If you like interesting surprises, then you might actually enjoy peeking into the skimmer baskets each week to see what mystery items have been collected. But, for many pool-owners, discovering what the weekly contents of the skimmer baskets are is anything but fun. On a regular basis, you probably find hair, leaves and grasses, bugs, and even pool toys, but you also may occasionally find an unfortunate critter or a mysterious pile of slimy goop. Sure, you can attempt to empty the basket’s contents by turning it over and tapping on the bottom. Inevitably, though, you’ll need to use your hand to swipe out whatever items will not come out with even a vigorous tapping — most often, it seems that what is left are the most disgusting bits.
Scumsock Skimmer Filters provide an inexpensive solution for pool owners (like me) who prefer not to come into contact with skimmer basket treasures. Scumsocks slip over your skimmer basket to catch debris and prevent it from reaching your pool’s filter. When Scumsocks get dirty, just toss them away. Additionally, Scumsock Skimmer Filters provide longer filter cycles and require fewer cleanings.
