Gets the small debris that float
I live in a semi windy area and my pool only has the option to run the built in skimmer or vac by itself. Unfortunately the wind blows all the debris to the opposite end of the pool and the built in skimmer has zero chance of clearing it. This pool vac attachment is great because it will clean above the pool vac and best of all it gets all the small debris that are a daily nuisance for me. Even with the pool net, I can’t get everything that this thing picks up. Rated 4 out of 5 because only one issue. The unit often gets tangled on the hose so I have to dislodge or vacuum will just stay in a corner. One solution that may help and I’d be happy to buy would be a “T - Swivel Joint” where it would allow the skimmer to swivel on the long axis.

Purchased this because I have a leak in my skimmer line. I capped it off and purchase this. In the beginning it was not working properly with my vacuum. There was very little pressure. I realized my filter needed to be changed. Once I did that it work great. I have no debris floating after just a few hours of use. I highly recommend. Just make sure your filter is clean.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Well-Made, and Effective
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016
Size: SkimmerMotion ORIGINALVerified Purchase
This is a great device to provide strong, effective skimming of an inground swimming pool. I live in Southern Florida and in the Spring, after a strong rain, the surface of our backyard pool will be covered with thousands of small flying insects (gnats?). Almost all of them float on the surface, so they don't go through the floor drain. I can spend a good hour with the skim net, slowly walking back and forth scooping up these bugs, and even then there will be lots I missed. The pool skimmers built into the sides of the pool don't generate enough water movement to cause the floating bugs to enter the skimmer and get sucked into the filter.
I reviewed available add-on skimmers and selected the SkimmerMotion as being the best candidate. It's a simple design and doesn't require modification to my pool or pump system. And the reviews led me to believe this might work for me. In addition, this product is labeled as Made in the USA, and that carries a lot of weight in my decision-making process.
The device comes packed well, in a sturdy box that stood up to the USPS system. The floating head unit is well-made of thick durable plastic. The quality of the design and manufacturing is evident; it's a substantial unit that should hold up to years of use. A corrugated white plastic tube connects to the underside of the head unit. The tube has a T-joint at the other end which connects to your pool cleaning robot. I have a Pentair Kreepy Krawly Great White which has a socket for connecting the cleaning hose to the inlet inside the pool's skimmer housing; that socket has a suction adjustment that allows me to dial up or down the suction going to the Great White.
I have connected the SkimmerMotion two different ways: 1) Following the SkimmerMotion instructions, I connected the T-joint to the Great White's hose and let the Great White pull the SkimmerMotion around the pool. That worked well, since I only had to adjust the socket inside the skimmer housing to get the proper distribution of suction between the Great White and the SkimmerMotion. Easily attached and easily adjusted. 2) To use the SkimmerMotion without the Great White, I stuck the T-joint directly into the socket inside the skimmer housing and plugged the open end of the T-joint with a golf ball. The SkimmerMotion was in the pool by itself and the suction adjustment is still available via the socket.
In both configurations the SkimmerMotion worked exactly as advertised. The bugs get pulled in from several inches away, and go down the tube and on to the pool filter.
I will be recommending this to my friends and neighbors. It does the job!
The only reason for four stars rather than five is the price. Like most other swimming pool accessories, this costs more than it should.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job - Saves time
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2023
Size: SkimmerMotion ORIGINALVerified Purchase
This Skimmer Motion Automatic Skimmer is working. We keep getting alot of rain which raises the water level above our in-ground pool skimmer and wanted to do something (without constantly draining the water). Since we need to use the Skimmer Motion almost daily to remove tiny floating knats, we have installed it directly into our pool skimmer inlet with 2 segments of hose from our automatic pool vacuum. We purchased the Cap/Plug Adapter separately in order to do this. After adjusting and fine tuning the intake (which was actually kind-of fun for me) and re-evaluating the on and off times of the pool pump to meet our swimming schedule, this is working great ! My only wish is... that I invented it myself.
Thanks for a quality-made, Made in the USA product. And for making it adaptable to use without the automatic pool vac.
(So far, I have not tried to use it with our automatic pool vacuum but if I do, I will try to add on to this review.)

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023
Size: SkimmerMotion XTREMEVerified Purchase
First off, it was broke on arrival. Bummer, but still wanted to try it out. Attached it & got it to work but I cant recommend it. First off, there is no control valve for where it connects to the main hose. It needs one for sure. The pump has to be turned all the way up to run both vacuum & skimmer, which makes it pointless to have variable speed pump. Highly inefficient. Next the skimmer hole is tiny, not good for bigger leaves or anything larger than a silver dollar. Then the basket doesnt attach to bucket, it just sits in it. It can be problematic because of tipovers from hose moving it or even floating more than the basket. Hard to explain, but it just really isnt well designed. Definitely need control valve at hose, bigger hole for skimming & a way to secure the bucket assembly to housing. Your better off just using vacuum, & skimming by hand. Returned & going to try the "skim a round" which seems likes its built correctly & addresses all the issues I just talked about.
