You just set it on top of your skimmer basket (basket not included), and it immediately begins improving the water flow pattern. As shown on page 3, you simply measure the outer diameter of your basket to pick the correct 6", 7", or 8" version. 🏊 Works at Any Water Level The 8” funnel design works regardless of pool water level fluctuations, which is a huge plus during hot weeks or rainy days when levels rise and fall unpredictably . It helps maintain suction power and surface skimming even when conditions change. 🔧 No Moving Parts, All Results There are no complicated mechanisms to deal with—just a smart shape that boosts performance. No clogging, no maintenance. It even helped relieve pressure on my pool pump by improving surface water intake speed. ✅ Pros: Dramatically improves surface debris removal Simple drop-in installation—no tools needed Works with various pool water levels Durable, single-piece molded plastic ❌ Cons: You need to measure your basket carefully before ordering Skimmer basket not included Overall: The Skimmie Cyclone is one of those smart, low-cost upgrades that makes a visible difference.

Super

Waste of money. No change to flow or any effect at all.

I'm always looking for something to improve the function of my skimmer. I've had a venturi device that worked pretty well, but was awkward and never fit right, plus it made it hard to empty the basket. I ordered this by size, my basket is 8"ish, so I thought I'd take my chances. My basket has two flat surfaces to fit into the well, and the skimmer did not. So I couldn't really attach it to the basket. But it worked fine just sitting atop the basket, with no attachment. You can use it two ways, depending on the level of the water. It seemed to work better pointing up than down. So I raised the level of the water and it's fine, I just have to make sure to maintain that level. It works by creating a vortex and directing the debris into the basket. My pump is variable speed, and it works much better on the higher speed than the lower one. I also directed the bulk of the water flow to the skimmer, as opposed to the sweeper/bottom drain. But overall, I'm happy with it. It might float off the basket when the pump is off, but seems to reset itself once the pump is running. It's quality plastic, not flimsy. It does come with zip ties to connect it to the basket if you choose, but I haven't done that yet. Easy to empty the basket, just lift it off and dump. Definitely worth the money.

Really impressed with this skimmer attachment. It noticeably increased the pull at the skimmer and helped collect surface debris much faster than before. Leaves, bugs, and small debris that used to float around longer are now getting drawn in much more efficiently. I also like that it works well even when the water level isn’t perfect. It was simple to set in place and started making a difference right away. Great idea, easy to use, and definitely worth it for improving skimmer performance.
