ATTENTION, READ THIS!!!
ATTENTION, READ THIS!! First, Do NOT listen to the reviews that suggest putting something inside the bucket to stop it from floating, DO NOT DO THAT! It is supposed to float!! The blue part floats perfectly just below the surface thereby breaking the water surface tension and creates an impressive cyclone of water flowing into the strainer and allows any debris floating on the surface of the pool to be sucked in with great efficiency. Secondly, some others noted having issues with the bracket not holding firmly. I have not had any similar issue, mine holds firmly with the provided hardware. Oh, I have a 4' x 16' COLEMAN above ground pool with a vinyl side and a metal legs skeleton. That being said, Thirdly, The provided hose and adapter attached to my Coleman equipment without issue. Honestly, I was apprehensive about trying this product because other reviewers were saying theirs didn't fit, etc. etc. I'm VERY HAPPY that I rolled the dice because this is literally the BEST $20 I've spent in the last 3 years!!! I could not be happier with the product and NO, I do not have anything to do with the product and get zero in return for my feedback. I absolutely love having everyone's reviews to go through before I purchase something and am a firm believer in reciprocity. If you're considering an after market skimmer for your above ground pool, I recommend this one and would say the same to everyone I know.
