    I bought one of those flaps several years ago. I can't remember what it was called, but it didn't fit properly in my skimmer and kept falling off. Didn't work for my pool. Maybe someday when I get a new skimmer I'll try it again. If I can find it!

    It's called a Skim-It and it works good for me. Makes quite a difference. Mine recently got broken, and I can really tell that the skimmer doesn't pick up near as much stuff.

    Just wanted to say--I just got one of these. It works well. I also had a problem with a new pool cleaner hose getting pulled into the skimmer opening and starving my pump. The skim-it prevents that.
