ProTuff 490 Promise 19.5in Pro Pool Leaf Rake Net, Deep Bag Skimmer

I purchased this Skimmer net over 3 years ago and aside from a little sun bleaching of the red coloring it is absolutely as good as new. This is hands down the very best skimmer net I have ever purchased. The quality is 2nd to none. ProTuff did not cheap out in any way with this pool rake - I understand why this product came with an unlimited free replacement warranty - this thing is made so well, it won't have to be replaced probably ever. And don't think I have been easy on this thing. I have 6 trees all around my house that dump millions of leaves into my pool every year. This rake makes getting them out a breeze. It is huge and holds way more leaves than I can even carry, and I can scrape this thing all over the bottom to get the big leaves and debris that falls down to the bottom of the pool ( which is ALOT). It has held up really well. If you look closesly at the top of the rake you might see minor (and I mean MINOR) wear on the red plastic. No holes or unraveling or powderizing of the netting either. The net looks brand new just like the day I got it. And it is heavy duty, too. Ask the huge 4 pound prehistoric sized orange iguana I fished out last week. I used to buy pool nets every year or so. Sure, ProTuff is a little more, but its been over 3 years and still good as new, so if you value quality and don't want to waste your money on inferior products, get ProTuff's pool rake. You will not be disappointed and I am sure you will agree, it is the best pool rake/skimmer net you have every purchased! Update: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Quality & Customer Service – Truly ProTuff We couldn’t be happier with our ProTuff pool net. It served us extremely well for seven years, but eventually we did have an issue with the netting and surrounding plastic. At that point, the real moment of truth arrived—would ProTuff truly honor their lifetime replacement policy? They absolutely did. The replacement process was smooth, professional, and handled exactly as promised. All I did was fill in a form online. No arguments or lengthy hold times on a phone listening to bad elevator music. A couple days after I submitted the form, I received notice that a new net was being shipped. I could not believe how easy that was! Wow, now that is what I call excellent customer service!!! The replacement came pretty quickly. After receiving a replacement, we were blown away by the updated design—it’s smart, more cost-effective, and works absolutely fantastic. You can immediately tell this is a company that thinks things through and builds products to last. What really sets ProTuff apart, though, is their customer service. The company contacted me via email shortly after delivery to ensure I received it and to see how I liked it. I felt like I did a time warp to days past, when people really cared about providing great customer service. It was nice. The replacement process was seamless, the follow-up was thoughtful, and it’s clear they genuinely stand behind what they sell. That kind of integrity is rare these days. The net itself is far superior to the cheap alternatives we’ve used in the past, and when I’m able, I’ll absolutely be purchasing one of their poles because I know it will last. ProTuff delivers exactly what they promise—excellent products, outstanding service, and an attitude of excellence from start to finish. I’ve already told friends about ProTuff and will continue to recommend them without hesitation. They truly deserve the praise. If you are thinking about getting a ProTuff product, know that while there are options out there that are cheaper, you will get what you pay for. If you decide to spend a little more on a ProTuff, I can guarantee you will be absolutely thrilled that you made a smart purchase and a great investment that you will not have to worry about. Ever. This company is solid and they do what they promise. No arguments or wasting of your time jumping through hoops. This is a company that prides itself on providing you with the best products and service available, and it shows! So make the investment, you will be happy you did!!!!!

I originally purchased this net about 6 years ago for my FL in-ground pool. I've used it about twice per month to scoop up larger debris like Palm fronds before setting my robot vacuum loose. The net worked fine, but the plastic rim eventually cracked and it completely fell apart about a week ago. Looking to buy a replacement, I checked my order history here to see what I bought. I was happy to "rediscover" that my net had a lifetime warranty! Better yet, the warranty service is actually as easy as stated. I used the warranty link on the ProTuff website, entered my Amazon order # and my address, and that was all I needed to do. It really did take about 2 minutes. I got an email saying a replacement would be sent out shortly. My new pool net arrived 3 days later. And I was VERY happy to see that it's been improved. Most importantly, the plastic rim is thicker and much sturdier. The net seems a bit sturdier too, and it has a zipper for easy replacement. The plastic rim can also be removed and replaced separately (unlike my first net), which all makes sense for more cost-effective warranty service. This net requires a bit of easy assembly. Just remove the 2 zip ties holding the frame tight, attach the bracket (2 sides and a sleeve fit over the ends of the metal frame, then 3 screws to secure), and it's ready to use. NOTE: Don't cut the zip ties; they are reusable, with a small nub that releases the strip when pushed. A few extra ones are provided too (just for personal use), and I will be using them for luggage, etc. The new net works fine, and seems a bit smoother than my original. This could be due to the thicker, wider plastic rim. I'm pretty sure it will last longer than my first one, and the real lifetime warranty means I won't need to buy a new one down the road. For quality, sturdiness, and warranty, this net is definitely a great deal compared to the cheaper nets I looked at. Highly recommended.

