Parachute Skimmer Pool & Pond Skimmer

The parachute net works good on leafs and other floating debris. However one has to work hard on removal of cottonwood which here in Michigan we get in June. One must good slow and removal of cottonwood is sticky and hard to remove and a water hose is needed . I found it is best to walk around the pool and drag it to get it to work best. It beats a pool net and is a good thing to have and I recommend it. My only negative issue is I feel it is a bit overpriced.

I've been using the skimmer for at least a decade On a hundred and fifty by a hundred foot pond and it finally wore Out so I needed a new one ! It works great but requires just a little bit of Practice To Throw, I have extended the rope for my large pond.And usually just pull it around the perimeter when the wind blows.
The debris to the shore , Great product I don't know how I'd maintain a clear pond without it !!!

WE bought this in great anticipation but we are finding it hard to work with. WE are still trying and won't give up .

A great alternative to investing in skimmer pumps to remove duckweed from the pond!

So far spent 2 1/2 hours skimming the pond. Fished out all the little brim and tadpoles before I dumped algae. Didn't make a dent in the algae. May try again after some cleaning of grass but...disappointed.
