Kokido K074CBX Surface Skimmer, Blue

We have an intek 18' pool that had tubular railing. This was an easy install and began paying for itself within the first minute of installation. Within an hour all of the pollen sheen and bugs and debris on top the pool was gone and it looked crystal clear for the first time since we put our pool up 3 years ago. It has drastically cut my pool cleanup time and we absolutely love it. I only had to pop off the flat tabs that were mounted to the plastic screws in order for the product to be wide enough to fit on pool rails- took about a minute to figure out how to make it work and it has been WELL worth it to do so. This is a MUST for an above ground pool. You will need a better pump though than the stock pump that comes with the intek pools. We invested in a Hayward sand pump and use it to skim with. Just block off one of the suction ports and use the other to hook to the skimmer with the supplied adapter. Hope this helps someone else who had the same problem I did. Now I can spend more time enjoying my pool other than constantly hand skimming and vacuuming it all the time.......

We use this skimmer on our 18' Summer Waves above ground pool and it works great at skimming. Our pool has the blow up ring around the top and you have to place it just right and check on it occasionally until you do get it right. If you don't get it on the ring in the right position, the movement of the water can lift the blue floating part of the skimmer out of the water and before you know it, no water is running through the pump. (hope I said that right and it makes sense) This is no fault of the product and I imagine it's easy to get right on an above ground pool as shown in the picture. It does fit tight on the ring of the pool as one person said but there are no sharp edges to worry about popping the ring (not that I can see anyway). I also use a nylon sock on the inside of the catch basin. I do this to catch small bugs, dirt, grass, etc. to try and keep the filter clean longer.

The skimmer was easy to assemble and attach to our Bestway 18' x 9' above ground pool from Costco. Plenty of adapters for a perfect fit. Initially, the skimmer did not work at all due to insufficient pump power. The skimmer manual says it will work will pumps rated aslow as 800 gph but our 1,000 gph pump was too weak. Maybe our pump has to do too much work pushing water through the solar heater. The skimmer worked perfectly (see video) after I plugged the second outlet from the pool and diverted all pump power to one outlet and one inlet. The bottom of the skimmer basket arrived with a big crack so I'll need to get that replaced by Amazon. Other than that, the skimmer works very well and removed 95% of the surface bugs, pollen, and debris. Husband-tested and wife-approved!

It pulls in some bugs, but unless you go empty every day, they can float back into your water. The hanger didn't work for an oval rail, which I did read that in a review and thought we could just rig it up like one gentleman said. We found a way, but keep an eye on your water level or this will be above the water and not much use to you. I have a pretty strong pump so I guess I thought this would pull things down into the actual basket more, but things just seem to circle around the top. I followed directions very well on how far to have under the water. Like I said, just need to keep an eye on it and it is better than nothing. I don't know for sure, but I would say this is pulling pollen and very small debree down into our pump... I hope. :) I did like how they give you extra attachments for your pool. Setup was easy.

This little skimmer is amazing!! We bought a Bestway pool from Sam’s Club this summer but the pump setup is not made to deal with the problems of bugs on the surface of the pool, as it didn’t come with a skimmer. I was spending so much time cleaning the bugs out and my kids were not wanting to swim because I couldn’t get them all. This skimmer gets rid of about 98% of the bugs. I’m so happy with it. The instructions could be better but I managed. The quality is good but most importantly it works.

Skimmer works fantastically with our 5000 gallon metal framed Intex pool - I used to have to spend an hour getting all the crud floating on the top when we wanted to get in but now I spend like 5 minutes - I did get socks for it because any little stuff will go right through the holes of the basket but this with the socks are the perfect accessory to help keep our pool cleaner! I know it has all kinds of adapters to hook onto various types of pools but I still wondered if it would fit ours being a non round metal frame - some said it would fit some said it would not (it does and I included a picture) I put it on it fits super snug and have stayed and worked great ever since - it has been at least a month we have been using it - a great inexpensive investment for sure!

Does not fit the Bestway Power Steel pool. The oval metal frame is too wide for the mounting bracket. Haven’t figured a wag to adapt it

We had our 18 foot round pool last year with no skimmer...our pool had an intake, but it was 6" below surface. We had to hand net our pool every day and still had a ton of stuff sink to the bottom and need vac. Thought I would try this skimmer. It really does work great. We have a coleman metal frame pool and neither of the options to clamp to the pool worked, but I have a deck and just screwed the arm to my deck. But this thing keeps our pool 50 times cleaner than last year. It comes with a clamp to fit an inflatable pool and one to fit a metal frame, but that clamp was too small for my frame.

Prodotto diverso dalla descrizione..non è lo stesso che si vede nelle immagini

Seid wir den Skimmer verbaut haben ist die Wasserqualität sehr , sehr gut. Dadurch das die Fremdkörper doch eine Weile an der Oberfläche schwimmen und diese dann gleich ausgefiltert werden, kommt es zu keiner Verschmutzung. Nur als Anmerkung. Ein Kartuschenfilter wie er bei Pools als Zubehör angeboten wir ist nicht ausreichend. Dann lieber einen vernünftigen Sandfilter gekauft da sonst die Kartusche alle halbe Stunde gereinigt werden muss. (Bei den Sandfilter steht immer dabei maximale Laufzeit 4h. Stimmt nicht unser läuft außer Nachts permanent :-))

Wir haben diesen Skimmer vor dem Ablauf zur Pumpe/ Filter gesetzt, dadurch ist die Wasseroberfläche immer sauber. Die Halterung ist auch klasse und stabil. Als kleinen Tip: Ich gebe immer das Granulat in den Skimmer, dadurch verteilt es sich am besten im Poolwasser und der Filter wird vernünftig desinfiziert durch das Chlor.

Ich habe den Skimmer kokido Skimbi bekommen, der dem Skimmer auf dem Bild oben optisch absolut gleicht (außer dass er vorne komplett mit Sicherheitshinweisen bedruckt ist), aber leider nur für 32mm Schläuche geeignet ist (abweichend zu der Angabe bei den Fragen oben, dass der Schlauch 38mm hätte). Ich habe ihn auf 38mm umgebaut, so dass ich meinen inzwischen in die Jahre gekommenen alten Skimmer mit 38mm-Anschluss einfach ersetzen kann.

Fonctionne très bien une fois installé mais la pince de fixation est trop petite pour les piscine tubulaire intex de 5.49 de diamètre et plus.
