We have received advice from our PB to use the sock in the skimmer basket, and then we were told by the pool supply store worker not to, as it increases pressure on the system. Can someone give me the scoop on this. Thanks a ton.

Use either skimmer socks or ladies knee-high stockings. Both work, the skimmer socks probably catch slightly more gunk (but not much more), the knee-high's are cheaper: you just pitch them rather than washing them. 8)jonmar said:...advice from our PB to use the sock in the skimmer basket...told by the pool supply store worker not to, as it increases pressure on the system...
