SWIMLINE HYDROTOOLS Standard Thru-Wall Above Ground Pool Skimmer Kit With WATER LEVELING SYSTEM | ABS Construction | Large Debris Basket| Snap-In & Removable Weir | Above Ground Pool Skimmer | Skimmer

Super easy to install. Helped a lot during the pool time

Great product and service

I used this on my vinyl above ground pool o just carefully cut out the shape needed after marking it with a sharpie cut it out used a exact knife cut the holes out too little difficult lining up the bolts and I had to cut them off a little because they would tighten all the way I think it’s intended for a thicker sided pool and mines just like canvas thick but I bolted it down going around like a tire and it is great I put a piece of block styro foam between it and the wall so it would sit straight as the sides of my pool are rounded but it’s working fine good quality and product for a very reasonable price thank you

After spending 5 hours trying to get the screws to go all the way in, I do not understand the reviews that say they just "screwed it on" like it was easy. The holes the screws went in on the skimmer were not a match or not threaded. I used so much energy trying to get the screws tight enough to keep our pool from leaking that I was sore a few days after. My husband tried too and the screws did not go in far enough to tighten the plastic square around the gasket to keep it from leaking. We had many screws get stripped before we could get them tightened enough. The other difficult thing was the screws they sent were flat, so trying to screw a flat end through a tight plastic liner was awful. I got so worried I had ruined our pool until my husband suggested we try different screws. He made a trip to the hardware store and got some that were the same thickness, better material, and had points on them. See picture. We replaced all the screws we received and they tightened much better and stopped the leaks. Thank goodness! If the manufacturer of this can improve the screws that come with it, this product would be so much better. The skimmer is great and comes with a lot of attachments and does work. It was a good value too. Just replace the screws if you receive flat ones and you will love this product.

Good quality

I bought this skimmer kit for my Intex 18ftx9ftx52in Ultra XTR Pool Kit. I did not like how this pool had two under water inlets for the filter pump and no surface skimmer intake. I was having to net out a lot of surface debris like bugs and leaves that the under water inlets would not pull in. So I eliminated one of the under water inlets and plumbed that line to this skimmer and there has been a huge improvement. The basket was full of water beetles and leaves/debris within the first couple hours of running. Fairly easy to install, just take your time and double check everything before cutting a fairly large rectangular hole in your pool liner! There are some good youtube installation videos out there that are a big help if you watch first. I am also impressed with the overall quality/build of this kit. Hopefully it holds up in the harsh environment of sunlight and chlorine, time will tell...

I bought at just under $28 so how could I go wrong? Whoops! The price has gone up. I had a similar skimmer on my previous above ground pool, but that skimmer had a smaller mouth. Because of the wider mouth on this one it works better. It narrows inside which causes the water to move faster as it enters the skimmer helping to pull in more floating debris. (My new Kholer toilets unique flush valve uses a similar design to give a fast flush with little water.) Installation was pretty intuitive, but difficult and tedious. Difficult because it took everything my old arthritic hands had to turn those screws. Thankfully, I had followed another reviewers suggestion to screw in then remove all the screws before installation. I had to use a drill to get them in because I just didn’t have the strength to do it. Even after taking this extra step it was still difficult for me to get the screws in by hand during installation resulting in blisters by the time I was done. Should have worn gloves. (The pool was almost full of water in order to have the wall tight and I wasn’t going to stand in the water and use an electric drill. I guess this was one of those rare times when I could have used a battery powered drill.) The tediousness comes in when trying to line up the holes and get the screws to bite - especially the first few. Be sure to get those screws TIGHT in order to avoid leaks. Have some patience here. It’s all worth it when you are done. It’s too bad above ground pools don’t come with such a skimmer. Just having an underwater hole in the side of the pool doesn’t do the job required. Between this skimmer and my Intex robot vacuum, I NEVER have to manually vacuum my pool. I just keep my filters clean. If there were any flaws with the skimmer it would be that the little basket inside is kind of flimsy. It certainly does the job, but it is just kind of light weight and feels kind of brittle. I’ll have to be careful with it. I do highly recommend this skimmer, but suggest waiting for a reasonable price. Unrelated tip for your pool: Add some Dawn dish soap to the water. You will never have any kind of bug living in your pool and wasps/yellow jackets can’t land on the surface of the water. They either give up and fly away or drown and get sucked into the skimmer.

I really never do this but I am today so No One can spend there money on purchasing this wall skimmer. I give this hydrotools wall skimmer A 1 star and that’s because I had to give it something kind of rating but I wish I didn’t have to give it anything because this is the worst wall skimmer ever we installed the skimmer and did everything it asked step by step and it still leaks not only from the wall of the skimmer but also from the adapter that it comes with we even put teflon tape around the adapter it comes with and it still leaks I’m so upset that I even purchased this wall skimmer I wanna return it but dnt know if I can do so do to us installing it and putting silicone around it to see if it would help to STOP the leak but no that didn’t even help!!
