Save your money
Save your money! This gimmick lasted six months! It is made of thin and flimsy material. I contacted customer support when I received a product with a crushed basket; they were prompt in sending me a replacement. I rarely had to remove the skim around to empty it, because it did not attract surface debris or spin half the time. I have a pool cover, so there isn’t that much surface debris. I had to run my variable speed pump on high to make the skim around spin and work. After one season, about 6 months, the entire bottom cracked/ disintegrated while I was removing the skimmer to empty it. The pump was turned off prior to removing the skimmer which had minimal debris (a few leaves and bugs) in the basket. I am now using my old heavier skimmer which is over 25 years old and keeps the debris off the surface of my pool without having to use a manual skimmer.
