Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money. Parts don't fit together well and basket kept coming apart. Didn't produce a vortex as it says because it wouldn't stay together for very long. Buy a one piece better quality basket.

Completely impossible to get a hold of anyone at the company if you have a problem with the product. Completely unacceptable customer service. I'm about 10 seconds from driving to South Florida and knocking on their door.

The product did what it said it would do which is why I gave it two stars. The problem for me was that the Skim-a-round was too tall to allow for the float valve underneath it. The float valve is critical to the safety of your filter system so I removed the Skim-a-round and went back to the standard basket - which works just fine.

This is a piece of crap! Dont buy its a scam! Doesn't increase flow falls apart.You have to pull apart to clean it! They will not let you return it.Worst product on market!
By Jeff
This product had no chance of working - it could not even hold itself together to be placed in the skimmer box. Reviewed the online videos to see if I missed something. Nope. Then found out I was past the return window, so I glued it together.....no increase in flow. It seems like a SCAM - don't waste your money.

This is a great product. It really sped up the water flow into the skimmer. It was very easy to install.

The only way to get the swirling effect they advertise is to have the water level low in your pool (25-30% up your skimmer intake). But, that is not good for your pump. They deleted my review and blocked me! Don’t waste your money.

This product does not work. The material is thin and cheap. Return policy is a joke, Do not buy this product
