About This Product
For removing surface leaves and debris, the telescopic skimmer is the perfect size for cleaning above-ground pools, spas, hot tubs, ponds and more. The skimmer adjusts to the length you need by extending to 8 ft. For maximum reach and collapsing to approximately 4ft. 7in. For convenient storage. This grab-n-go maintenance tool is a must have for touch-up cleaning, so keep it at the ready. The sturdy one-piece molded frame protects the pool wall, steps or any surface from scratches or scuffs. The easy-lock cam tightens in place with a quick twist. The close-mesh net keeps what you've captured in the net and ensures that even smaller debris won't fall through the net and back into the water.

Questions & Answers
Is the frame around the net plastic or aluminum?
Hi, This has an all plastic frame. It is a super handy, lightweight tool, used frequently by homeowners during the swimming season to quickly pick up surface debris from the pool water.
does the net come off so you can attach other things
Hi, The net does not come off as this is an all-in-one cleaning tool, used for quick skims of the pool. All other HDX Pool Tools, leaf Rake, Skimmer, Brush, etc do connect with either the 8' or 16' HDX Telescopic Pole found in the pool department.
Where is this manufactured?
USA, think I read this on the front
Call Home Depot and ask them.
Hi, This is made in China.
is the diameter 1- 1/16 or 1-3/16?
The pole is 3-piece telescopic requiring 3 separate diameters. The smaller diameter (7/8”) is closest to the net, the middle section diameter (1”), and the largest diameter (1 1/8”) is at the handle.
The pole is 3-piece telescopic requiring 3 separate diameters. The smaller diameter (7/8”) is closest to the net, the middle section diameter (1”), and the largest diameter (1 1/8”) is at the handle. Works great - I just wish you could purchase a replacement net ONLY however, I've yet to find this available.
1-1/4"
Measuring mine the O.D. of the larger handle is 1.12 inches an the inter handle is .86 inches. Hope this helps..
Does this product mesh open to a small basket when used? Or is the mesh flush to the ring.
It is flush with the ring.
The mesh is flush to the ring to skim debris off the top of the pool water.
It is flush to the ring.
Shallow real shallow basket
If I understand your question, it opens to a net about 9-12 inches deep, I would estimate. It is not flush with the ring. Scoops up plenty of leaves and debris.
Is this pole a stard size universal pole? So I can use a brush and so forth with it?
NO - the pole is 3-piece telescopic requiring 3 separate diameters. The smaller diameter (7/8”) is closest to the net, the middle section diameter (1”), and the largest diameter (1 1/8”) is at the handle. The net is permanently attached to the pole.
The pole does not detach from the net I have
Thanks for asking, Ralph. This pole is a standard telescopic pool pole, and will fit with most (if not all) standard pool accessories, such as brushes, vacuums, skimmers, etc.
Yes
Yes it is
What is maximum extended length of pole?
8 foot
Hi Ted. This skimmer/pole combo extends to a maximum of about 8 feet. Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions! You can reach us on weekdays during normal business hours at (800) 854-1492.

Example: I have looked at the manual and can't figure out what I did wrong.
Yes. Also plnt pollen.
YouTube it ✌️
The net on this skimmer consists of a mesh with gaps of approximately 1.5 mm. It is best suited for leaves and debris, but should be able to pick up many insects such as flies and ladybugs, etc. Smaller insects like ants or gnats will likely fall through the mesh, however.
it has worked so far for me on small insects and grass clippings
Yes, this skimmer net will work for small insects and debris.
Yes the skimmer works on small insects.

We are sorry you were disappointed!
This one-piece skimmer with pole is made for quick skimming of pool, pond or spa surface.
It does not replace a heavy-duty skimmer or deep leaf net which are used with a telescopic pole (separately).

Thank you for letting us know of the problem. We look forward to hearing back that the problem has been resolved.
This skimmer is great for a quick skim before taking a dip!
It does not replace a heavy duty leaf rake or skimmer that is used with a standard telescopic pole, but it is light and easy to use for small jobs.
Sincerely,

Elite Swivel Swimming Pool Skimmer
The patented design of Swivel Skim Elite features a swivel functionality to the frame allowing forward and backward rotation with simple push/pull action without disturbing the debris in the net. Use to quickly glide along the pool surface, Swivel Skim Elite bears the weight of the collected debris because the frame floats. The bi-directional functionality allows the direction of the skimmer to change in an instant, but keeps debris trapped in the net until you're ready to empty. Perfect for collecting debris in the center of the pool with no strain.
