anyone have any experience with the Skim Shark?

gwrace1,

Did the poolskim cause your system pressure to go up? Where did you order yours from? Thanks for the review.

I have not noticed any pressure increase. The return flow is probably less restricted as you remove the directional eyelet that is in the standard return and replace it with 1.5-2 inch fittings. The only place I could find to order it was directly from the distributor in Florida that was listed on the PoolSkim web site. It was $60 plus 5 dollars shipping. I had to call in the order as they don't have an ecommerce web site.

I also received the Pool Devil the other day. It appears to be a much cheaper made version using the same principle. I decided to leave well enough alone and let the Pool Skim do what it does best and that's clean the surface of the pool. For the $16 dollars I paid for it I'll keep it as a backup cleaner.

I am very interested in buying that skimmer it seems like it works but i wanted to ask you a question before i pulled the trigger. how fine is the bag that is included will it catch pollen,small ants and tiny bugs. my pool has tons of that crap on the surface in these months. also can the bag be changed to a more fine meshed one if needed? Thanks

I would like to look into one of the skimmers as well. I have an 18 x 36 IG oval pool and only have 1 skimmer, so assistance would be wonderful. How does this work with the water coming out of the return, and this being screwed into the return? Also, how big is it? I have an Aquabot and don't want it to interfere with it.

Thanks.
