You are welcome! The skimmer socks are great to use all the time. I JUST finally tossed the first one this morning. The elastic was getting too stretched to hold it to the skimmer basket. They are something like 3 for $5 or 5 fo $5 and I've gotten over a month out of one.

Dog hair can clog the pump since it gets past both filter baskets, especially if she's shedding. (My dog when she blows her coat, about every 6 months, there is fur EVERYWHERE, indoors and out---that's a Belgian Tervuren for you!)
