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 dont typically review a product so quickly - it came a few hours ago and I am impressed!I purchased an Intex Ultraframe 16x48 pool about a month ago. Since then I have converted it to salt and also purchased a cleaning kit and light. It has been a great pool, but I didnt like keeping the surface clean all the time and the nets dont get it all because many of the particles are very tiny.I figured given the low cost of this skimmer I would give it a try. I went outside and within 5 minutes it was skimming away. I stood there in amazement for another 10 minutes as it instantly started pulling off bugs, leaf parts, and that little shiny sludge stuff that can sit on the top. Within that 10 minutes I noticed a significant difference in the appearance of the pool.I had a couple of concerns:1- Would it reduce my pump flow? I have a 1500 GPH pump and it does not appear it has significantly impacted flow.2- Some folks said it didnt fit well on an ultraframe pool. Well the bracket appears specifically made for an Ultraframe as it fit the bar perfectly and I dont believe it will come off as others have experienced. Maybe they redesigned the bracket?3- Kids breaking it. I still have this concern, they like to play a lot! But given the price point, if I had to put a new one in every year it would still be worth it to me.4- What if my water got low, would it suck air and trash the pump? Nope - it has a pretty ingenious design and you would have to have a major issue for the water level to get too low.Time will tell, but I expect to be very happy with the results of this product.

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.

Worked very well and because of the trees I have will be adding a second one next summer
