## Description

Tired of getting your hands wet when emptying your skimmer basket? With the SkimDoctor 2.0, simply grab the tower to remove your basket without touching the water! Our fine mesh skimmer sock captures leaves, bugs, pollen, dust, and more while allowing you to quickly dispose of debris without getting your hands wet or dirty. The SkimDoctor 2.0 catches leaves and floating surface debris up to 3x faster than ordinary pool skimmers, before they sink to the bottom of your pool. Now you won't have to skim around your pool as often which means a cleaner pool and less work! By improving water circulation and enhancing the functionality of your inground pool vacuum, SkimDoctor 2.0 also decreases the need for chemicals in your swimming pool. The SkimDoctor 2.0 fits inside your inground pool skimmer basket and requires no special tools for installation. Adjustable gates are used to improve the performance of low flow OR variable speed pool pumps and the chemical and corrosion resistant fittings ensure a long lifespan. Unlike other products, SkimDoctor works from inside your skimmer basket so you never have to look at it while enjoying your pool. The new and improved 2.0 model fits all skimmer baskets up to 10-3/4 inches high by 8-1/8 inches internal top width. This versatile fit allows for use with many different commercial inground swimming pool skimmer baskets. **BASKET NOT INCLUDED**Features:3x Faster cleaning compared to standard pool skimmersSwift and dry cleanup by using the included towerDecreases the amount of pool chemicals neededEasy 5-minute installationVersatile fit for skimmer baskets up to 10-3/4" High x 8-1/8" Width (Internal Top)Skimmer sock included

Review: Works as Advertised with a wonderful small business backing their Product! - The SkimDoctor 2.0 filter works very well in our pool here in Arizona. Firstly, the small business that operates this company 100% stands behind their product and provides kind, excellent support, so directly contact them if you have any questions/problems. Installation was intuitive, quick and easy (I did not need any directions). People pick on the how the SkimDoctor attaches to the basket, but the design is fine considering that it must generically work with any basket. Weekly, I empty the sock that is full of debris that would otherwise be clogging the main filter. I adjusted the tower to create an optimum flow, and it pulls in all debris - my pool is clean. I read reviews from those that rated this low and think many are unfair. I highly recommend this product and company.
Review: I've never been so skeptical about a product... or so wrong! - Well, I dit it! I decided to buy this gadget, which looks a little dorky, and sounds like it solves major issues with skimmer weakness. I was sure the only thing missing was "As seen on TV", and that it would end up in the bin, along with Ginzu knives that cut through shoes, and glue the ultimate back scratcher. This product installs in about 5 minutes. Pull out your skimmer, attache the black zip tie looking things, screw on the top piece. Done. 5 minutes. Wait about 30 seconds and... what?? It does exactly as it says. It really makes an incredible difference in my pool. I went from skimming the pool every day by hand to not having to skim it at all. Once in a while, I'll skim a corner or so.. but that's it. An amazing difference! This one is an easy win! Pros: Works exactly as advertised Sucks up all the leaves, bugs, and debris on the surface of your pool The micro-sock thing reveals that it does a much better job than you expected, and that your pool may not have been as clean as you thought before you had this product. Cons: The sock breaks within the first couple of uses Cleaning the basket is a little quirky, but not enough for you NOT to buy this. Go get it now! Tip: Make sure your jets are creating a nice 'circular' motion in your pool so all the debris eventually goes to the skimmer.

Well, I dit it! I decided to buy this gadget, which looks a little dorky, and sounds like it solves major issues with skimmer weakness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes, It does everything advertised but not as spectacularly as advertised.
*by D***N on February 5, 2017*

Yes, It does everything advertised but not as spectacularly as advertised. Yes, It does increase suction power but it doesn't increase flow to the filter or the return lines, as everyone would expect under Bernoulli's principle. Yes, It does pull floating debris from larger distances, and reduces the need of skimming manually with a net. Yes, I was able to reduce pump running time from about 3 hours to 2 hours. Yes, I had problems with the skimmer basket getting dislodged when people swam and yes, Skim doctor adds weight to it and lessens the problem. Yes, It's easier to pull out the basket because you don't have to submerge your hands to take it out, however emptying it is more difficult and rinsing with a hose is almost mandatory. Yes, It is very easy to install, don't overtighten the screw or you will bend the basket's base or even brake it. Why did I gave it 4 stars. Well, I think it's expensive for what it really is, a plastic cylinder (no matter how smart the product is). The other reason is advertising is overoptimistic. Yes, It does everything advertised but not as spectacularly as advertised.
