Are all skimmers the same?

[jenpen400]

Is the basket snug or does it have a little bit of play in it? I wonder what I could cover the back of the wier with to make it smooth?

Thanks again!

The basket is fairly snug when it's locked, you just rotate it around to lock it position. Not sure if you could put something on the back of the weir, I'm guessing you probably would not need to with this model. If you likew, I can email you some pics of it.

Thanks, skimmer socks are similar to ladies stockings. Do you think they would fit ? a picture of the basket might help. I just need to keep these little wasps from cloging up the basket. Thanks sooooooooooo much.

Jenpen400,

I can tell you without a doubt that the skimmer socks will fit fine on this skimmer basket. I bought a package today to try out, since I have been having problems with vacuuming sand that is clogging my impeller in my pump. I put one on and vacuumed as usual and man, what a difference. The sock had about a fistful of sand in it that it had stopped from being sucked into the pump.

Thanks again, the socks do catch alot of fine stuff now I have to order one and talk hubby into installing it. Think I'll place a cooler of beer behind the pool with the skimmer on it.

Leave the cooler out with the beer and I will be there
