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.
