Review: Solid pool skimmer basket socks - This skimmer socks work great and are a perfect fit on my pool skimmer basket and help trap small particles, dust & pollen. They maintain their integrity for a few weeks though I’m not sure how that affects performance. By the end of the week, mine look disgusting so I swap them out every week. You can, however, spray them gently with a hose. I use these socks at all times. I also have a Betta skimmer bot. Between the two, I rarely find things in my pump filter basket. I also use Skimmie skimmer basket handles which really reduce the effort it takes to replace these if you use basket handles. Finally, absolutely do not use these on a pump filter basket—if it comes off and gets sucked into your pump, you will probably need a new pump.
Review: Fine Filter Adition - When my pool pump died it was a span of about 2 weeks between dead pump, trouble shoot dead pump, declare dead pump dead, order new pump, receive and install new pump. During that time I did shock the pool twice. The pool grew cloudy and I knew I didn't want to back flush it every hour and add water every 3rd back flush. Looking for a product like this I was pleased to find exactly what I was looking for. These Skimmer socks work so well. I did have to change them out about every 2 hours at first but as the pool cleared up the time between sock changes became longer and longer. These skimmer socks really catch the fine stuff and have prevented me from having to back flush to pool over and over again. As a side note While the material is very fine you can wash these. First, allow the sock to dry, turn it inside out so you can shake out all of the contents that are stuck to the sock (You don't want that in your washer). You can shake them very clean but I do launder mine with a regular washing of clothes. when I pull them out of the washer I allow them to air dry and they are as good as new. Not sure how many washings they are going to tolerate but so far so good. One thing to watch for with these is not allowing them to get to clogged. As the pressure on your pump goes up it can be harmful to the pump. This is no different than a sand filter needing back flushing or a cartridge filter needing to be cleaned. Great Product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Since some of the small debris goes thru the bottom of the pool drain, can these socks b used in the pre-pump basket instead of the skimmer basket?**
A: I would say no because they are sized to fit in the skimmer basket and rely on the suction of the pump to spread them put and cover the surface of the skimmer basket. I have used these for years and they catch a lot of debris. They are worth it in my opinion.

**Q: Are they cleanable or throw away after each use?**
A: They are easily cleanable - just rinse out like a sock - however, they are so cheap and convenient that I gave up on cleaning them and just use a new one.  But they do easily wash out in a sink.

**Q: My basket has a handle and has a lip that holds it in place - would these still work -- or too thick?**
A: Hello, yes these will still work. Some have a removable handle, you can remove the handle place the skimmer sock over the basket and reinstall the handle. The lip will still hold it in place as these are an elastic ultra fine mesh and not interfere with normal use

**Q: Where are they made?**
A: The package states "Made in China".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product!!!! I highly recommend!!!
*by D***O on February 19, 2019*

I am quite impressed with these socks! They pull out a lot of debris and gunk from my skimmer before it hits the filter, and made my DE last a lot longer. I typically don't backwash my DE filter when it gets dirty. I take it apart and clean the grids as I would when I winterize it. Its a messy job that I dread. With these socks i think only had to clean the grids once this past summer, as opposed to two to three times without the socks. I typically wash out the socks out and reuse them, they clean up very well. I get a a few weeks out of each one and that's with washing them out almost daily. Eventually they break down as they are a very fine material, but they are cheap enough to change as often as you need.
