effectiveness make it a worthwhile investment, especially if you value a clean pool.In summary, the Intex Deluxe Wall-Mounted Automatic Skimmer has been a great addition to my pool maintenance routine. It complements my Intex sand filter perfectly and keeps the pool surface looking clean and inviting. It's one of those investments that contribute to my goal of a comfortable retirement by reducing the time and effort needed for pool maintenance.

I bought an Intex skimmer 3 years ago and was really happy with it, until I wasn't. It suddenly started flying off the rail. No matter how many times I tried it wouldn't stay, so I removed it. I'm in Hawai'i and we've had a really nice spring (but with that comes lots of gnats) so I decided it was time to order another one. Ha! With this pandemic and pools selling like crazy, I was trying for months to purchase one! Finally was able to order from this seller (albeit more expensive than they usually are.) Anyway, this one seems a little larger, the blue on it is a nice turquoise, and it feels a bit heavier = maybe a newer version? Bottom line, I was so hoping it would stay on and yes it did! Been running the pump all day and so far so good = I'm happy again!Some tips:1) I read (of course after I purchased this one) that if you put a small piece of rubber, or foam under the screws before mounting to the pool frame that it'll stay on better.2) If you're using the filter that came with your pool (they're never strong enough) make sure you put the flow restricting plug into your 2nd intake line. If you've upgraded your filter it's not necessary. I have an upgraded pump, but a friend hooked up the old skimmer for me and used it. I was getting air in the pump that I had to release every few hours (good thing I worked from home). With this skimmer I decided to try it without, and it works great! Just make sure it's level in the water.IF you're on the fence about buying this skimmer, trust me it's worth it! Ignore the bad reviews. My pool surface was covered with gnats when I installed the new one today. Within 30 minutes or so, they were all gone.And no, it's not hard to hook up. I'm a senior female and did by myself it in less than 10 minutes.

Very good and very fast

Pool/Filter:I have a 22' x 52" circular Intex pool with an 2100 GPH Intex sand filter. My pool has one outlet and two inlets to the pump.Skimmer Assembly:Assembly is easy and maybe takes a whole 5 minutes. This skimmer requires it to be hook to one of the inlets, then a plug/cover be applied to the other inlet so that there is enough suction for the skimmer to work. Like others have stated, the way it attaches to the frame/structure seems to be a little off. You have to tighten it a lot to keep it from floating, but the plastic on the arm starts to bend, so be careful. As it sits in the sun, it may become lose and start to float, causing it to come up out of the water and not cause the filter to just suck air instead of water.Skimmer Function:The skimmer keeps the top of the pool really clean. However, because it requires you to attach to one inlet and then plug the other, normal filtration for the pool is disrupted. Maybe i need a higher powered filter, so that i can leave the other inlet to be uncovered and have while the skimmer is attached to the other for this to be effective. I am not sure.Final Comments:This product works well, but buyers must keep an eye on it and pay attention to water levels and that the plastic bolts stay tight. Buyers also must watch the filtration in the rest of the pool, as the skimmer does disrupt normal filtration. I usually use the skimmer for a couple days and then disconnect it so the pool can filter normally for two days and then back. It does become slightly inconvenient.
