Review on 30-Pack Pool Skimmer Socks By DOLOPL: Keep Your Pool Clean & Clear! by Patrick Matin

Update 07/2019: Finally needed more since I replace both, once a week, in less than 5 minutes. Everything from my original note still holds true.Original These socks are as good or better than the ones I can buy at my local pool supply store , where 5 socks cost $12. I used to hose off the old socks due to their cost, but I just may toss these after a single use. Depending on the season, they catch a lot of pollen, dirt, insects, etc. that would otherwise make it to the filter. Before using these socks, I'd have to backwash the filter once a month, now I make it the entire NJ season without back washing or replenishing the DE.For those who have complained about the pulls / runs, these are like the old women's nylons or pantyhose, it's the nature of the material that they will snag and get tears but they are still effective (my biggest problem are Japanese Beetles). Also, I've seen some comments / complaints about the installation. The socks get installed on the inside of your basket, as shown. Just spread the basket a bit and remove the handle, install the sock & reinstall the handle. The handle is removed in the photos to show the product and NEVER install the sock on the outdside of the basket, it's just going to get sucked off and pulled through your lines and could plug them or mess up your pump, if they get that far.
