Pool Devil Swimming Pool Skimmer removes all floating debris, leaves, grass clippings, insects, and even pollen from the surface of your pool, before it settles to the bottom. This helps keep your pool looking great. Pool Devil also helps extend the life of your pool filtration pump by clearing leaves and other debris before it can clog the pool system. Unobtrusive. No Need to Remove for Cleaning. Pool Devil Swimming Pool Cleaner works in conjunction with your existing pool cleaning device. The design mechanics of utilizing the inflow also ensures that no matter how full the filtration bag gets it will have no adverse effect on the pump operation or your pool cleaning device. The unobtrusive design and positioning of the unit along the sidewall also ensures the free movement of your existing pool cleaning device. There is no reason to remove the unit during cleaning or while swimming.

5.0 out of 5 stars works like a champ - even in a kiddie pool, May 28, 2008

By	Mr T (I pitty the pool!) - See all my reviews

We have a 2000 gallon 12' x 36" above-ground Intex pool that has a very modest filter and pump. The pump is rated at just 530 gallons/hour and .7 Amps so its maybe only 1/10 HP compared to 1/2 to 2 HP on a full size pool.
Out of the box, the skimmer worked OK with our tiny pump but was much more effective when I restricted the water nozzle with my fingers and increased the water velocity through the skimmer venturi. I couldn't find anything around the house to stuff into the water nozzle, but a 1/2" PVC Cap with two wraps of duct tape fits nicely. I drilled a 3/8" hole in the cap and stuffed it into the pool devil's exit nozzle. Instant and dramatic improvement for $.68. Now it skims like it would on a real pool with a much more powerful pump. In fact, it skims so well that our floating thermometer ends up in the pool devil's mouth.
Kudos to Unique Gifts for prompt shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever, simple, effective!, June 6, 2008

I wish I'd designed it! Combined with the Kreepy Krauley (which is 15 years old and counting!), it does an amazing job of keeping my pool junk free and crystal clear. My pool is located under Juniper trees (called Cedar here in Central Texas), and there is a lot of leaf chaff that blows in more or less, constantly. Also oak leaves, bugs and all manner of airborne bits. Feathers, even.

It attaches to a return (there are 2 adapters included - it is possible that these will not fit all pool return line couplings), and it is simply a matter of unscrewing the 'eye', and screwing in (or on, depends on your return) the adapter, putting on the hose and voila! Ready to go.

I bought a second one as a gift for my sister-in-law whose pool could use this nifty leaf collector!

It is so simple, that if you can't figure out how to get it hooked up, then you shouldn't be allowed out alone. ;->

It does a great job in the shallow end of our pool. It really catches everything in it's general area, but for larger pools it falls a little short. Either way it cuts my skimming down :) so that's great!
