If you are not using Coopache Swimming Pool Skimmer Socks, let us explain why you should be.  The dirtiest water in your pool is that at or near the surface.  That is why your pool has a skimmer.  These skimmer socks protect your pool’s more expensive components (filter, pump) from many contaminants by stopping them before they ever reach them.  When you pool pump is running, water is being sucked into your skimmer where it heads to you filter and pump.  The skimmer sock catches sand, grass, pine needles and other debris at the skimmer.

In addition to these contaminants, the Coopache Skimmer Socks catch oils, hair, scum, pollen and other invisible or nearly invisible contaminants.  This can really reduce the frequency that you need to clean and replace your pool’s filter.  If your pool uses a cartridge filter, these filters can cost over $100 and need to replaced once or twice a year.  With the skimmer socks, you can generally double the lifespan of a pool’s cartridge filter.  Oils, sunscreens, and pollen can really impact the resistance of the water trying to flow through your pool’s filtration system.  Even after cleaning, much of these oils and microscopic contaminants are left behind.  This can lead to higher energy consumption (higher power bills) when the pool pump is running.  In the second picture above you can see the quantity of fine debris captured by the skimmer sock!

A major benefit of the pool skimmer sock that I have enjoyed is how it removes pollen from the swimming pool.  Many regular filters do not catch all of the pollen and it circulated back into the pool.  The skimmer sock attracts pollen like a magnet out of the water.  No more sneezing every time I swim in the swimming pool.  Removing allergens from the pool water is great if pollen tends to bother your allergies.

The ultra-fine nylon mesh of the skimmer socks are easy to clean and can be reused many times.  They are a breeze to install as they just slide right in your pool’s skimmer basket.  CLICK HERE to see the exact size skimmer baskets these will work with.  In-ground, above ground…  any pool with a skimmer can greatly benefit from the use of them.  Are the skimmer socks by Coopache worth the money?  Are they any good?  Do they really work???  YES, YES, & YES!!!  This product makes cleaning and maintaining your swimming pool easier and faster.  This product saves money on your electric bill (as long as you clean the sock regularly).  This product protects your pool pump from expensive repairs caused by contaminants.  Coopache extends the life of your pool’s cartridge filter, saving you even more money.  This is  a low cost pool maintenance product that will pay for itself.
