Don't bother! It's overpriced and does not work any better than other baskets! Not only that, but they have a RIDICULOUS return policy. You have to return it within 72 hours, fully cleaned like new, and you have to pay the postage. If they're not satisfied with how it was returned, you will not get a refund AND YOU have to pay to have it returned to you. I believe they're crooks just trying to make money on false advertisement of their cheap plastic products.

This thing is worthless, no better than anything else on the market for allot less money....and the lifetime warranty...a big joke this thing is a piece of plastic...in chlorine water...it gets extremely brittle and cracks and breaks, then claiming on the LIFETIME WARRANTY, when they ship you the NEW one, the shipping was $35 for a piece of plastic that might weigh 12 oz, I could have just purchased a new one...thats how they get you, don't waste your time or money....

The product DOES NOT perform as stated on the website or as shown in videos. Furthermore, the company states that it will accept a return within the trial period for a full refund, BUT when an authorization for refund is approved, it indicates that the Item must be free of scratches, cracks, and stains to pass inspection for a refund. It will be the responsibility of the customer to provide prepaid postage to have the item mailed back to them if inspection for a refund is DENIED. So the company encourages you to use the skimmer within the trial period BUT it has to look new to return it.

Doesn’t work correctly I’m returning it and they’re charging me for shipping because it’s not defective even though it doesn’t work in my pool extremely disappointed in this customer service no phone to talk to anybody have to rely only on emails. Do not purchase a product.

Skim a round doesn’t work correctly for my pool; it allows too much air to get sucked in to my filter. I discovered this after 15 days - my pool guy had removed it as a trial period- and the company won’t allow me to return it. Avoid this company , it’s not worth it.

This skimmer does absolutely nothing and trying to get your money back is impossible. Save yourself the headache and pass on this. Also FYI you can't talk to a person no phone number.

If I could give zero stars I would. The basket did not create any velocity in my skimmer, which was fine as they accept returns. However, when I attempted to return it for a refund, the shipping cost was almost as much as the basket itself. The company obviously does not pay for return labels for that reason.I am so disappointed.