This pool net is of such high quality that it blows all other nets out of the water. I can see why the reviews are excellent! AND they offer a 2 yr. full warranty replacement for this net. First off...the heft and construction is top notch. The extremely fine mesh of the net is the finest I have ever seen. Nothing is going to escape this. It securely snaps onto the adjustable pool pole. I can truly see this lasting forever! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED---GREAT VALUE $$ for $$.

5 Stars – Excellent Product and Outstanding Warranty Support I purchased the PROTUFF pool net and have been very pleased with both the product and the company. After regular use, the net eventually wore out, so I contacted PROTUFF regarding the warranty. They stood behind their product exactly as advertised and handled the warranty claim very well. It is rare these days to find a company that not only offers a strong warranty, but actually honors it without making the process difficult. Their customer service was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. The replacement process gave me a lot of confidence in the brand. The net itself works well for pool cleaning, and the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction makes this an easy 5-star review. I would definitely buy from PROTUFF again and recommend them to anyone looking for a quality pool net backed by a company that stands behind its products.

Best net ive ever bought and used! I bought mine two years ago and unfortunately the net started tearing from the corners. But these guys sent me a free replacement fast! No hassle! And this new design is awesome! I know this new pool net will last even longer then two years! And by the way I was replacing other brands every year. Buy this pool net guys!! 🔥🔥💪💪

This is a well-made product however I wish I would’ve bought the smaller one. This is a little awkward when he gets filled with leaves

Product is heavy-duty and does a magnificent job of collecting debris from your pool We've had ours for more than twice as long as any other Pool net (skimmer) and it held up perfectly until this season, where the netting started to tear and the plastic was breaking down. Company had zero issue in sending a replacement out. 5-Stars easily.

I am writing this review 5 years after I bought this net and the pole it attaches to. Yes, 5 years! This net was subjected to daily, heavy use. I left it outdoors in the elements with the other cleaning equipment. No babying here! And it still lasted this long. The only thing that finally went wrong with it was a small hole that developed on the seam. After 5 years! I actually was going to buy a new one—and gladly so— because it had been such a great purchase. But when I went to buy a new one, I learned mine came with a lifetime warranty. I contacted the company, pretty much expecting the typical response when you try to redeem a warranty. You know, where the company tries to get out of honoring it. That did not happen here. On the contrary, they were friendly, professional, prompt, and immediately got my replacement processed. I’m getting my new net in a few days. How amazing is that? Regarding the net: it is very well made. The plastic from which the net hangs is thick and solid and resistant to the elements. After 5 years, it hasn’t even faded. It did not crack, flake, or otherwise degrade. The metal part is entirely intact. No rusting, no bending or warping. And the fit with the pole is still snug and secure. The net itself is tough and strong, yet the mesh is fine enough to capture everything. This is a small business with a well-made product and excellent customer service that honors its word. Buy from them with confidence. In short, as I said, TOP QUALITY. So satisfied with this purchase and the customer service.

I have been very pleased with this net. It is strong, the shape cleans our koi pond very well and the mesh size is perfect for cleaning out the algae and sludge from the bottom. It also empties out far easier than I expected. A GREAT product. I use it a lot and it has made a big difference in our pond.

La he usado por un par de semanas y se ve de uso rudo, yo espero que me dure muchos años

Overall this skimmer net works great. I like the fact that it is clear so that you can see leaves and debris floating underneath the water. My previous skimmer net was white and I found it harder to capture this type if material. It also glides through the water with medium resistance, which is good based on the small size of the openings in the net (i.e. for silt). I also find their warranty very impressive. The only negative comment is that I find the depth of the net to be a little small. This means you have to empty it more often. If you try to collect too much debris it just spills over into the pool. Another 2"-3" would be ideal.

Super well made, quality is amazing. Sinuses to buy one every season and this one is still as good as new after 3 seasons.
