PoolSkim is great!

[AnnaK]

From my very brief experience of just this afternoon, you can put a solar cover over it but you probably couldn't run your pump because I think a part of the cover would get sucked into the vortex.

However, you could cut a small 6 inch circle out of your cover to leave the PoolSkim uncovered. Then again, since the solar cover lies on the water, I don't know how effective the PoolSkim would be.

Love mine. Well, ok. Loved it, past tense, for about 30 seconds. That's how long it took one of the dogs to decide it was a fetch toy. He leaned over the edge to grab the hat, overbalanced, fell in. Fell on top of the device. BLAM! Pieces of PoolSkim everywhere. Ask me if I'm glad I didn't glue it all together.

No harm done. I fished the various elbows and such off the bottom and reconnected it. Next time the dog came near it I smacked him in the head. He hasn't looked at it since. And then I watched it suck dog hair off the surface. Really, too cool!
