Weighing only 1.81 kg and made from durable nylon, it is compatible with most pools and helps reduce the workload on your filtration system. ## Description The award-winning PoolSkim uses the power of the water returning to the pool to create a venturi suction that draws all floating debris like a magnet and is collected in a sturdy nylon mesh clip-on bag. REQUIREMENTS: The PoolSkim does not connect to the pump filter! The PoolSkim attaches to one of the return jets on the side of the pool -- where water flows back into the pool. Male and female adapters are included for a standard 1-1/2 inch threaded pool return fitting. CHECK YOUR POOL RETURNS FOR THREADED RETURN FITTINGS BEFOR ORDERING. Note: If your pool has a different type of return fitting then an additional adapter, purchased separately, will be necessary. This includes Intex brand pools. Poolskim USA is the manufacturers source for installation videos and technical support. Review: I purchased the PoolSkim 2 years ago form desertcart. I have to say it was one of the best $100 bucks I have ever spent!!!! In this day and age of poor quality and false advertising, it is wonderful to find a product that actually performs well and does what it is supposed to do. It has far exceeded my expectations. It attaches to the return on your pool and creates a vortex on the surface of the water that sucks all the surface debris (bugs, leaves, seed pods, etc.) into the attached mesh bag. You simply empty and rinse the bag when it gets full. I have a 27" round pool and I only have to empty the bag about 1 per week, sometimes twice per week in the spring and fall when there are extra leaves and seed pods. It doesn't require any electricity or any sort of attachment to the filter itself. With the PoolSkim, you will never have to manually skim your pool with a net ever again. It works so well that you will be able to vacuum less since it sucks up all the surface garbage before it can sink to the bottom of the pool. It also saves your filter from getting dirty and you will clean your filter less frequently. This past season I only had to vacuum my pool @ every 10 days and even then it wasn't very dirty. I only cleaned my DE filter once during the season and once at closing. The Pool Skim saves you so much work and makes pool maintenance a breeze. I had no trouble installing it. I only had to make one cut in the PVC pipe to get it to fit properly on my return. The entire installation only took me about 30 minutes. I have an above ground pool where the return is fairly close to the surface so that may be why it was an easy installation for me. I know some reviewers said they had difficult time installing it but believe me, once you finally get it installed, it will definitely be worth the effort. I highly recommend the PoolSkim to every pool owner. You will never regret it. You will be so glad that the PoolSkim is now cleaning your pool instead of you. Review: Was sick of spending quite a bit of time skimming prior to each pool use. Was actually looking for a surface skimming automatic robot (selection appears limited and they appear to be pricey) when I stumbled upon this. Price seemed fair, reviews seemed good, and figured I could send back if didn't work. It works exactly as shown. Creates a little whirlpool that all the floating debris goes into. Most debris are gone w/in 10 minutes and everything (or close to it) is gone within a hour. This thing will save me HOURS every summer. Not hard to install but not a cake walk either, takes a little bit of basic DIY skill. Configuration depends on how low below the water line your jet/return is and also what type of vacuum you have. The installation video on their site is confusing in my opinion, however, I found one YouTube from the manufacturer which made more sense to me. You have 2x 90 degree elbows, 1 45 degree elbow, and a 1ish foot piece of PVC pipe. You may need only 1 90, or only 1 45, or 2 90s + pipe, or 1 90 + pipe + 1 45...may need to angle the pipe upwards, downwards, or somewhere in between, may also need cut the pipe. The water pressure was causing the unit to move at the return threading so it took a little plumber's tape and a pipe wrench to get it snug. The screws need to be really tight as well (probably not a terrible idea to use pvc glue instead of the screws once you are confident with your configuration). Seems pretty sturdy, ridiculously easy to empty the debris bag, works as it should, and eliminates (or almost eliminates) the need to manually skim. If you're tired of manually skimming then this is an absolute must have. ## Features - Award-Winning Automatic Pool Skimmer - Connects to the return located where water flows back into the pool creating a ventui that draws in floating debris into easy to clean bag. - Compatible with pools that have a 1-1/2 inch Threaded Return Fitting.

In my case, an inground 17x35, there was no accounting for prevailing winds on our site and the built-in skimmer was placed at the upwind end, while the prevailing winds blow all the debris to the opposite end rendering the skimmer almost useless. Fortunately there's a return at the downwind end and that's where this Pool Skim goes, and works very well. Only wish it came with a bigger bag (our pool has Silver Maples at each end). **Q: What if my return isn't threaded? Is there some kind of adapter I can use?** A: go to this link for poolskim and at the bottom you will need to purchase either the 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch adapter depending on your return size. It was worth every penny no more floating leaves in my pool http://www.poolskimusa.com/install.htm **Q: I have a noseum issue ans use a silt skimmer; noseums pass through regular mesh. Will this product trap and contain noseums?** A: Customers tips on when you are having issues with tiny particles in your pool that may go though the mesh bag is to use an inexpensive nylon knee high stocking with the bag. **Q: Will it break off if there are waves from people jumping in the pool?** A: Nope....we always have ours in the pool. The only thing that might happen is the inner ring (the part that slides up and down to adjust to water depth) may come out but that takes 2 seconds to put back in no tools to anything. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***E on 6 October 2013* I purchased the PoolSkim 2 years ago form Amazon.

We've had ours now for a year and a half, and it's held up just fine. It takes a lot of the workload off of the built-in skimmer and basket. Easy to clean. VERY tough net for the leaves. It outputs good flow for pool circulation. I'm considering another one for one of the other jets. When we get a wind, there's plenty of debris to skim off. ## Frequently Bought Together - PoolSkim Pool Skimmer and Pool Cleaner - 10-Pack of Pool Skimmer Socks Reusable - Excellent Savers for Filters, Baskets, and Skimmers - The Ideal Sock/Net/Saver to Protect Your Inground or Above Ground Pool, Debris Leaves Catcher - EASYTEST 7-Way Pool Test Strips, 150 Strips Water Chemical Testing for Hot tub and Spa, Accurate Test Bromine, Total Alkalinity, pH, Free Chlorine, Total Hardness, Cyanuric Acid, and Total Chlorine --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/539582703-poolskim-pool-skimmer-and-pool-cleaner](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/539582703-poolskim-pool-skimmer-and-pool-cleaner) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
