2.0 Pool Skimmer Basket Turbocharger With Non-corrosive Fittings | Includes Skimmer Sock For Easy Debris Removal | Fits Most Commercial Inground Pool Baskets | Decreases Pool Cleaning Times

The SkimDoctor 2.0 filter works very well in our pool here in Arizona. Firstly, the small business that operates this company 100% stands behind their product and provides kind, excellent support, so directly contact them if you have any questions/problems. Installation was intuitive, quick and easy (I did not need any directions). People pick on the how the SkimDoctor attaches to the basket, but the design is fine considering that it must generically work with any basket. Weekly, I empty the sock that is full of debris that would otherwise be clogging the main filter. I adjusted the tower to create an optimum flow, and it pulls in all debris - my pool is clean. I read reviews from those that rated this low and think many are unfair. I highly recommend this product and company.

Well, I dit it! I decided to buy this gadget, which looks a little dorky, and sounds like it solves major issues with skimmer weakness. I was sure the only thing missing was "As seen on TV", and that it would end up in the bin, along with Ginzu knives that cut through shoes, and glue the ultimate back scratcher.This product installs in about 5 minutes. Pull out your skimmer, attache the black zip tie looking things, screw on the top piece. Done. 5 minutes. Wait about 30 seconds and... what?? It does exactly as it says. It really makes an incredible difference in my pool. I went from skimming the pool every day by hand to not having to skim it at all. Once in a while, I'll skim a corner or so.. but that's it. An amazing difference! This one is an easy win!Pros:Works exactly as advertisedSucks up all the leaves, bugs, and debris on the surface of your poolThe micro-sock thing reveals that it does a much better job than you expected, and that your pool may not have been as clean as you thought before you had this product.Cons:The sock breaks within the first couple of usesCleaning the basket is a little quirky, but not enough for you NOT to buy this. Go get it now!Tip: Make sure your jets are creating a nice 'circular' motion in your pool so all the debris eventually goes to the skimmer.

Yes, It does everything advertised but not as spectacularly as advertised.Yes, It does increase suction power but it doesn't increase flow to the filter or the return lines, as everyone would expect under Bernoulli's principle.Yes, It does pull floating debris from larger distances, and reduces the need of skimming manually with a net.Yes, I was able to reduce pump running time from about 3 hours to 2 hours.Yes, I had problems with the skimmer basket getting dislodged when people swam and yes, Skim doctor adds weight to it and lessens the problem.Yes, It's easier to pull out the basket because you don't have to submerge your hands to take it out, however emptying it is more difficult and rinsing with a hose is almost mandatory.Yes, It is very easy to install, don't overtighten the screw or you will bend the basket's base or even brake it.Why did I gave it 4 stars. Well, I think it's expensive for what it really is, a plastic cylinder (no matter how smart the product is). The other reason is advertising is overoptimistic. Yes, It does everything advertised but not as spectacularly as advertised.

Easy to install and definitely does what it states and really helps increase the skim power at the top of the pool.But it's not what I would call sturdy. The included plastic bolts with rubber stops was a total joke. Really difficult to first install, and once trimmed and setup, its stretched to the point that the basket was just dangling. eventually the rubber stops don't stop or hold anything.We ended up drilling out our basket and getting some 7 inch stainless steel bolts from our local hardware store and with some extra nuts & butterfly nuts at the top we were able to get a much firmer hold with just 2 bolts. the firmer hold also made maintenance a whole lot easier as the sock kind of gets stuck a little when you try and twist it out after it's all dirty.Also, if you using this, get the 50-100 pack of socks. This thing is so good, you will just be throwing away socks every week or so. It's really good at capturing all the junk and the socks get dirty and clogged quick. Easier to just replace the sock than try and clean and re-use. first couple of days we were going through a sock a day.

This baby changed the entire playing field in regards to my pool and it's upkeep! What a great invention! Immediately saw a difference and the power it creates in my skimmer is almost laughable. In a good way. I am amazed at how much more suction power my skimmer now has and the fact that you can adjust how much power should convince everyone to buy this. Combined with a filter sock, this turbo charger has improved my pool cleanliness and ended my skimming by 99%. I run my pool year round and everyday I am amazed that when I walk out to my pool in the morning, there is absolutely nothing on the surface! The turbo charger has completely sucked the debris off the surface! I used to spend my mornings with coffee and a skimmer pole. Hands down this should be a 'must have' for any pool owner! 5*'s and then some! Easy installation and sturdy. Looks and operates like new 1 year into it.
