Just wanted to post on here my personal experience with the skimmer basket version of the Skim-A-Round. Don't bother. Yes, putting it in my skimmer, putting it on the highest setting, adding the volumizer and even turning the main drain off as to get a higher pull into the skimmer did make the "Bernoulli Effect" happen. Trouble is, that doesn't do anything. I actually get more into my regular basket than the Skim-A-Round basket. Using it does make a pretty cool little "Eddy" in the skimmer, but doesn't really do anything. In fact, it can create a problem by allowing too much air into the filter causing air bubbles, which I don't think is a good idea. It is built nicely and should last a long time, especially since I won't be using it. Hey for $35 bucks I thought I would give it a try as I have a lot of Pollen and tree fallout in my pool. I would still like to figure out a way to get more surface water through the skimmer, but alas, I don't think there is with the way my pool is built. Its kidney shape with 2 "eyeball" returns just doesn't move the water towards the skimmer no matter which way I point the "eyeballs". It flows in a clockwise rotation but before the skimmer it kinda turns a sharp right bypassing the skimmer and floating the particles back towards the other "eyeball". Obviously I get stuff in the basket, just not as much as I would like to, or as fast as I would like to. Oh well, gonna go swim now.
