I purchased this skimmer to replace a 20 year old cracked one on my pool at the home I grew up in which I now rent. The items arrived quickly and seems to be an authentic Hayward part of good quality. It was pretty easy to install it. It’s not necessarily clear in the pictures and description but this comes with everything you need to install and use this skimmer. It comes with a water return jet, the leaf basket and vacuum elbow attachment , comes with 2 male threaded fittings that attach it to the filter hose (one fitting for the skimmer and one for the water return). It also of course had the skimmer lid and float door as well as the silicon seal that sits between the skimmer and the pool wall. It’s one seal but it’s actually 2 sided and provides seal on both the inside and outside pool walls. There is also the face plate of the skimmer (the part you see when looking at the skimmer from the inside of the pool and of course the screws to install it. If you want to use an aqua-door to easily close the pool for winter you will have to buy it and it’s special “face plate” separately. I would recommend this product.Read full review

Product was very easy to install. Just followed the instructions and had no problems whatsoever. This skimmer works extremely well. I would highly recommend this skimmer for anyone who wants a simple and very efficient debris removal device for their above ground pool. The vacuum feature works great also. Thanks for a great product.

I have been through 2 of the cheap ones in the last 4 years, the tops break the area around the hose gives out. This skimmer just feels better then the other ones, the plastic is thicker and it appears a lot more robust. It came with everything needed to install and use. The basket fits great and is easy to get out, the adaptors plate for the vacuum fits perfectly. I am beyond happy with my purchase.

It's rare to find something that's made better than it used to be but this skimmer is one of them. Hayward makes durable pool products and continues to improve them. I had to retrofit my old nipples onto this kit however as Hayward seems to have increased the diameter of their hardware. The vac adapter has a stepped down fitting that works with either size which is nice.

Installed it on an Intex pool. It installed easy enough. Only issues were the skimmer connection to the filter hose and the way the vacuum attaches. To connect the filter hose, you have to cut the end off of the hose and use a clamp. Would be nice to have an adapter to just secret it in like the hose connects to the pump. The vacuum adapter is just held on by the suction and comes loose. Would be better if it actually attached to the skimmer. Like a twist lock the way the cover is attached. But.. it’s still a decent skimmer.
