There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
UPDATE: After using this for a few years it started flying out of the pool, and the pump would take in air. Have NO idea why it started doing this, but I finally got so fed up I removed it. It was great, while it lasted.
Someone said to put a rock in the bottom to keep it from bobbing. NO. There needs to be air below the filter basket - bobbing is normal.
Someone else said they were getting air in the 2nd intake valve because the plug they send with this skimmer has a small air hole in it. He put in his original plug with no hole. That's an affirmative NO too. I was concerned about the same thing and called Intex. A service rep. that obviously had this question before, and really seemed to know her stuff, said the pump is designed to pull from both valves. Closing off one completely will cause more damage to your pump than the small bit of air that's being sucked through.
I picked this skimmer up for an 18 foot Polygroup Summer Waves Easy Set pool. While the included screw-on in-take coupling does not fit my Summer Waves, I had removed the leaf screen (with a small hack-saw) on my intake some time ago so I could vacuum my pool with an actual pool vac extension, so using the product linked to below, I was able to just stick it in my intake and it worked like a charm (Jed Pool Tools 80-220 Inc 80-220 Hose Connector, 9-Inch -for 1-1/4 Inch or 1-1/2 Inch hose):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SU7GSY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_10
Adjusting it is sort of a pain, as it needs to be as level as possible, but due to the fact that you're clamping this on to what is essentially an inflatable ring of air, it makes keeping it level a bit challenging. That said, it can be done - and I was able to get it to work without too much hassle. 15 minutes of adjusting and moving it "just right", and this thing is working like a charm.
Full disclosure - I'm *NOT* using the included crappy canister filter/pump that comes with the Easy Set pool (those are garbage, IMHO - both Summer Waves and Intex branded). I picked up an Intex sand filter instead, so it indeed has the suction to make this work great - as well as push my saltwater chlorinator without losing pressure.
All in all, I'm satisfied so far. When it turns off, the basket floats to the surface with whatever garbage has been trapped kept inside. Hoping this will minimize the amount of stuff that falls to the bottom of the pool, and in return reduces the amount of times I'll need to vacuum. Highly recommended (so far)!
Also, it said on the product page that this is *JUST* for the "EASY SET SWIMMING POOLS ONLY" (the ones with the inflatable rings), but it also came with the hardware to mount it to regular hard-side pools too. Not sure if that was a mistake by the seller, but... well, there it is.
[UPDATE 8-4-2016]
OK, so I've been using this a while now. Just thought I'd chime back in and let people know my experience - basically, due to the inherent nature of an inflatable ring that loses air over time, the diameter of ring decreases and this skimmer is prone to slippage. I came home from work and the skimmer had tilted up to a 45 degree angle, allowing a crap ton of air into my sand filter to the point where it was blowing air out of the return into the pool! I have no idea how long it was running like this, as I had my pump/filter set to run for 24 hours so I could boost my chlorine with my saltwater chlorinator (just had a heavy storm and the water needed to be shocked). So, keep in mind - unless you concoct a more permanent mount that is unattached to the inflatable ring, this thing is prone to slip out of place every couple of weeks.
Keep your ring inflated and periodically adjust the skimmer, and you'll probably be OK.
