Helps keep water clear.

Works great for dog hair, leaves and pollen. I'm sure it helps keeping the filter in good shape and the pump. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Fit perfectly; great price
Cons
  • The socks can get stuck in the pool skimmer and cause damage

Simple tool for keeping a pool clean!

I clean the sock of leaves and dirt, wash it off, and re-use it until it wears out. That way, the package lasts a long time. During my first pool ownership, I did not know about these pool skimmer socks. Now I do. These skimmer socks do an amazing job at keeping the pool clean by catching smaller things that get through the basket. Amazing product!

Pros
  • Increases the lifespan of pool equipment
Cons
  • The socks can cause the pool to become unbalanced if not disposed of quickly

Works as advertised

Must remove skimmer basket handle to install. Used one in each skummer and definitely kept stuff out of filter. Decided not to use anymore as would have to replace daily as pool is surrounded by trees.

Pros
  • Slows down wear and tear on pool pumps
Cons
  • The product may not fit in all types of skimmer baskets

Good value for the money.

These were 14.99 for a pack of 30 when I bought them. The local store is selling a two pack for 15.99 and they aren’t even as nice. These showed up quickly. It was supposed to be next day but I got mine the same day I ordered them.

Pros
  • Simple usage - the pool socks can be installed in seconds, make it easier to remove the dirt from your pool.
Cons
  • The socks can cause the pool skimmer to jam

Nice quality for my opinion

Pros
  • Effective way to maintain the cleanliness of the pool
Cons
  • The product may not work well with saltwater pools

great product for my opinion

If you have leaves and debris entering your pool these are really great to use. When it is clogged with debris simply replace. I did leave one on for a few weeks and the fabric disintegrated, my bad. They keep the main filter cleaning to a minimum.They don't seem to slow the pump down even when clogged.

Pros
  • I like its look.
Cons
  • The material used to make the socks is thin and flimsy

Good addition to skimmers

The best way to keep your main filter from getting to contaminated so often! The do wonders keeping your pool clean. There are cheaper options available on the market.

Pros
  • These socks are Amazing & help with NOT having to replace filter as often. Can be rinsed out & reused.
Cons
  • There are cheaper options available on the market

Works great! - my new review

We live in a high pollen area. We ordered the socks because ours neighbors have a willow which drops a ton of leaves and was stopping up all 3 filters. Using the socks it stops the leaves and the pollen. VERY HAPPY

Pros
  • Quick and easy to install
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for outdoor pools in extreme weather conditions

Savior of my sand filter

These things are great! They catch debris that otherwise ends up in the sand filter. Moreover, they also manage to catch algae (how can I tell; because the backwash never has a green tint). Moreover, they are relatively inexpensive.

Pros
  • Improves overall pool cleanliness
Cons
  • The product is not suitable for pools with high levels of debris from trees and plants

Great dea! Excellent quality!

Great deal on a 30 pack. They almost work too well! They filtered out a huge amount of algae at pool season startup. I will definitely be buying again!

Pros
  • Reduces the need for frequent filter cleaning
Cons
  • The product may not be effective at trapping large debris

Hair kills pool pumps. these catch hair.

Best thing for my pool ever.I had no idea how much crud and hair there was that my baskets were too big to catch.Hair will ruin your pump motor, for me it is worth using 1 per week to extend the life of my motor.It also appears to absorb oils from Sunscreen and such which is an odd side, benefit perhaps?Buy to keep hair and such away from the impeller, these are awesome.

Pros
  • Improves pool aesthetics
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for pools with a lot of algae growth

it lets me feel good about swimming with my fur Babies

These skimmer socks help save my filter and equipment. My two black labs swim daily and the amount of dog hair is unbelievable! I Chang out these socks almost daily, realizing how much hair I prevent from going through the system. It also collects bugs, leaves, leaf particles and other stuff. Most important, it lets me feel good about swimming with my fur Babies!

Pros
  • Can be used with or without a skimmer basket
Cons
  • The socks can become too thin after extended use

these seem to work well

I really don't have much debris falling into my pool, so these seem to last longer than I thought. I am able to re-use these after cleaning, I get about 1-1/2 to 2 weeks out of each sock. Do not use these if you add chlorine to your pool via the skimmer, they will deteriorate very quickly when exposed to chlorine tablets. They do pick up quite a bit of fine dirt as well as larger contaminants

Pros
  • Makes pool maintenance effortless
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for pools with a high volume of leaves

Better & cheaper by far

I have spent so much on these filter socks when buying from pool stores. Like $7.99 for 10 socks! I’d rinse them out to get 2 uses out of them until they got threadbare or torn. No more of that!

Pros
  • Still using this in my pool, works as expected, price is better than the ones at the pool store.
Cons
  • The socks can unravel after extended use

I love using these socks

I love using these socks. They catch lots of the tiny debris that would normally reach my large canister filters. Since using these socks and my Hayward Tiger Shark pool cleaner, I only clean my 4 cartridges from the main filter once a year. When I pulled them out this year to clean, my son said they looked like they didn't need much cleaning (which was nice). You can clean and re-use the sock several times. I have used mine as long as 3 weeks with 5-6 cleanings. After a while they will start…

Pros
  • Simple solution for a common problem
Cons
  • The socks can become dislodged and float in the pool during use

Great skimmer bag for my opinion

Great skimmer bag, these are a little thicker. Seems to catch more than the last bags I used. I like these better. My Pool is crystal clear.

Pros
  • Saves time and money on maintenance
Cons
  • The product can be easily damaged during shipping

Great for increased skimmer filtering.

My pool uses pleated filters and the longer I can go without taking the filter housing apart to pressure wash my filters, the better. These socks catch the small stuff that would normally get past the skimmer and into your pool filter. The only issue is that you need to check your skimmer basket a bit more often to keep it from clogging up. Love these.

Pros
  • Great value for the price
Cons
  • The product may not be effective at trapping insects and small creatures

They work ! best in my review

These skimmer socks do a great job saving wear on the filter. If you have a problem with tree debris and other foreign objects getting into your pool, these socks capture it all. I change out the sock every week and clean the filter every two weeks.

Pros
  • Reduces chemical usage in pool maintenance
Cons
  • The socks can become easily torn during installation

Good Skimmer Basket Socks

I reordered the 30 pack. I use these skimmer basket socks year round. I change them out once a week, and probably get about 3 to 4 uses out of each sock. It's a good product.

Pros
  • Environmentally friendly product
Cons
  • The socks can become too heavy with debris and sink to the bottom of the pool

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for pool filters

I change one every time I turn pool on/off. I wash and reuse countless times. Keeps filter running strong and sand inside super clean

Pros
  • Nacial
Cons
  • The socks may not fit properly in some skimmer baskets
