Type of review

I have only used this product for about a week. It does an excellent job at capturing the tiniest leaves and such. I have 2 skimmer baskets ( 1 is a spare) with these socks installed. I rotate them daily. Use one in the pool while other is drying. Debris shakes out easier when dry.

Pros
  • Can be used multiple times
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for all pool types and brands

These filter socks held up great

The filter pump skimmer sock worked great. Very glad I got these to keep my pool water clean. I rinsed them out used one almost 2 months in the pump filter basket. Saved flushing the DE filter when the small particles would have clogged the filter. In the past I used an old pair of pantie hose to do the same.

Pros
  • Prevents clogs in pool plumbing
Cons
  • The product may not work well with mineral-based pool systems

Great value, works as described.

I have used this product all summer and it has performed well. Catches bugs, grass, leaves and the general creepy-crawlies that land in the pool. Even catches the occasional mice and turtles and keeps all those items out of the pump filter.

Pros
  • Cleaning Tools & Chemicals
Cons
  • The socks can break apart and leave debris in the pool

Clean pool surface best in my review

This works so well. It picks up the tiniest bugs that would’ve gone thru the regular skimmer. I haven’t seen it pickup any pollen yet, but I’m confident it will. I do see the surface of my pool much cleaner than before purchasing this.

Pros
  • Increases pool water clarity
Cons
  • The product may not work well with pool shock treatments

Great Purchase in my review

These socks are great. They save me countless hours cleaning filters of debris that would otherwise shoot right past a skimmer basket. Much easier to clean these socks than the filters. I highly recommend them. Be careful, I have purchased and used other socks from different manufactures and they have not held up as long. these have done well. I recommend them and will purchase them again.

Pros
  • Provides optimal water flow
Cons
  • The socks can be difficult to remove from the skimmer after use

Keeps your filter clean and reduces maintenance time

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…

Pros
  • Ideal for filtration system protection - the skimmer socks can trap debris which your filter fails to capture, such as hair, bugs, and other Small objects.
Cons
  • The packaging is difficult to open

Good product for my opinion

This is a good quality product. It is a basic sock for the pool skimmer. It is a quality similar to others that I have purchased. The pack of 30 should last me more than one season, and for the price is was a good purchase. Assuming nothing changes I will probably purchase these again when I need more.

Pros
  • Easy to dispose of when used up
Cons
  • The product can cause the pool to become cloudy if not used correctly

Grass control good for me

I like this skimmer sock work`s great keeping the grass out of my hair basket and the filter canister when the lawn is cut. Just make sure to remove it before the motor stops because it will flush it back to the water.

Pros
  • Pools, Hot Tubs & Supplies
Cons
  • The product is only available in one size

Pool Skimmer Socks Save Time and Money

Skimmer Socks provide for a cleaner pool and saves time and money in cleaning/replacing pool filters. I've used them for two years and have reduced the time and effort needed in cleaning four cartridge style filters by half.

Pros
  • Helps keep the pool surface free of debris
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for pools with pebble or rough surfaces

An addition to my pool cleaning routine

I just received these socks and can't tell how sturdy they will be. They were very easy to install (just pull them over your skimmer) and it looks like it is filtering a lot of bugs.

Pros
  • Not very durable but a good cheap skimmer bag
Cons
  • The skimmer socks aren't as durable as they should be

Four Stars best in my review

They are easily rinsed and reused. I increased my rating for 4 to 5 because after using one pack for 1 year they are a good value. I have not had to backwash the pool filter as often. They remove pollen, dirt and much debris that fall from the trees around the pool. The trees require that we use more chlorine to prevent algae (from the high organic and phosphates from debris), and these socks did not tear frequently.

Pros
  • pool skimmer socks 30 packs
Cons
  • The socks cannot be used with certain types of pool cleaners

Great idea, not so good on use.

These are a great idea, but have a flaw. We have an Intek pool with the attachable skimmer basket. These socks, when applied to the basket, tend to encourage the debris to flow over the top of the basket and directly into the filter. If they are placed directly on the skimmer float, they suck to the filter intake and reduce the flow substantially. It's a great idea but so far I can't find a way to make them practical

Pros
  • Removes even the tiniest debris from the water
Cons
  • The socks can become too stiff and difficult to remove from the skimmer

Have to buy a basket without the center post, but well worth it for our needs as we have our dog in the pool most days. It has not only eliminated virtually all the hair, but also all the other small surface debris (tree/bush and bugs) that doesn’t get caught when using the hand held pole net.

Pros
  • So far it does great. Arrived fast!!
Cons
  • The socks can easily slip off the skimmer basket

Keeps Pump Clean in my review

If you have lots of leaves or bugs and are tired of cleaning your pump basket then these are a must have.They hold up well and are easy to clean.

Cons
  • The product is not compatible with chlorine-free pools

Perfect for catching all of the small particles!

I don’t know what I would do without these skimmer socks! I have a sand filter for my pool and I am trying to extend its life. These easy to use filter socks catch all of the little things that would normally get caught in the sand. Now when I backwash my filter I am so pleased with how quickly the water is clear and my pool looks great. One word of warning - please make sure you are checking your baskets more often because the fine particles will build up and cause a water flow issue.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • The socks are not suitable for large or commercial-sized pools

Just What We Needed

These skimmer socks are doing exactly what we needed to keep the fine sand, bugs, etc., out of the water. While our skimmer basket caught "big" things, all the fine things because of the size of the holes in the skimmer basket were simply returning back into the water. No more, problem solved. These are easy to put on! We are happy with them.

Pros
  • Affordable price
Cons
  • The product can be difficult to find replacement packs for

Skimmer Socks Rock!

These skimmer socks stop everything from going into my filter and I love love them. It stops the smallest dirt and bugs from going into my filter. They the best and you can clean them and reuse them if you like.

Pros
  • Protects and extends the life of pool equipment
Cons
  • The socks may not work well with older pool skimmers

They keep your filter cartridges clean!

The skimmer socks are a must for any backyard pool owner! If you want clean filter cartridges each time you clean them, (4 month intervals) , you must use them. I clean the skimmer socks about every third day and you would be surprised how much small insects and debris are in them. I have 4 skimmers and 31, 000 gallons. The socks i got on ebay are about .50 each. They are 3.00 each in the pool store. They will last 6 weeks each.

Pros
  • Amazing the stuff in the water these things get before it goes to the pump and filter!
Cons
  • The sizing of the socks is inconsistent
