    Sells you chemicals you don't need!!!!!


    No, it's a product that you attach to the return and it super-filters the water. I believe it's very similar to the Dolphin or Aquabot cleaning bags.

    You'll have to GOOGLE it to find it--add swimming pools to your search if you don't want some unrelated and unpleasant (or at least indecent) reponses.

    Too funny

    I did a google search and found a few sites. Will this work with the intex pool system? Could not quite see how it connects, but this is something I would be interested in.

    I'm not so good at giving advice as I usually need advice, but I have the same size pool Intex metal frame. I read on here to put a stocking held in place with a rubber band inside the skimmer. i tried that but it kept floating up, so I put over the outside of the basket that goes in the skimmer. It works. Picks up fine stuff. Have to clean mine at least once a day tho. I use a ladies knee high stocking and if on the outside of basket you don't need a rubber band.

    Thanks. I tried that quickly last night and could not get suction. I think it may have been another issue though. I just drained 1/2 my pool and am now going back with in with the water. Trying to get my CYA down a little and some other things.
